Technical Cleanliness
Evaluation and assurance of technical cleanliness in accordance with VDA 19.1, ISO 16232, as well as OEM and customer-specific factory standards.
What does technical cleanliness mean?
Technical cleanliness describes the control and evaluation of particulate contamination on components, assemblies, and technical systems.
Even the smallest particles can impair the function, reliability, and service life of sensitive components, leading to increased wear,
malfunctions, or failures.
Requirements for technical cleanliness are continuously increasing, particularly in the automotive, electromobility, mechanical engineering, and medical technology sectors.

Technical cleanliness in practice
Technical cleanliness is an essential component of modern quality standards.
Particulate contamination can significantly impair function,
especially in high-precision components, electric drives, battery systems, and fluid circuits.
Systematic cleanliness testing allows potential risks to be identified early and appropriate measures for process optimization to be implemented.
