Applying ISO methods to counter calibration– 21-Nov-2011
International standards for the monitoring of airborne particles apply to all cleanrooms or clean zones. The international committee, TC209 Working Group 1, has been examining potential revisions to the first two sections of the ISO 14644 document. One key change in the proposed revision is the normative reference to a calibration standard for the instrument to be used for cleanroom classification. Although calibration will probably create some additional cost, there will be noteworthy benefits in both the repeatability and the reproducibility of the measurements obtained
