Cleanroom - 209E to ISO14644

#1
When our cleanroom was built it was to 209E Class 1, 10, 100. We do yearly self cert to this 209E. We know that 209E is no longer used. Can we self cert to the ISO 14644 or is anything more needed to change over to 14644 classes?

Thank you,

I do not see any issues but is always recommended to get external service provider as they have competent qualified professionals. Additionally, some of the equipment could be expensive, and there are lot of other requirements like calibration, preventive maintenance, maintaining documentation etc. which could get accumulated towards maintaining those equipment.

Getting the certification from an external service provider is definitely inexpensive than doing it yourself.

In principle the 2 standards are very similar, and the classifications are based on the same concentration of particulate. However there are a number of potential differences. I would recommend getting a copy of ISO14644-2015 Parts 1 and 2, and comparing them to what you do today. In particular, check out the required number of sampling locations and how the particulate numbers are used to obtain the classification. You may also have issues with your particulate counter meeting the ISO21501-4 standard.

One other point, make sure the information you use is based on the 2015 version of ISO14644. A lot of the information I see on the internet comes from the 2000 version which has a lot of differences, especially in sampling.
