AFNOR Éditions has released a new edition of its compendium, bringing together in a single volume the latest voluntary standards published on cleanrooms and addressing key topics such as the classification of different levels of cleanliness, performance maintenance, and biocontamination control.

Clean rooms (operating rooms, resuscitation rooms, etc.) are sensitive areas where hygiene is essential to prevent contamination and therefore any malfunction. These environments must be controlled to limit the concentration of particles in the air and thus prevent the introduction, production, and retention of particles inside the room. The safety of patients and healthcare professionals depends on it. To meet these safety and performance requirements, professionals can rely on voluntary standards.

Whether you are a professional working in microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, agri-food, or automotive, choose this collection now and save nearly 50% compared to purchasing standards individually.

In summary, the key standards:

  • AFNOR EN ISO 14644-1 (February 2016) Cleanrooms and related controlled environments – Part 1: Classification of airborne particulate contamination,
  • PR AFNOR EN ISO 14644-12 Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments – Part 12: Classification of air cleanliness based on nanoparticle concentration,
  • AFNOR EN ISO 14644-2 (February 2016) Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments – Part 2: Monitoring the maintenance of cleanroom performance for airborne particulate cleanliness (Classification index: X44-101-2),
  • AFNOR EN ISO 14644-10 (April 2013) Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments – Part 10: Classification of chemical cleanliness of surfaces
  • and many others on testing methods and equipment suitability for use, biocontamination control, etc.
