5 Test setup
5.1 General
The test setup shall be designed for collecting representative samples of contaminants within the test
environment in order to assess specific emission rates from equipment and/or materials. It can be
designed as closed (see Figure 1), closed special application (see Figure 2) or open (see Figure 3).
Closed design is used for low specific emission rates and is the preferred method. Larger test objects
and equipment in operation may require the use of an open design test setup (see 5.4).
The tolerance of the temperature sensor shall be ±2 °C.
The tolerance of the flow meter shall be ±5 %.
The humidity of the purge gas shall be specified and controlled.
The sampling of ACC-emissions is performed by purging a defined gas volume onto a suitable
trapping system, e.g. an adsorber. Multiple trapping systems can be used to collect different species of
contaminants.
ISO 14644-8:2013, Annex C gives an overview regarding trapping and measuring techniques.
NOTE For considerations regarding VOC-sampling, see ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16017-1.
5.2 Closed design
Key
1 purge gas source 7 trapping system(s)
2 valve for purge gas supply 8 flow meter(s)
3 connection to chamber 9 valve(s) for flow control
4 test chamber 10 pump (option)
5 temperature sensor 11 mixing device (option)
6 material sample or equipment
NOTE Depending on the size of the test environment, a mixing device can be installed to enable
homogeneous mixing.
Figure 1 — Closed design
Using a closed design requires a flow-controlled purge gas supply and a flow meter installed after the
trapping system. The purge gas flow shall be controlled by a valve. In addition, a pump may be used
downstream of the flow meter.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14644-15 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 209, Cleanrooms and associated controlled
environments, and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 243, Cleanroom technology in collaboration.
ISO 14644 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cleanrooms and associated controlled
environments:
Part 1: Classification of air cleanliness by particle concentration
Part 2: Monitoring to provide evidence of cleanroom performance related to air cleanliness by particle
concentration
Part 3: Test methods
Part 4: Design, construction and start-up
Part 5: Operations
Part 7: Separative devices (clean air hoods, gloveboxes, isolators and mini-environments)

5 Test setup
5.1 General
The test setup shall be designed for collecting representative samples of contaminants within the test
environment in order to assess specific emission rates from equipment and/or materials. It can be designed as
closed (see Figure 1), closed special application (see Figure 2) or open (see Figure 3).
Closed design is used for low specific emission rates and is the preferred method. Larger test objects and
equipment in operation may require the use of an open design test setup (see 5.4).
The tolerance of the temperature sensor shall be ± 2 °C.
The tolerance of the flow meter shall be ± 5 %
The sampling of ACC-emissions is performed by purging a defined gas volume onto a suitable trapping
adsorbent. Multiple adsorber systems can be used to collect different species of contaminants.
ISO 14644-8:2013, Annex C gives an overview regarding trapping and measuring techniques.
NOTE For considerations regarding VOC-sampling see ISO 16000-6 and ISO 16017-1.
5.2 Closed design
NOTE Depending on the size of the test environment, a mixing device may be installed to enable homogeneous
mixing.
Key
1 purge gas source 6 material sample or equipment 11 mixing device (option)
2 valve for purge gas supply 7 adsorber(s)
3 connection to chamber 8 flow meter(s)
4 test chamber 9 valve(s) for flow control
5 temperature sensor 10 pump (option)
Figure 1 — Closed design
Using a closed design requires a flow controlled purge gas supply and a flow meter installed after the
adsorber. The purge gas flow shall be controlled by a valve. In addition a pump may be used downstream of
the flow meter.

Figure 3 — Open design
This setup is intended for larger equipment and equipment in operation. It typically represents a cleanroom or
controlled zone; therefore air is used as purge gas. Chemical filtration, make up air and background emission
can influence the capability of this test setup. The sampled amount of gas is a defined portion of the purge gas
going through the test environment. The remaining excess purge gas is released by the exhaust air (leakage
of the test environment and exhaust air passing the HVAC-system)
6 Representative mode
6.1 Equipment
The representative mode of operation has to reflect the intended use of the equipment. Representative
equipment parameters of operation shall be defined and agreed before testing.
6.2 Material
Materials shall be assessed in a form directly related to its intended use (including the material characteristics
as layers, composite, thickness, porosity and surface texture) by considering following parameters:
Age of material: 28±2 days;
Physical state: solid or liquid;
Surface area of the sample, derived from measurement or from projection (for porous and granular
materials).

oSIST prEN ISO 14644-15:2016
ISO/DIS 14644-15:2016(E)
If such a material sample cannot be obtained the proxy sample shall be manufactured with the same chemical
composition and shall have undergone a similar forming process as the finished component.
Material of different age can be assessed, but this deviation shall be clearly high-lighted. A comparison of
materials can only be performed based on using the same material age.
7 Visual inspection
7.1 General
Visual surface cleanliness shall be qualitatively assessed, before and after any quantitative assessment, such
that the quantitative tests shall not be compromised. The visual inspection should focus on chemical sources
that may have been inadvertently introduced during manufacture, packaging, shipment or in the case of
equipment, installation.
The results from visual inspection should be documented and be available for comparison with any post -test
visual inspection results. The outcome of a visual inspection may be used as basis to direct a repeat or
improved decontamination process for equipment, or the submission of a replacement material sample.
It is not intended that this inspection provides a measurement of sample cleanliness.
7.2 Equipment
The visual inspection shall ensure that all packaging has been removed, the equipment is undamaged, is
correctly assembled and appropriately connected to its required utilities.
Inspection should identify contamination, such as particles and films that may have originated from
manufacturing, packaging, transportation or initial assembly, which has withstood any prior decontamination
process.
Detection efficiency of visible contamination for equipment will depend upon the following factors:
The accessibility and orientation of the surface to be inspected;
Materials used for equipment construction, their surface condition and treatment;
Viewing parameters (e. g. illumination type, field of view, vision magnification, viewing distance).
7.3 Material
This visual inspection should focus on chemical sources that may have been inadvertently introduced during
manufacture, shipment, re-sizing or other preparation actions undergone by the material.
Therefore the objectives of this inspection are to:
Identify visual characteristics of the material that could influence subsequent testing. These
characteristics could include sample homogeneity, surface roughness, texture and porosity. Following
quantifiable testing the inspection should assess samples for any degradation due to test environment
factors such as temperature.
Visual inspection parameters such as viewing distance and illumination type can be more consistent than
those for equipment due to smaller sample size. Again, inspection parameters, along with the results of
inspection shall be documented.
