Assessing Suitability of Cleanroom Consumables Based on Your Requirements Using ISO 14644-18

Cleanrooms and other controlled environments are used to protect products and process from the harmful effects of contaminants. This course will provide guidance as presented in the newly published standard for the evaluation of and implementation of equipment and or materials that are used in the cleanroom. The course covers information that should be available from the vendor concerning the item of choice and suggests information that the customer should be willing to provide to ensure a successful implementation of the item intended for use in the cleanroom. This course would be helpful for anyone who is tasked with the selection of products for use in a cleanroom and ongoing evaluation of their utility in the desired end use.
