Methods for evaluating and measuring cleanrooms and associated controlled environments.
Iso 14644 1 clean room standards.
To meet requirements of a clean room as defined by federal standard 209e and newer iso standards all clean rooms must not exceed a particulate count as specified in the air cleanliness class.
The cleanroom classification standards fs 209e and iso 14644 1 require specific particle count measurements and calculations to classify the cleanliness level of a cleanroom or clean area.
Terms definitions and units.
No assumptions are made regarding the distribution of the actual particle counts over the area of the cleanroom or clean zone.
This standard applies in general to all cleanrooms.
The number assigned to the class is the.
The former applies to clean rooms in general see table below.
In reality however you can reach an iso 6 clean room with 1 recommendation is 2 airlock.

This method is simple.
Whereas cleanliness standards were once defined by the federal standard 209e they have been replaced and simplified by iso with classifications 1 to 9.
Cleanroom testing for compliance.
Iso 6 cleanroom class 1 000 in theory for an entire room to reach iso 6 air cleanliness you need to enter the cleanroom via an iso 8 ante room then go through an iso 7 to finally get into the iso 6 as shown in the image.
While in iso 14644 1 1999 an underlying assumption was that the particle counts follow the same normal distribution across the room this assumption has now been discarded to allow the sampling to be used in rooms where.
Class 0 5 µm 1 µm.
Iso 14644 1 and iso 14698 are non governmental standards developed by the international organization for standardization iso.

The latter to cleanrooms where biocontamination may be an issue.
Simply speaking for iso 14644 1 classification threshold particles of 0 1 microns to 5 microns in size are considered.
