ISO 14644-1
FED STD 209E

definition

ISO 14644-1

cleanroom
A room in which the contamination of airborne
particles is controlled, and which is constructed
and used in a manner to minimize the
introduction, generation, and retention of
particles inside the room and in which other
relevant parameters. e.g. temperature, humidity,
and pressure, are controlled as necessary

definition

FED STD 209E

cleanroom
A room in which the concentration of airborne
particles is controlled and which contains one
or more clean zones

clean zone
A defined space in which the concentration of
airborne particles is controlled to meet a
specified airborne particulate cleanliness class
