BS EN 16602-70-01:2014

What is BS EN 16602-70-01 - Cleanliness and contamination control about?  

BS EN 16602-70-01 is a European standard that defines: 

• The selection of critical items, the definition of cleanliness requirements to satisfy the mission performance requirements and control the levels to be met by personnel, items, facilities, and operations of space projects 
• The management includes organization, reviews, audits, acceptance status, and documentation control 

BS EN 16602-70-01 covers design, development, production, testing, operation of space products, launch, and mission. 

BS EN 16602-70-01 also outlines guidelines for the identification of possible failures and malfunctions due to contamination and guidelines for achieving and maintaining the required cleanliness levels during ground activities, launches, and missions. 

BS EN 16602-70-01 applies to all types and combinations of projects, organizations, and products, and during all the project phases, except manned missions. 

BS EN 16602-70-01 also applies to those ground systems that have a hardware interface to space systems, such as MGSE integration stands. 

Note1: BS EN 16602-70-01 does not address magnetic, electrical, or electrostatic cleanliness. 

Note2: BS EN 16602-70-01 does not address completely, biocontamination aspects. 

Who is BS EN 16602-70-01 - Cleanliness and contamination control for? 

BS EN 16602-70-01 on cleanliness and contamination control is relevant to: 

• Space project managers 
• System engineers for spacecraft projects 
• Manufacturers of spacecraft products 
• Technical personnel for spacecraft projects 

Why should you use BS EN 16602-70-01 - Cleanliness and contamination control?  

BS EN 16602-70-01 ensures a successful mission by the definition of acceptable contamination levels for space system elements, their achievement, and maintenance, throughout the performance assessment versus contamination, facilities and tools definition for contamination control and monitoring, materials and processes selection and planning of activities. 

BS EN 16602-70-01 provides you with the requirements for the cleanliness and contamination control programme, phases, environment and activities in space missions to enhance the operation of space missions.
