Equation A.1






















Equation A.1: N = 27 [A/1000]
The volume sampled at each location shall be at least 2 litres, with a minimum sampling time at each location of 1 minute. The sampling probe shall be positioned at working level and air flow probe shall be directed vertically upward.
Where only one sampling location is determined, minimum of location shall be considered.
Acceptance Criteria: All the clean rooms should comply as per the designed class at rest as per ISO 14644-1 & WHO TRS 961.
