International Confederation of Contamination Control Societies (ICCCS) is a Non-Profit Organisation For The Promotion Of The Field Of Contamination Control. ICCCS was founded in 1972 in Switzerland during the first ICCCS symposium. ICCCS has a formal liaison status to ISO Technical Committee 209 – which develops the world standards for Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments. ICCCS has a formal liaison status to CEN Technical Committee 243 – which develops the European standards for Cleanroom Technology. This means that ICCCS is involved in the discussions about developed documents and that ICCCS has a formal vote on new work items. Members of the Standing Committee of ICCCS are involved in the technical committees and in the various working groups of the ISO and CEN standards. They follow the development of documents closely. ICCCS coordinates and promotes the publications of the developments of the various documents in all magazines where contamination control is a important issue. ICCCS also requires her member societies to have workshops or small symposia where these new standards can be discussed. It coordinates, when wished, the availability of experts to support these meetings.
