Environmental Conditions for Process Measurement and Control Systems: Airborne Contaminants

This test is carried out to classify airborne contaminants and biological influences that may affect electronic hardware, such as process measurement and control instruments, information techno log y (IT), telecommunications, networking and data centre equipment, and electronic office equipment..

The classification system provides users and manufacturers of electronic hardware with a means of specifying the type and concentration of airborne contaminants to which a specified piece of electronic hardware m ay be exposed. Specific examples of electronic office equipment include: laptop computers, desktop computers, workstations, servers, data storage hardware, terminals, displays, laser and inkjet printers, copiers, and fax machines. 

Examples of data centre equipment include: servers, switches, routers, displays, keyboards, data storage hardware, power distribution equipment, and climate control equipment such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) .Some examples of networking equipment include telecommunications hardware, switches, and routers.

This test yield airborne contaminant classes for fixed (non-mobile) installations during normal operation (non-emergency conditions) or during transportation and storage..
