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

center environments.
Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc
whiskers, or other conductive particles.
Corrosive Dust
NOTE: Applies to data center and non-data
center environments.
• Air must be free of corrosive dust.
• Residual dust present in the air must have a
deliquescent point less than 60% relative
humidity.
Gaseous Contamination
NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
Copper Coupon Corrosion Rate <300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/
