visibly clean

Definition

absence of surface contamination when examined with a specific light source, angle of incidence and viewing distance using normal or magnified vision

Notes

  • NOTE 1 Different inspection methods are available, depending on: a. hardware to be inspected, in term of size and accessibility and sensitivity to contamination b. inspection distance c. light spectra (including UV), intensities and angles
  • NOTE 2 The 'visibly clean' level roughly corresponds to an obscuration factor smaller than 300 mm2/m2 when inspected from a distance of 30 cm to 60 cm with an oblique white light of 540 lx to 1620 lx.
  • NOTE 3 Typical magnification levels range from 2x to 8x.
