Talk:Cleanroom

The first meaning of "cleanroom" for software engineering? I am skeptical.

the article is a double: Clean room

This should be a disambiguation page to the existing clean_room and clean_room_design pages.

There should be a disambiguation page

Just that: there should be a disambiguation page. Industrial "clean room" has nothing to do with the Software Engineering meaning.

I've split Cleanroom(Software Engineering) to a separate article and added disambiguation links on top of both pages.Skydiver 13:42, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Cleanroom class comparison

The cleanroom class comparison is off by about a factor of 35. Either fix or ditch :-) --Ihope127 21:54, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

It's now off by only a factor of 3.5. --User:driscolj

Need history

This page should include the history of clean rooms. Part of it involves Willis Whitfield, whose story is shared at this link: http://www.hsutx.edu/advancement/news/hol/06-whitfield.htm

New Table to do

British standards (BS 5295) need to be totally corrected using these sources:

Confusion over particles per cubic meter and particles per cubic foot

This page refers to number of particles per cubic meter and particles per cubic foot. Only one should be correct

Notable facilities

Our article on biosafety levels has a list of BSL-4 facilities (those with the most stringent specifications). This article would benefit from a list of the most highly specified cleanrooms. A quick google turns up something about an ISO class 1 cleanroom being built, so can anyone incorporate a list of facilities built to the highest standards?

Huh?

This sentence:

"To give perspective, the ambient air outside in a typical urban environment might contain as many as 35,000,000 particles per cubic meter, 0.5 μm and larger in diameter, corresponding to an ISO 9 cleanroom."

...makes absolutely no sense to me. I have no idea what an ISO is. There are plenty of ISOs but none are referred to or specified in the first paragraph. I have no idea what 9 means i.e. "ISO 9" except that it must be as dirty as the air outside in a city. That doesn't sound "clean" to me. So why is it mentioned as a cleanroom score? What is the scale we are working with? Is "1" clean and 10 dirty? Or is 1 particle-free and 100 = a clod of tightly packed dirt"? Is the "typical city" Paris or Omaha or Bejing?

This first paragraph has the bizarre distinction of being both totally unclear to the cleanroom novice and also horribly written if penned by someone with enough of an education to be an "expert". 70.143.75.66 (talk) 07:00, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

ISO 9, I suppose, it's ISO 14644-9 «Classification of Surface Particle Cleanliness». 89.222.152.170 (talk) 17:13, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

What About Medical Cleanrooms?

Perhaps the search "Cleanroom" should direct to a disambiguation page, with a link to this article, and the article on medical isolation rooms, as some hospitals call their isolation rooms "cleanrooms"96.230.195.138 (talk) 22:20, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Is there an estimate of the number of clean rooms (per standard) in the world? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fulldecent (talk • contribs) 15:02, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
