Iso 146443pdf 2021 -
– The new edition updated the recommended apparatus and documentation requirements for smoke studies, recognizing advances in fog generation technology.
Many national bodies adopted the corrected version of ISO 14644-3:2019 as their own national standard in 2020 and 2021. For example: iso 146443pdf 2021

| Aspect | ISO 14644-3:2005 (Old Version) | ISO 14644-3:2019 (New Version) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Used term "optional tests" for many supporting procedures. | Renamed them "supporting tests" to emphasize their importance | | Airflow Visualization | Primarily focused on static airflow pattern testing. | Requires both static (basic pattern) and dynamic (simulating actual operations) testing | | Filter Leak Test – Upstream Concentration | Required upstream concentration of 10 mg/m³ to 100 mg/m³ for photometer testing. | Expanded to 1 mg/m³ to 100 mg/m³, acknowledging that not all photometers are suitable at the lower level | | Filter Leak Test – Acceptance Criteria | Uniform acceptance criteria of ≤0.01% for all HEPA filters. | Introduces differentiated criteria: ≤0.01% remains, but adds ≤0.1% for filters with MPPS efficiency 99.95% to 99.995% | | Filter Leak Test – Scan Speed | Scan speed not explicitly specified. | Specifies scan speed of 5 cm/s to improve detection efficiency and testing productivity | | Recovery Test | Did not specifically advise against testing in unidirectional flow rooms. | Explicitly advises against performing recovery tests in unidirectional airflow cleanrooms | | Segregation Test | Not included. | Added as a completely new test method to evaluate the effectiveness of segregation devices or barriers | | Electrostatic & Ion Generator Tests | Less detailed guidance. | Expanded and refined to support industries where electrostatic discharge (ESD) control is critical (e.g., electronics manufacturing) |
