Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology Membership

Charles [Chuck] Osborn who serves as business manager of our Precision Cleaning group was recently accepted as a member of the working group that governs

IEST–STD-CC1246D: Product Cleanliness Levels and Contamination Control Program.  

Working Group Members determine through cooperative effort, what issues will be addressed in each Recommended Practice and what procedures will be included.

The Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology [IEST] is an international not-for-profit technical society of engineers, scientists and educators that serves its members and the industries they represent (simulating, testing, controlling, and teaching the environments of earth and space) through education and the development of recommended practices and standards.

IEST-STD-CC1246D replaces MIL-STD-1246C for all new manufacture. 

MIL-STD-1246 was one of the military’s main Cleanliness Standards from its inception during  the Second World War till 1997 when the U.S. Army commissioned the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology to revise and adapt this military standard as an industry standard, since its usefulness today extends far beyond military applications.
