Kaeser Air Compressor Guide 3 Global Standards ISO 8573.1 was developed in 1991 by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) to help facility engineers specify compressed air quality globally with “Quality Classes” for solid particulates, humidity and oil. Quality classes provide an internationally accepted unit of measure. A typical pharmaceutical plant, for example, would have a compressed air specification of ISO Quality Class 1.2.1. This is equivalent to 0.01 micron particulate filtration, -40° F (-40°C) dew point, and 0.008 ppm (0.01 mg/m3) oil filtration. Quality Classes 0...
