Contamination control during the product life cycle 6.1 General design provisions Contamination control activities during the design phase shall take into account the following points: selection of materials, mechanical parts and processes, cleaning aptitude of materials and mechanical parts, acquisition of outgassing data of organic materials, volume or quantity of each material used, application and location of materials, vent path or hole of outgassing, measurement of contamination, deployable aperture covers, flash-off heaters on passive radiative coolers, mirrors and detectors, covers over passive radiative coolers, in-bay purging (on-ground and at the launch), verification of the compatibility of the surface treatment with the cleanliness level, identification of the protection equipment, ground support equipment, and detailed design provisions for specific types of mission are addressed in 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8. 6.2 Manufacturing, integration and test 6.2.1 Manufacturing All elements manufactured in non-clean areas or under non-clean conditions shall be the object of a cleaning process until the required cleanliness level is achieved, before they are packaged for delivery. All materials and processes used shall conform to PMP requirements. ECSS-Q-70-01A 11 December 2002 c. Cleaning and packaging operations for all elements shall be processed according to applicable and validated procedures. Two cases can be identified: Elements that can be cleaned after manufacturing These elements shall be cleaned so as to guarantee the required cleanliness level. For a given initial pollution, the cleaning procedure is validated if it allows to guarantee that both particulate and molecular contamination are within specified levels. Elements that cannot be cleaned after manufacturing Manufacturing and assembling areas for these different elements shall meet the required cleanliness level specifications. In this case the manufacturing process shall be considered in the CCCP,
