EPANL Now Cleanroom Rated!
EPANL is now ISO 5 rated, making it suitable for manufacturing facilities where it is a requirement to protect people, product and processes from contamination from light fixtures.
What is ISO 5?
The International Standards Organization (ISO) 14644-1 and Federal Standard 209E are two sets of standards that are commonly used to classify cleanrooms. ISO cleanroom classifications are rated ISO 1 through ISO 9 according to how much particulate of specific sizes exist in a cubic meter. The lower the ISO rating, the cleaner the cleanroom. Similarly, Federal Standard 209E rates cleanrooms from Class 1 to Class 100,000. The lower the Class rating, the cleaner the cleanroom. For reference, the EPANL is classified as ISO 5 which is also equivalent to Class 100. See chart for cleanroom classifications.
