ZVEI Guideline for Technical Cleanliness

Electronics Industry Association ZVEI publishes the Guideline for Technical Cleanliness in electrical engineering, which addresses cleanliness testing according to VDA 19.1 and the questions involved in planning and optimizing production areas relevant to cleanliness according to VDA 19.2 from the perspective of the production of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical components as well as printed circuits and electronic component assemblies.
