Cleanroom Supplies

Cleanroom supplies are specicially designed products that meet ISO standards to minimize pollutants like airborne microbes, dust, debris, and aerosol particles. Paper, pens, chairs, mops, and more must be manufactured in facilities that meet ISO standards to prevent the shedding of material that could damage critical components.

A cleanroom operator often will wear a bunny suit to prevent the material shed from their clothing from entering the air. Manufacturing facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and medical laboratories depend on the integrity of their critical environment.

At the fundamental level, ISO classifies cleanrooms according to the number of airborne particles. But the ISO also has standards to assist cleanroom operators in enacting best practices. Experts internationally agree upon ISO standards, and the federal government mandates cleanrooms to follow ISO standards. The ISO governs the following in regards to cleanrooms:

• Quality management
• Energy management
• Environmental management
• Food safety
• IT security
• Health and Safety

The above ISO standards assist cleanroom operators in managing the number of airborne particulates in their critical environment.

Until September 11, 1992, federal regulations set the standards for cleanliness in cleanrooms. FED-STD-209 was a notice that the federal standards would be canceled and superseded by ISO Standards.

In the United States, ISO standards regulate the classification of air cleanliness in cleanrooms. The standard of measure used is airborne particles.

Below, you can see the equivalent ISO and federal standards:

• ISO 8 – Class 100,000
• ISO 7 – Class 10,000
• ISO 6 – Class 1,000
• ISO 5 – Class 100
• ISO 4 – Class 10
• ISO 3 – Class 1

Cleanliness is next to godliness in a controlled environment. Every item in the facility must be purposefully made for its application. Pens, paper, mops, and more are manufactured to the most stringent standards. All products must not shed particles that contaminate your facility.
