There is no guide. The validation process would depend on what you are cleaning. Electronic circuit cards to remove flux residues or metal part to remove oils. It isn't just the equipment that needs to be evaluated, but also the chemistry.

Hi, We are going to change our cleaning equipment and I would like to know if there is a guide -or what tests can be carried out- to validate a new cleaning equipment. We are using rosin fluxes for Class 3 products. Thank you in advance for your help. Juan T.
