MB/NC1 / Line number / Clause/ Subclause / Paragraph/ Figure/ Table/ / Type of comment2 / Comments / Proposed change / Observations of the secretariat
BV / 2 / ED / ISO 4406 should be listed, as 6.2.2.5 refers to cleanliness codes (defined in 4406). / Add ISO 4406 to normative references
3 / TE / A general definition for a field contamination monitor is lacking, as is a definition of one that uses the light extinction technique. I believe these were to be included in the revision to ISO 21018-1, but the NWIP was withdrawn until the ISO 11171 revision is completed. / Add definition of field contamination monitor that uses light extinction technique based on the previous committee decision to define a Field Contamination Monitors (FCM) as”
“An in-situ instrument used on an operating system that:
a. senses particles in a controlled volume
b. counts, sorts or compiles particles into size ranges
c. reports particle size distribution and/or contamination class code
d. does not necessarily facilitate instrument calibration in accordance with ISO 11171”
6.2.2.5 / ED / “codes” is not defined in the document. Strictly speaking, if ISO Codes are used, only sizes of 4, 6 and 14 µm(c) should be used, unless the instructions indicate that the same code scale is to be used for other sizes. / Insert “ISO 4406 cleanliness” between the words “successive” and “codes”.
6.3.2.7 / ED / “codes” is not defined in the document / Insert “ISO 4406 cleanliness” between the words “successive” and “codes”.
6.4.2.7 / ED / “codes” is not defined in the document / Insert “ISO 4406 cleanliness” between the words “successive” and “codes”.
6.5.2.6 / ED / Previously, reference was to “cleanliness code” but here it is to “contamination code” / Use “contamination code” or “cleanliness code” consistently throughout. ISO Code reports the cleanliness level of fluids based on their solid particulate contamination concentrations
8 / Table 2 / ED / Previously, reference was to “cleanliness code” but here it is to “contamination code” / Use “contamination code” or “cleanliness code” consistently throughout. ISO Code reports the cleanliness level of fluids based on their solid particulate contamination concentrations
8 / Table 2 / ED / Sizes of 6, 10 and 14 µm(c) are given, but ISO Code sizes are 4, 6, and 14 µm(c). Previous drafts used the ISO Code sizes. / Change sizes in columns 2-4 to 4, 6, and 14 µm(c).
8 / Table 3 / ED / Previously, reference was to “cleanliness code” but here it is to “contamination code” / Use “contamination code” or “cleanliness code” consistently throughout. ISO Code reports the cleanliness level of fluids based on their solid particulate contamination concentrations
8 / Table 3 / ED / Sizes of 6, 10 and 14 µm(c) are given, but ISO Code sizes are 4, 6, and 14 µm(c). Previous drafts used the ISO Code sizes. / Change sizes in columns 2-4 to 4, 6, and 14 µm(c).
9 / Table 3 / ED / Previously, reference was to “cleanliness code” but here it is to “contamination code” / Use “contamination code” or “cleanliness code” consistently throughout. ISO Code reports the cleanliness level of fluids based on their solid particulate contamination concentrations
