Space product assurance - Particles contamination monitoring for spacecraft systems and cleanrooms

This standard defines the requirements and guidelines for the measurement of particulate contamination on the surfaces of spacecraft systems and those of the cleanrooms or other cleanliness controlled areas in which they reside.
This includes the measurement of particulate contamination that is present on the spacecraft or cleanroom surfaces via the use of representative witness samples placed in the vicinity of the spacecraft hardware, the direct measurement of particulate contamination
levels on surfaces of spacecraft hardware from the direct surface transfer to adhesive tape-lift samples and particulate contaminant levels within fluids used for the cleaning or rinsing of such spacecraft system components and cleanroom surfaces. This standard also defines the methods to be used for the visual inspection of spacecraft system hardware for particulate contamination.
The measurement of airborne particulate contamination is not covered in this standard and ISO 14644 “Cleanrooms and associated
controlled environments” is applicable in this case.
This standard does not cover particulate contamination monitoring for spacecraft propulsion hardware which is covered in ECSS-E-ST-35-06.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Zagotavljanje varnih proizvodov v vesoljski tehniki - Nadzorovanje onesnaženja z delci v sistemih vesoljskega plovila in čistih prostorih

Ta standard določa zahteve in smernice za merjenje onesnaženja z delci na površinah sistemov vesoljskega plovila in površinah čistih prostorov ali drugih območij z nadzorom čistoče, v katerih bivajo. Sem spada merjenje onesnaženja z delci, ki je prisotno na površinah vesoljskega plovila ali čistih prostorov, z uporabo reprezentativnih vzorcev v bližini strojne opreme vesoljskega plovila, neposredno merjenje ravni onesnaženja z delci na površinah strojne opreme vesoljskega plovila z neposrednega prenosa s površin na vzorce, zbrane z adhezivnim trakom, in ravni onesnaženja z delci v tekočinah, ki se uporabljajo za čiščenje ali splakovanje teh komponent sistemov vesoljskega plovila in površin čistih prostorov. Ta standard določa tudi metode, ki se uporabljajo za vizualni pregled strojne opreme sistemov vesoljskega plovila za onesnaženje z delci. Merjenje onesnaženja z delci v zraku ni obravnavano v tem standardu; v tem primeru se uporablja standard ISO 14644 »Čiste sobe in podobna nadzorovana okolja«. Ta standard ne obravnava nadzorovanja onesnaženja z delci za pogonsko strojno opremo vesoljskega plovila, kar je obravnavano v standardu ECSS-E-ST-35-06. Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00

Foreword
This document (EN 16602-70-50:2015) has been prepared by Technical
Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 “Space”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This standard (EN 16602-70-50:2015) originates from ECSS-Q-ST-70-50C.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either
by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2015,
and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2015.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document
may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held
responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has
therefore precedence over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider
domain of applicability (e.g. : aerospace).
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards
organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European
Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,

Kingdom.
Introduction
Particulate contaminants can be hazardous to spacecraft in a number of ways
including failure of precision mechanisms, light absorption and scattering,
points of high local electric field and associated electrostatic discharge, and
noise on electrical contacts. It is therefore important to control, measure and
verify the particulate contamination levels on spacecraft systems and the
environments in which they reside, in order that an assessment can be made on
any hazards that may be present as a result of such contamination.
The objective of this standard is to ensure that the particle monitoring of
spacecraft systems and cleanrooms utilised in the production of such systems,
is carried out in an appropriate manner, and is controlled both in terms of the
precision of the measurements and the reproducibility of such measurements.
Scope
This standard defines the requirements and guidelines for the measurement of
particulate contamination on the surfaces of spacecraft systems and those of the
cleanrooms or other cleanliness controlled areas in which they reside.
This includes the measurement of particulate contamination that is present on
the spacecraft or cleanroom surfaces via the use of representative witness
samples placed in the vicinity of the spacecraft hardware, the direct
measurement of particulate contamination levels on surfaces of spacecraft
hardware from the direct surface transfer to adhesive tape-lift samples and
particulate contaminant levels within fluids used for the cleaning or rinsing of
such spacecraft system components and cleanroom surfaces. This standard also
defines the methods to be used for the visual inspection of spacecraft system
hardware for particulate contamination.
The measurement of airborne particulate contamination is not covered in this
standard and ISO 14644 “Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments”
is applicable in this case.
This standard does not cover particulate contamination monitoring for
spacecraft propulsion hardware which is covered in ECSS-E-ST-35-06.
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a
space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.
