Summary of ISO 14644 (ISO Cleanliness Classes)

ISO-14644 consists of Classification of Air Cleanliness, Cleanroom Testing for Compliance, Cleanroom Design & Construction, Cleanroom Operations, Terms, Definitions & Units and Minienvironments & Isolators.

ISO-14644-1 Classification of Air Cleanliness

Cleanliness class designations and quantity have changed from FS209E (see table A). Along with the obvious change to metric measure of air volume, ISO 14644-1 adds three additional classes - two cleaner than Class 10 and one dirtier than Class 100,000.

ISO-14644-2 Cleanroom Testing for Compliance
ISO 14644-2 determines the type and frequency of testing required to conform with the standard. Table C indicates which tests are mandatory and table E indicates which tests are optional.
