ISO 14698:2003 establishes the principles and basic methodology of a formal system of biocontamination control (Formal System) for assessing and controlling biocontamination when cleanroom technology is applied for that purpose. It specifies the methods required for monitoring risk zones in a consistent way and for applying control measures appropriate to the degree of risk involved. In zones where risk is low, it can be used for information.
