What is ISO 14644-3 – C leanroom testing about?
ISO 14644 discusses cleanrooms and associated controlled environments. ISO 14644-3 is the third part of the multi-series on cleanrooms and associated controlled environments, and provides test methods in support of the operation for cleanrooms and clean zones to meet air cleanliness classification, other cleanliness attributes, and related controlled conditions.
Performance tests are specified for two types of cleanrooms and clean zones: those with unidirectional airflow and those with non-unidirectional airflow, in three possible occupancy, states as-built, at-rest, and operational.
Note: Not all cleanroom parameter test procedures are shown in this document. The procedure and apparatus for the test carried out for the air cleanliness classes by particle concentration and for macroparticles are provided in BS EN ISO 14644-1 and specifications for monitoring air cleanliness by nanoscale particle concentrations are provided in BS EN ISO 14644-12 . The procedures and apparatus to characterize other parameters, of concern in cleanrooms and clean zones used for specific products or processes, are discussed elsewhere in other documents, for example, procedures for control and measurement of viable materials ( BS EN ISO 14698 series), testing cleanroom functionality ( BS EN ISO 14644-4 ), and testing of separative devices ( BS EN ISO 14644-7 ). In addition, other standards can be considered to be applicable. Other cleanliness attribute levels can be determined using BS EN ISO 14644-8 (levels of air cleanliness by chemicals), BS EN ISO 14644-9 (levels of surface cleanliness by particle concentration) and BS EN...
