Understanding the L, M and H filtration classes
A vacuum cleaner's class indicates the proportion of dust that can pass through its filter. This class is mandatory when vacuuming dust that is hazardous to health.
| Class | Maximum permeability | Filter efficiency | Types of dust |
| L | 1% | 99% minimum | Non-hazardous dust |
| M | 0.1% | 99.9% minimum | Hazardous dusts: wood, plastics, metals, excluding carcinogens |
| H | 0.005% | 99.995% minimum | Harmful and carcinogenic dust, asbestos (minimum H13 filter) |
| ATEX zone 22 | From 1% to 0.005% | 99% to 99.995% | Explosive dusts St1 and St2 |
