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

The ISO Class 8 condition applies to data center environments only. This air filtration requirement does not apply to IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center. For example, the requirement does not apply in environments such as an office or factory floor.

Air entering the data center must have MERV11 or MERV13 filtration.
Conductive dust Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive particles.

This condition applies to data center and nondata center environments.
Corrosive dust Air must be free of corrosive dust.

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

This condition applies to data center and nondata center environments.
