Technical Cleanliness Analysis – Industry
Applications in industry
For the execution of our Technical Cleanliness tests, carried out in accordance with VDA 19.1, ISO 16232, VDI 2083, and other specific standards, we apply a range of analytical techniques. These include, among others, optical microscopy for particle counting and classification, scanning electron microscopy (SEM‑EDX) for the characterization of inorganic particles, and FT‑IR spectroscopy for the identification of organic compounds.
This combination provides a comprehensive characterization of the particulate material, delivering precise and reliable information aligned with the requirements of highly demanding sectors. Altogether, it enables process optimization, identification of contamination sources, and faster decision‑making, resulting in improved product quality, more effective process control, and robust support for approvals and audits.
Application and objective
Technical cleanliness testing is applicable to any industrial sector, particularly when components are subject to strict cleanliness‑grade specifications. Its purpose is to verify the level of residual particulate contamination, support the qualification of initial samples, and provide key information for risk assessment and for driving continuous improvement of the production process.

Customer standards
In some cases, the client has its own standards or specifications that complement or extend the testing procedures. We adapt to these specifications efficiently, integrating them into the test plan to ensure that each assessment is carried out accurately and consistently. This approach guarantees results that are fully aligned with the client’s processes, expectations, and quality requirements.
