This Recommended Practice (RP), covers procedures for calibrating and verifying equipment used in characterizing cleanrooms and for determining intervals of calibration. The RP includes general procedures for calibrating photometers, aerosol generators, and anemometers. Where available, references for calibrating other instruments are provided. In addition to photometers, aerosol generators, and anemometers, which were discussed in the previous edition of the RP, the new revision includes procedures for calibrating the following equipment:
• airflow capture hoods
• temperature measurement systems and devices
• pressure and vacuum gauges
• polymicrosphere (PSL) generators
• aerosol diluters
• condensation nuclei counters

The RP also provides guidance for determining intervals of calibration and includes a table of recommended intervals for each type of equipment.
