Outline of Fed. Std. 209E
|
The highest value of a class is the name of
the class.
The highest value is expressed with a concentration
more than specified
(Number of Particles per Unit Volume).
|
|
Item |
Description |
Unit |
Primarily the metric system is used and
UK units are used in combination. |
Class
Expression |
The number of particles of 0.5§ or larger
is defined with 10/§© and X is used for the mark of class.
¡®M¡¯ is added to clearly represent the mark of the metric
system. |
Class
Classification |
Class M1 with higher level of cleanliness
than that of 209D Class 1 and Class M7 with lower level
of cleanliness than that of Class 100,000 were added. |
Particle
Instrumentation |
CNC can be used in instrumentation and the
diameter of a particle instrumented can be 0.02§ or larger.
In that case, Class U(X) is marked.
U = Mark of Particle Instrumentation
X = Maximum Particle Concentration (P/§©) |
Standard
Measurement Particle |
It can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 or 5 micron
but other diameters may be used. |
Sampling |
Other sampling flows may be used in instrumentation
depending on the location of instrumentation but the particle
concentration must be expressed as ¡®number/unit volume.¡¯
If the number of sampling points is 10 or more, then a
simple average may be used. If the level of cleanliness
is higher than Class M2.5, a continuous sampling may be
allowed for reducing the instrumentation time. |
Annex |
Standards and terms related to 209D are
deleted but the uniform velocity suctioning, super-fine
particle concentration measurement and continuous sampling,
for higher level of cleanliness than Class M2.5, are added. |

These represent the general rule about the selection of the air
current velocity in a clean room.
The air current velocity is specified as (1) average velocity (m/s
or ft/m) or (2) the number of ventilation per hour (number / hour).

1. The average velocity is generally used for unitary direction.
2. The number of ventilation per hour can be determined by the following
expression:

Item |
Description |
Entry&Exit |
- Minimize and separately consider Entry and Exit. (Especially
for the installation of air shower)
- Do not expose them directly to the air (Air Lock Room)
- Locate them downstream (Especially, Cross Floor).
|
Locker Room |
- Take as much as air for the locker room.
- Install a washstand and prepare drinks if many peoples
gather.
- Install at least the double door between clean rooms.
(Install Air Shower Systems)
- Enable internal communications.
- Establish a rest room, if necessary.
|
Take In & Out |
- Use a pass box if applicable (parts).
- Attach a take-in hole. (Large Systems)
|
Indoor Arrangement |
- Simplify.
- Install the control office outdoor. Consider how to contact.
- Plan to expand.
- Minimize the movement.
- Consider the direction of fresh air current to arrange
workplace.
- In works causing oscillation, use partitions, local exhaust
and return duct.
|
Indoor Facilities |
- Minimize the exposure of wire and duct.
- Install the light system over the ceiling if applicable.
- Prepare for emergency, fire, blackout or poisonous gas.
- Install an inter-phone or telephone.
- Clean.
- Record particles concentration, temperature and humidity.
