HI,
In general, disposable PPE should be manufactured in a “clean” working environment for preventing it from contamination.
I would like to know whether any international standards (such as ISO,EN, ASTM, AS, CAS etc.) are related to PPE items should be maintained at “hygiene” level.Yours sincerely,

Hi Sony
I am not exactly sure what you are asking here. Do you want to know about storage conditions of PPE within a facility?
Thanks

Dear Michael,
The issue of maintaining microbial cleanliness (bioburden) is addressed in the BS EN14683:2014, point 5.2.5, and 5.2.7 [page 7-8], and the recommended microbial cleanliness (cfu/g) is < 30, for details, please refer to attached file.
We would like to know whether other disposable PPE, for example disposable gown (NOT sterile), N95 respirator, coverall suit need to follow such requirement, if so, of the details.
Regards,
Sony SO
