Ensuring the cleanliness and reliability of critical components in a dedicated materials laboratory

The CPW 10 guideline defines strict requirements for surface cleanliness, contamination control, and monitoring, particularly for critical components and systems used in aerospace, defense, electronics, and optronics.

Controlling surface contamination is a major challenge, as even invisible contamination can lead to functional defects, performance loss, or premature equipment failure.

FILAB supports manufacturers in implementing analyses that comply with the requirements of guideline CPW 10, according to the needs and standards defined by their programs.

The CPW 10 guideline is designed for a demanding industrial context:

  • Very tight tolerances for surface contamination
  • Increased sensitivity of electronic, optronic, and mechanical systems
