Fda recommends maintaining the minimum 20 air changes per hour for clean rooms.
Iso 8 clean room air changes per hour.
They should be computed by an hvac cleanroom expert as many aspects must be taken into consideration such as the size of.

A class 5 room can have an air change rate of 400 to 600 times per hour while a class 7 room can change at 50 to 60 changes per hour.
Rate of air exchange is expressed as the number of air changes per unit of time and calculated by dividing the volume of air delivered in the unit of time by the volume of the cleanroom or clean zone.

The above suggested air changes per hour are only a design rule of thumb.
If the supply of the air by hvac system in one hour is equal to the volume of the room then it will be one air change per hour.
The ach is the number of total replacements of a room s air in one hour and the iso 14644 1 2015 only tells you the result that you must aim for.
This table details the recommended air changes per hour for iso 14644 1 2015 cleanrooms and their associated gmp grade and federal standard.

The standard iso 14644 1 2015 does not specify the air changes per hour ach for each cleanroom class because it depends on many factors.
As defined by iso 146144 4 standards.

A properly designed clean room must have a high rate of air changes to scrub the room of particulates.
