Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of
standardizing documents.
This document is Part 1 of GB/T 25915, Cleanrooms and associated controlled
environments. The following parts have been issued for GB/T 25915:
-- 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;

This document serves as a replacement of GB/T 25915.1-2010 Cleanrooms and
associated controlled environments - Part 1: Classification of air cleanliness. In
comparison with GB/T 25915.1-2010, apart from structural adjustments and editorial
modifications, the main technical changes are as follows:
a) Add apparatus requirements for particle determination in Clause 1 (see Clause 1);
b) Add “Normative references” (see Clause 2);
c) in Clause 3 Terms and definitions:
-- Modify the definitions of cleanroom, clean zone, classification, particle, etc.
(see 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.4, 3.2.1; 2.1.1 of the 2010 edition);
-- Delete terms such as ultrafine particle, fiber, U descriptor, customer and
supplier (2.2.5, 2.2.7, 2.3.1, 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 of the 2010 version);
-- Add definitions such as unidirectional airflow, non-unidirectional airflow,
resolution, maximum permissible measurement error, light scattering (discrete)
airborne particle counter, discrete-macroparticle counter and time-of-flight
particle sizing apparatus (see 3.2.7, 3.2.8, 3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.5.1, 3.5.2, 3.5.3);
d) Add notes to Table 1 (see Table 1);
e) Add a clear application particle size range (see 4.2);
f) Add the intermediate decimal cleanliness classes and particle size thresholds (see
4.5);
g) Modify the contents of Annex B and Annex C and integrate them into the
normative Annex A (see Annex A; Annex B and Annex C of the 2010 version);
h) Enrich the content of Annex D to Annex B (see Annex B; Annex D of the 2010
edition);
i) Delete the content of ultrafine particle in Annex E, enrich the technical
requirements for counting and sizing of macroparticles, and integrate them into
Annex C (see Annex C; Annex E of the 2010 version);
j) Modify Annex F and integrate it into Annex D (see Annex F; Annex D of the 2010
edition);
k) Add notes on the intermediate decimal cleanliness classes and particle size
thresholds (see Annex E);
l) Delete Annex A “Illustration of cleanliness” (see Annex A of the 2010 version).
This document modifies and adopts ISO 14644-1:2015 Cleanrooms and associated
controlled environments - Part 1: Classification of air cleanliness by particle
concentration.
The technical differences between this document and ISO 14644-1:2015, and the causes
for these differences are as follows:
-- Modify Formula (A.1) in the normative Annex A. The reason is that Formula (A.1)
is applicable to clean rooms with smaller areas. For large-scale and ultra-large-
scale clean rooms above 10 000 m2 in our country, it exposes the problems of too
many sampling locations and failure to adopt more reasonable sampling statistical
principles.
This document also makes the following editorial modifications:
Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Part
1: Classification of air cleanliness by particle concentration
1 Scope
This document specifies the classification of air cleanliness in terms of concentration
of airborne particles in cleanrooms and clean zones; and separative devices as defined
in GB/T 25915.7.
Only particle populations having cumulative distributions based on threshold (lower
limit) particle sizes of 0.1 μm ~ 5 μm are considered for classification purposes.
Concentrations of ultrafine particles (< 0.1 μm) will be addressed in a separate standard
to specify air cleanliness by nano-scale particles. The use of light scattering (discrete)
airborne particle counters (LSAPC) is the basis for determination of the concentration
of macroparticles ( > 5 μm) at designated sampling locations. An M descriptor may be
used to quantify populations of macroparticles.
This document cannot be used to characterize the physical, chemical, radiological,
viable or other nature of airborne particles.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of
their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the
version corresponding to that date is applicable to this document; for undated references,
the latest version (including all amendments) is applicable to this document.
GB/T 25915.2-2021, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Part 2:
Monitoring to provide evidence of cleanroom performance related to air cleanliness
by particle concentration (ISO 14644-2:2015, IDT)
GB/T 25915.7, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Part 7:
Separative devices (clean air hoods, gloveboxes, isolators and minienvironments)
(GB/T 25915.7-2020, ISO 14644-7:2004, IDT)
GB/T 29024.4-2017, Determination of particle size distribution - Single particle
light interaction methods - Part 4: Light scattering airborne particle counter for clean
spaces (ISO 21501-4:2007, IDT)
Compliance with air cleanliness (ISO Class) requirements specified by the customer is
verified by performing specified testing procedures and by providing documentation of
the results and conditions of testing.
At-rest or operational classification may be performed periodically based upon risk
assessment of the application, typically on an annual basis.
For monitoring cleanrooms, clean zones and separative devices, GB/T 25915.2-2021
shall be used.
Note: Where the installation is equipped with instrumentation for continuous or
frequent monitoring of air cleanliness by particle concentration and other
parameters of performance as applicable, the time intervals between
classification may be extended provided that the results of the monitoring
remain within the specified limits.
5.2 Testing
The reference test method for demonstrating compliance is given in Annex A
(normative). Alternative methods or instrumentation (or both), having at least
comparable performance, may be specified. If no alternative is specified or agreed upon,
the reference method shall be used.
Tests performed to demonstrate compliance shall be conducted using instruments which
are in compliance with calibration requirements at the time of testing.
5.3 Airborne particle concentration evaluation
Upon completion of testing in accordance with Annex A, the concentration of particles
(expressed as number of particles per cubic metre) in a single sample volume at each
sampling location shall not exceed the concentration limit(s) given in Table 1 or Table
E.1 for intermediate decimal classes for the considered size(s). If multiple single sample
volumes are taken at a sampling location, the concentrations shall be averaged and the
average concentration must not exceed the concentration limits given in Table 1 or
Table E 1. Intermediate particle sizes shall be derived from Formula (E.1).
Particle concentrations used for determination of compliance with ISO Classes shall be
measured by the same method for all considered particle sizes.
5.4 Test report
The results from testing each cleanroom or clean zone shall be recorded and submitted
as a comprehensive report, along with a statement of compliance or non-compliance
with the specified designation of air cleanliness class by particle concentration.
The test report shall include:
