ISO standards provide guidelines for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of clean rooms. Clean rooms are enclosed spaces with controlled environmental conditions, used for manufacturing or research purposes that require extremely low levels of airborne particles, such as in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. Here are some key ISO standards related to clean rooms:
- ISO 14644: This standard provides guidelines for clean room classification based on the maximum allowable concentration of particles in the air, as well as guidance on testing and monitoring methods.
- ISO 14698: This standard provides guidance on the bio-contamination control of clean rooms and associated controlled environments.
- ISO 14644-2: This standard provides guidelines for the testing and monitoring of clean room performance, including air cleanliness, air flow, and temperature and humidity control.
- ISO 14644-3: This standard provides guidance on the selection and use of clean room equipment, including ventilation systems, filters, and airlocks.
- ISO 14644-4: This standard provides guidance on the design and construction of clean rooms and associated controlled environments.
- ISO 14644-5: This standard provides guidelines for the operational procedures and requirements for clean room facilities.
- ISO 14644-6: This standard provides guidance on the measurement of viable particles in clean rooms and associated controlled environments.
- ISO 14644-7: This standard provides guidance on the characterization of contamination sources in clean rooms and associated controlled environments.
It's important to note that these standards are constantly being updated and revised to keep up with the latest developments in clean room technology and best practices.
