A.3 Disturbance of Unidirectional Airflow: ISO 14644-4:2001 (E)

The document discusses minimizing disturbances to unidirectional airflow in cleanrooms. It notes physical obstacles and operating procedures should consider aerodynamic requirements to prevent turbulence near sensitive work. Appropriate measures should be taken to avoid cross-contamination between work stations and flow disturbances.

ISO 14644-4:2001(E)

A.3 Disturbance of unidirectional airflow

In unidirectional airflow cleanrooms, the design of physical obstacles such as the process equipment, and the
operating procedures, personnel movements and product handling, should consider basic aerodynamic
requirements to prevent serious turbulence in the vicinity of the contamination-sensitive activity. Appropriate
measures should be taken to avoid flow disturbances and cross-contamination between different work stations.

Figure A.3 shows the influence of physical obstacles (on the left) and appropriate measures for minimizing the
impact of these (on the right).
