1 Scope
This document establishes typical assessment processes to determine grading levels
of
air chemical cleanliness ( ACC ) in cleanrooms and associated
controlled environments, in terms of airborne concentrations of specific chemical
substances (individual, group or category), and provides a protocol to include test
methods, analysis and time-weighted factors for their determination. This document
currently considers only concentrations of air chemical contaminants between
10 0 g/m 3 and 10 −12 g/ m 3 under
cleanroom operational conditions.
This document is not relevant for application in those industries, processes or
productions where the presence of airborne chemical substances is not considered a
risk to the product or process.
It is not the intention of this document to describe the nature of air chemical
contaminants.
This document does not give a classification of surface chemical contamination .
