Aligning Microbial Monitoring with Global Standards: What You Need to Know
In the world of cleanroom contamination control, staying aligned with evolving standards is essential. The European standard EN ISO 17141:2020 has replaced ISO 14698-1/2:2003 within the EU, introducing clearer guidance on biocontamination control and the performance criteria for volumetric air samplers. But globally, ISO 14698 remains valid—making it critical for manufacturers to understand how both standards apply.
This technical paper from Particle Measuring Systems breaks down the harmonization between EN ISO 17141 and ISO 14698 and shows how PMS microbial instruments like the MiniCapt® and BioCapt® meet the physical and biological efficiency requirements of both. It also explains how simplified validation methods allow new instruments to be benchmarked against established ones—streamlining compliance without compromising accuracy.
Whether you’re updating your environmental monitoring strategy or validating new equipment, this paper offers practical insights to help you meet regulatory expectations with confidence.
