Cleanroom Materials Flammability Test Protocol (Class 4910)
As computer chips get smaller and faster, the manufacturing process required to create them gets more
and more complex—even the slightest delay in production can mean millions of dollars in lost revenue. One
of the major causes of delay in the chip manufacturing process is contamination. Contamination from a
fire, no matter how small, could potentially put a chip maker out of business for weeks, if not permanently.
In the past, cleanrooms and wet benches needed to be protected by sprinklers or more expensive special
fire-protection systems. But, by the time a cleanroom fire propagated and triggered a sprinkler or special
fire protection system, damage could already have occurred in the rest of the cleanroom. Driven by rising
insurance costs and potential lost earnings, chip makers are requiring suppliers to use materials in wet-bench
fabrication that are less flammable and therefore don't need additional—and costly—fire protection systems
installed. The Cleanroom Materials Flammability Test Protocol (Class 4910) contains the method for conduct-
ing tests. Now, wet-bench manufacturers and users can apply the cleanroom protocol to develop plastic materials and equipment capable of resisting fire,
emitting little, if any smoke, and producing little, if any, corrosive by-products. Materials passing the cleanroom protocol, subsequently, can be listed in the
Approval Guide, a publication of FM Approvals.
