ISO 8573 1 Compressed Air Quality Standard 1

The document discusses ISO 8573-1:2010 compressed air quality standard specifications. It explains how to write an air quality specification referencing the ISO standard and selecting purity classes for particulate, water and oil contaminants. It also describes what Class 0 specification means and notes that stating Class 0 without an agreed specification is meaningless and not in accordance with the standard.
