Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Part 8 : assessment of air cleanliness by chemical concentration (ACC)
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 100 g/m3 and 10−12 g/m3 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.

ISO 14644-8:2013 establishes the classification 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 within the specification for classification.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
