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.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

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. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and on

Introduction

Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments are used for the control of contamination to levels

appropriate for performing contamination-sensitive activities.

Products and processes that benefit from the control of contamination include those in industries

such as aerospace, microelectronics, optics, displays, nuclear, micro mechanical devices, consumer

goods, cosmetics and life sciences (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food). Contamination control

in healthcare-related industries (pharmaceutical, medical devices …) benefit the patients by enabling

access to products free of potentially harmful particles.

Consumables are widely used during preparation and operations in cleanrooms, clean zones or

controlled zones to maintain the air or surface cleanliness level in the cleanroom by shielding a

contamination source or a vulnerable object or by removing contamination from a surface. For

monitoring and testing purposes, consumables may be used for sampling contamination. Consumables

need to be carefully selected and appropriately used in order to maintain cleanliness levels and mitigate

risk for processes and products.

Consumables are used for a limited time only. They do not constitute a part of the final product.

This document addresses the assessment of suitability of consumables for being used in cleanrooms,

clean zones or controlled zones in respect to contamination in air and on surfaces by:

— particles,
— chemicals or;
— microorganisms.

Customers or users need to have the possibility to assess a given consumable by matching their intended

use requirements with the designed use data of the supplier. This might be supplemented by additional

tests. This match of intended use and designed use is addressed as appropriate use.

Depending on the use case, an impact assessment to determine the kind and acceptable quantity of

contamination from consumables can be derived by benchmarking the requirements with respect to

emission of contaminants.

This document is written for suppliers (manufacturers of consumables or distributors) and customers

(as users of consumables) to assess the suitability of consumables for their use in cleanrooms.

The cleanroom suitability assessment always has to be accompanied with description of use, technical

data as required by the nature of the consumable and test results. A sole statement such as “suitable

for cleanroom of classification ISO 5” is not foreseen, due to the variety and complexity of use cases and

the likelihood that a consumable suitability assessment would not rely on test data relating solely to

airborne particle emissions.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 14644-18:2022(E)
Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments —
Part 18:
Assessment of suitability of consumables
1 Scope

This document gives guidance for assessing personal and non-personal consumables for their

appropriate use in cleanrooms, clean zones or controlled zones, based on product and process

requirements, cleanliness attributes and functional performance properties. The cleanliness attributes

addressed are particles or chemicals in air or on surfaces. Biocontamination (viable particles/

microorganisms) is considered as a special property of consumables. Identification of associated risks

are considered.
This document complements cleanroom operation as outlined in ISO 14644-5.
This document gives guidance concerning:
— determination of cleanroom suitability of consumables in general;

— specification of requirements for an intended use of a candidate consumable by the customer with

respect to functional performance, cleanliness attributes and special properties;

— specification of properties for a designed use of a candidate consumable by supplier;

— assessment of a candidate consumable for an appropriate use;
— documentation.

Informative annexes are used to list examples for personal and non-personal consumables, verification

methods for cleanliness attributes testing as well as the potential impact of consumables on a

cleanroom.

Cleaning agents, disinfectants and lubricants are considered as cleanroom consumables with respect

to their packaging, as their packaging is likely to have cleanliness requirements in common with all

cleanroom consumables.
This document does not apply to:
— design details of consumables,

— testing of functional performance of materials, e.g., barrier properties of gloves, wear and slip

resistance of flooring;

— health and safety requirements; legal documents of a specific country shall be considered;

— cleanability;
— (raw) materials which are added within the production process as ingredient;
— performance or function testing;
— transport containers;
— process media such as gases or liquids;
— the functional performance of cleaning agents, disinfectants and lubricants.
