Test functions that meet the specified criteria (Pass) shall be indicated with the word “Pass”
while test functions not meeting the specified criteria (Fail) shall be so indicated with the word
“Fail” in the appropriate column. All test functions must be marked Pass, Fail, or N/A (not
applicable).
2.3 Test Acceptance

After completion of the data sheets, a reviewer other than the person(s) executing the test
functions will review for completeness and ensure all acceptance criteria are met.
This Protocol is complete when all discrepancies within the Protocol have been resolved and
corrective actions have been implemented. The “Approval of Completed Protocol” (7) section
is then signed by all signatories to indicate agreement that all acceptance criteria have been
met and all discrepancies have been resolved with appropriate corrective action.
A final report will be generated once this Protocol has been executed and corrective actions
completed. A summary of the results obtained will be compiled and a conclusion drawn based
on these results.

Note: The test is designed with the assumption that the instrument has 6 size channels. If the Unit
Under Test has a different number of channels, mark the unused channels as “not applicable” or
“n/a” for the case of fewer channels, and use only the initial 6 channels in the case of a unit with
more than 6 size channels.
Test Setup:
1. Execute Test Scripts from section 4.4 Operating Modes prior to execution of section 4.5.
2. Refer to the printed tapes collected during execution of section 4.4 for data to be entered in
this section.
Test Method:
1. Record the printed cumulative particle count data from section 4.4.1 Auto Mode as required
in section 4.5.1 Report Data Calculations.
2. Calculate the mean, mean of the averages, standard deviation and standard error of the
cumulative data as required in section 4.5.1 Report Data Calculations.
3. Compare the manually calculated results with the Print Averages values and verify that they
are equivalent.
4. Transfer recorded cumulative count values to the ISO 14644-1 Report Verification.
5. Calculate the averages of the recorded counts at each sample location and normalize values
to counts per cubic meter.
6. Calculate the mean of these normalized averages as well as the Standard Deviation,
Standard Error and 95% UCL (following methods as described in ISO 14644-1)
7. Compare the manually calculated results with the printed ISO 14644-1 report values and

In Sections 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 covering ISO 14644-1 and Section 5.5.2 Federal Standard 209E
Report Verification, reference is made to calculation of a Standard Deviation (SD). Examples
of this calculation are given in ISO 14644-1, Annex C and FS 209E, 5.4.2 and Appendix E. A
brief explanation of this calculation is given; users should refer to the appropriate standard for
additional details.
Standard deviation is a measurement of the variability of repeated measurements of a
parameter, in this case, particle counts. The ideal cleanroom or zone would have similar count
values in all areas of that room or zone. The real cleanroom or zone will have some variability
and SD is an indicator of that variability.
The SD measurement is a comparison of the average count value for each sampled location
Appendix Q (A1, A2, A3, A4,...) with the Mean of the Averages (M). The SD is determined by the following
formula, where L is the number of locations sampled, Ax is the average of the samples taken at
Informative – SD and SE Calculations Location x, and M is the Mean of Averages.
(A1-M)2 + (A2-M)2 + (A3-M)2 + (A4-M)2 ,...

L-1
2. Calculation of Standard Error (SE)

In Sections 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 covering ISO 14644-1 and Section 5.5.2 Federal Standard 209E
Report Verification, reference is made to calculation of a Standard Error (SE). Examples of
this calculation are given in ISO 14644-1, Annex C and FS 209E, 5.4.2 and Appendix E. A
brief explanation of this calculation is given; users should refer to the appropriate standard for
additional details.
The SE represents the variability of the data with an additional adjustment based on the
number of locations (L) sampled.
SE = SD
¥L
where SD is the Standard Deviation previously calculated and L is the number of sample
Locations used in this classification effort.
3. Calculation of the 95 % Upper Confidence Limit (UCL)

An added calculation is required by these standards to compensate for a sampling plan in
which only a few sampling locations are used to profile an area. In effect, the 95% UCL is a
“statistician’s penalty” to create a high level of assurance that the classification obtained when
only a few sample points are used is statistically sound enough to represent the true character
of the room in terms of airborne particle counts. There are two slight differences between the
ISO standard and the Federal Standard in the calculation of the UCL so the results of both
methods can differ slightly, but not usually enough to change the major classification of an
area.
The basic calculation for the 95% UCL is given by

UCL = M + (SE*t0.95)
Where t0.95 is the Student’s t factor value for the number of sampling positions used in the
classification method, M is the Mean of the Averages of the sample count data and SE is the
Standard Error calculated below. The formula above shows that the “statistician’s penalty”
creates an additive term that increases for larger values of Standard Error and also increases
when fewer number of sampling points are used, as dictated by the tables below for the
Student’s t factor (t0.95).
Difference 1: Number of sample points that trigger the use of the UCL
For the Federal Standard 209E, the UCL is used for a sampling method in which there are
between 2 [minimum number of points required by FS209E] and 9 sampling points. For
sampling methods in which there are 10 or more sampling points, the UCL does not need to be Appendix R
calculated; the classification is based only on the mean of the averages of the count data from
each position. Informative – Null Modem Wiring
For the ISO 14644-1 standard, a single position is acceptable for cleanrooms or zones with an
area equal to or less than one square meter. When only one sampling point is used to classify
the clean area, the result is determined by the average of three or more samples at that point
[see ISO 14644-1, Annex B.4.3.4].
The calculation of the UCL is required for any sampling method in which there are at least 2
but less than 10 positions used to categorize the cleanroom or zone.
Difference 2: Values of Student’s t factor used for 95% UCL calculation

There is a very minor variation in the Student’s t factor values used in Federal Standard 209E
and in ISO 14644-1. In almost all cases, this difference in values will not change the
classifications obtained using one method or the other.
