Definitions

According to http://www.set3.com/standards.html

Originally Federal Standard 209E defined a class 10,000 clean room based on the particle counts given below. A class 10,000 clean room is currently defined as an ISO 7 clean room using the ISO standard 146441.

Clas maximum particles/m³
ISO-146441 Federal Standard 209E ≥0.3 µm ≥0.5 µm ≥1 µm ≥5 µm
ISO-6 1,000 102,000 35,200 8,320 293
