The main characteristic of a clean room is its class, which characterizes the degree of air purity in it. The classification is given in developed and widely used standards and has a number of distinctive features in relation to the industries where these standards are used. For example, the regulation of the number of viable microorganisms in a clean room is of great importance in the pharmaceutical, food industry and medical practice, and in other areas of industry this parameter is not decisive for such a room.
The classification of clean rooms is made in accordance with the number of particles of a certain size per unit volume of air and is regulated by the international standard GOST ISO 14644-1
