Cleanliness analysis as per ISO 16232
ISO 16232 and VDA 19 define the standards to ensure quality and reliability of the components for automotive sector and its suppliers. In this example, one membrane filter sample was submitted for particulate contamination determination and identification according to ISO 16232.
