A significant aspect of this cleanliness is control of particulate by way of room air filtration. This technology is well known and codified in several widely used standards, primarily International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14644-1 (1) and, for the manufacturing of sterile pharmaceuticals,  Eudralex , Volume 4, Annex 1 (2). Other factors besides air classification impact the potential for product contamination and production area cleanliness, and these are embodied within the concept of clean zones, which is defined in general term...
