I agree with Doug, but the particle count in the Class 3 assembly area should be kept relatively low. You do not want a bunch of cardboard boxes, etc, stored in the area or you will have some issues with fibers in the solder.

I would agree with what Gregg has written, but want to stress that you do NOT need a clean room facility to make IPC Class 3. We do almost all class
3 work and the only cleanroom stuff is in our microelectronics assembly rooms. A generally clean workplace suffices for most everything.
