Particulate Contamination

NOTE: This section defines the limits to help avoid IT equipment damage and/or failure from particulates and gaseous contamination. If it is determined that levels of particulates or gaseous pollution are beyond the limits specified below and are the reason for the damage and/or failures to your equipment it may be necessary for you to remediate the environmental conditions that are causing the damage and/or failures. Remediation of environmental conditions will be the responsibility of the customer.

Air Filtration

NOTE: Applies to data center environments only. Air filtration requirements do not apply to IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center, in environments such as an office or factory floor.

Data center air filtration as defined by ISO Class 8 per ISO 14644-1 with a 95% upper confidence limit.

NOTE: Air entering the data center must have MERV11 or MERV13 filtration.

Conductive Dust	Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or
NOTE: Applies to data center and	other conductive particles.
NOTE: Applies to data center and
non-data center environments.

Corrosive Dust

NOTE: Applies to data center and non-data center environments.

Gaseous Contamination

•Air must be free of corrosive dust.

•Residual dust present in the air must have a deliquescent point less than 60% relative humidity.

NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity

Copper Coupon Corrosion Rate	<300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/
	ISA71.04-1985.
Silver Coupon Corrosion Rate	<200 Å/month as defined by AHSRAE TC9.9.
