[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column el_class=”full_width_responsive dg-padding-none”][vc_column_text css=””]VSL\u2019s 3D-CMM measurement facility is now officially certified according to ISO 14644-1 and meets the exacting requirements for ISO Class 7 air cleanliness. This milestone demonstrates VSL\u2019s ongoing commitment to measurement excellence and offers substantial value to clients in high-tech sectors such as semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and medical devices.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

The Importance of Cleanroom Certification<\/h2>\n

For many years, VSL has operated in an environment designed to minimize airborne particulate contamination and improve the reliability of calibration results. The new certification, confirmed through a comprehensive validation report by ProCleanroom, provides formal evidence that VSL\u2019s facility meets internationally recognized standards for cleanroom operation. This is especially critical for industries where even microscopic contaminants can affect product quality or measurement accuracy.<\/p>\n

The validation process included thorough testing of airborne particles in the cleanroom. Results fell well within the ISO Class 7 limits for particle counts at 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 micron sizes. This process required strict monitoring, regular maintenance, adherence to cleanroom garment protocols, and specialized cleaning regimens to maintain the required environment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Supporting the Dutch High-Tech Industry<\/h2>\n

Metrology, the science of measurement, is essential for innovation and quality in every industry. As the national metrology institute of the Netherlands, VSL helps organizations maintain trust in their measurements by providing results that are both reliable and traceable. In sectors such as semiconductors, where tolerances are measured at the nanometer scale, a certified cleanroom provides an essential foundation for accurate work. Even small amounts of airborne contamination can impact results, disrupt processes, or lower product yields.<\/p>\n

With ISO Class 7 certification, VSL can better meet the needs of companies at the forefront of technology. The facility enables advanced instrument calibration and complex dimensional measurements in a controlled environment. Clients receive results that are accurate, repeatable, and traceable to international standards.<\/p>\n

A Foundation of Trust and Quality<\/h2>\n

VSL\u2019s cleanroom certification supports the institute\u2019s broader mission and long-term strategy, using reliable measurements to support fair trade, industrial competitiveness, scientific research, and public health. The cleanroom certification is particularly significant for the semiconductor industry. The Netherlands excels globally in this sector. VSL\u2019s expertise in nanometrology and its capacity for contamination-free calibrations enable Dutch companies to compete at the highest level. The benefits also extend to aerospace, medical devices, and any industry that depends on precision and compliance with regulations.<\/p>\n
