ISO 14644-3 Mechanical Test Methods for Cleanrooms: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

ISO 14644-3 is an international standard that provides guidelines for the mechanical test methods used in cleanroom environments. The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely accepted as a benchmark for cleanroom testing worldwide.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 14644-3 is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 14644-1:2015, which defines the classification of cleanrooms and associated controlled environments.

  • ISO 14644-2:2009, which provides guidelines for evaluating cleanliness in terms of particle concentration.

  • ASTM E2500-09, which is an American standard that outlines requirements for testing cleanrooms.

    • International and National Standards

    The following standards are relevant to ISO 14644-3:

  • EN 12404:2015 (European Standard) - specifies the classification of cleanrooms.

  • TSE 1519:2014 (Turkish Standard) - outlines requirements for testing cleanrooms.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining ISO 14644-3. Other standard development organizations, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), also contribute to the development of related standards.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. New editions of standards may include updated requirements, new testing methods, or revised classifications.
