Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) has announced that its M400 smart glasses have received ISO class 2 certification to run in clean room environments.
The company said the certification meant the M400 only emits a maximum of 8 particles of size 0.1 µm and 3 particles of size 0.2 µm in one minute per cubic foot of air.
It will allow the smart glasses to be used within clean room environments typically used by firms in industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, optics, solar, and aerospace and defense.

Vuzix CEO Paul Travers said the certification represented a competitive advantage over other wearable devices not certified as highly.
“Use of our M400 smart glasses within clean rooms will allow operators to send and receive critical process information and improve their workflows without the need for expert technicians to physically be in the clean room to support them, saving time and keeping the number of people in the clean room to a minimum,” Travers said in a statement.
