Particulate contamination Specications
Air ltration Data center air ltration as dened by ISO Class 8 per ISO 14644-1 with a
95% upper condence limit.
NOTE: The ISO Class 8 condition applies to data center
environments only. This air ltration requirement does not apply to
IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center, in
environments such as an oce or factory oor.
NOTE: Air entering the data center must have MERV11 or MERV13
ltration.
Conductive dust Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive
particles.
NOTE: This condition applies to data center and non-data center
environments.
Corrosive dust
• Air must be free of corrosive dust.
• Residual dust present in the air must have a deliquescent point less than
60% relative humidity.
NOTE: This condition applies to data center and non-data center
environments.

Gaseous contamination Specications
Copper coupon corrosion rate <300 Å/month per Class G1 as dened by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013.
Silver coupon corrosion rate <200 Å/month as dened by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013.
NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
