ISO 14644-4, Design, construction and start-up
(U.S. Title: ANSI/IEST/ISO 14644-4:2001)
ISO 14644, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Part 4: Design, construction and start-up,
specifies requirements for the design and construction of cleanroom and
clean air devices, as well as requirements for start-up and
qualification. This International Standard also provides guidance on the
basic elements of design and construction. The document was submitted
as an American National Standard and has been adopted as ANSI/IEST/ISO
14644-4:2001 in the United States.
Scope of ISO 14644-4
ISO
14644-4 specifies the requirements for the design and construction of
the cleanroom facilities (to be referred to as clean installations), but
does not prescribe specific technological nor contractual means to meet
the requirements. It is intended for use by purchasers, suppliers, and
designers of cleanroom installations and provides a check list of
important parameters of performance. Construction guidance is provided,
including requirements for start up and qualification. Basic elements of
design and construction needed to ensure continued satisfactory
operations are identified through the consideration of relevant aspects
of operation and maintenance.
Limitations include:
- User requirements are represented by purchaser or specifier.
- Specific processes to be accommodated in the cleanroom installations are not specified.
- Fire
and safety regulations are not considered specifically; the appropriate
national and local requirements should be respected
- Process
media and utility services are only considered with respect to their
routing between and in the different zones of cleanliness.
- Regarding initial operation and maintenance, only cleanroom construction-specific requirements are considered.
Germany
(DIN) is the convenor of the Working Group that produced ISO 14644-4.
Over 1,000 professionals from the 34 nations of ISO/TC 209 have created a
family of true international standards, governing all aspects of the
cleanroom community — from design inception to daily operations.
