The airtightness of clean rooms – the new VDI 2083/19

Purpose of the work

Presentation of the newly created standard VDI 2083/19 (VDI is the Association of German Engineers) for airtightness tests of clean rooms.

Content of the contribution

It has been ten years since the publication of a draft proposal, and now, many hundred measurements without a binding standard for such a sensitive area later, the day has finally come. We have a standard dealing exclusively with the airtightness of clean rooms.

The presentation shows the way to the new VDI 2083/19 and introduces the standard. It particularly highlights its application during measurements and leakage detection. It also looks at the different classes of clean rooms and their significance when it comes to the values to be observed. Further topics are its implementation on site and the scope of application of the standard, e.g. in the medical field or in rooms for the production of sensitive products.
