Maintaining the integrity of cleanrooms is crucial across various industries, from pharmaceuticals to Semiconductor manufacturing. One of the key standards ensuring this integrity is EN ISO 14644-2. This standard sets out the minimum requirements for monitoring cleanroom air cleanliness through particle concentration, helping facilities maintain compliance with air purity levels.

Purpose

EN iso 14644-2 focuses on monitoring the air cleanliness of cleanrooms and related controlled environments.

Scope

Covers monitoring of airborne particle concentrations to sustain clean environments.

Key Aspects

Establishes requirements for parameters, monitoring frequency, and data analysis.

Purpose of EN ISO 14644-2

EN ISO 14644-2 ensures that cleanrooms and related controlled environments consistently meet required particle concentration levels, critical for maintaining a clean and controlled atmosphere. By adhering to these standards, companies like Deiiang™, led by product designer Deiiang Jason.peng, can design and maintain cleanrooms that meet international quality benchmarks.

Scope of EN ISO 14644-2

The scope specifically covers the monitoring of airborne particle concentrations, a key factor in sustaining clean environments. It outlines:

  • Monitoring frequency
  • Parameters to measure
  • Data analysis procedures

This standard plays a vital role in industries where particulate contamination could compromise product integrity or safety.

Key Aspects of the Standard            

Parameters to be Monitored

Specifies which particulate sizes need to be controlled, focusing on 0.1 μm to 5 μm.

"The standard establishes minimum requirements for a robust monitoring program"

Relationship with iso 14644-1

EN ISO 14644-2 is closely related to ISO 14644-1, which classifies cleanrooms based on particle concentrations. While ISO 14644-1 provides the classification criteria, EN ISO 14644-2 ensures that the prescribed cleanliness levels are maintained through continuous monitoring. This complementary relationship enhances Cleanroom operational integrity.
