A cleanroom must have less than 35 200 000 particles 0 5 micron per cubic meter and 20 hepa filtered air changes per hour.
Iso class 1 clean room.
Depending on the iso class there are required averages for the number of air changes per hour.
Iso class 1 the cleanest cleanroom is iso 1 used in industries such as life sciences and electronics that require nanotechnology or ultra fine particulate processing.
As an example iso 8 cleanrooms also known as class 100 000 cleanrooms can be modular or soft walled and have a maximum particle count of 100 000 particles 0 5 um per cubic foot of interior air.
Class iso 146144 1 federal standard 209e average airflow velocity m s ft min air changes per hour ceiling coverage.
The latter to cleanrooms where biocontamination may be an issue.
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.
Iso 8 is the least clean cleanroom classification.
As of november 29th 2001 the federal standard 209e has been replaced with iso 14644 1.
Iso 7 class 10 000 0 051 0 076 10 15 60 90.
In reality however you can reach an iso 6 clean room with 1 recommendation is 2 airlock.
Small numbers refer to iso 14644 1 standards which specify the decimal logarithm of the number of particles 0 1 µm or larger permitted per cubic metre of air.
The former applies to clean rooms in general see table below.
Iso class 1 iso class 2 and iso class 3 will require 500 to 750 air changes per hour.
The lower the iso class the more stringent the requirements for keeping particles and contamination to the acceptable levels of the room class.
Iso 5 class.
The recommended air changes per hour for an iso class 1 clean room is 500 750 and the ceiling coverage should be 80 100.
Iso 14644 1 and iso 14698.
The equivalent fed standard is class 100 000 or 100 000 particles per cubic foot.
The number of air changes per hour refers to the volume of filtered air in a single hour divided by the cleanroom volume.
Iso 8 class 100 000 0 005 0 041 1 8 5 48.
Ordinary room air is around class 1 000 000 or iso 9.
Iso 6 class 1 000 0 127 0 203 25 40 150 240.
Iso 14644 1 and iso 14698 are non governmental standards developed by the international organization for standardization iso.
Iso 14644 1 and older standard fs 209e determine class by the concentration levels of particles.
By comparison a typical office space would be 5 10 times more dirty.
The class defines a minimum cleanliness level not a specific design.
However class will greatly impact design considerations such as filtration hvac requirements and other design elements.
