The Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) is a multidisciplinary, international society whose members are internationally recognized for their contributions to the environmental sciences in the areas of contamination control in electronics manufacturing and pharmaceutical processes.
The Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST), a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit technical society, is the foremost organization addressing issues connected with contamination control. IEST is an ANSI-accredited standards-developing organization; Secretariat of ISO/TC 209 Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments; Administrator of the ANSI-accredited US TAG to ISO/TC 209; and a founding member of the ANSI-accredited US TAG to ISO/TC 229 Nanotechnologies. IEST has instituted a program of standards and practices in order to publish and disseminate up-to-date, reliable, technical information within each of its divisions. This is accomplished through a series of Recommended Practices (RPs) providing standardized procedures based upon peer-approved applications of environmental technology. IEST has revised such Federal Standards as FED-STD-209 and MIL-STD-1246 (now IEST-STD-1246D).
