3、ies special items of clothing(cleanroom garments) designed to protect aerospace productsfrom electrostatic discharge and from contaminants released bypersonnel and garments. Special clothing includes low lintingcoveralls, footwear, and head covers.1.2 The function of cleanroom garments is to contain

4、 thecontaminants generated by people and to minimize contami-nants from the garments.1.3 Two types of fabrics can be selected for the garments.Both types are inherently static-dissipative materials to preventelectrical discharges that can damage sensitive hardware orinitiate explosions in the presen

Thematerial specified for “hazardous environments” is flameresistant and provides additional protection to the wearer.Selection of garment design and fabric should be based on theusers needs with respect to functional and environmentalrequirements.1.4 Additional background in
