    The document outlines the engineering specifications for positive- and negative-pressure rooms. Positive pressure rooms maintain a pressure differential of at least +2.5 Pa to prevent contaminated air from leaving the room. They require an air change rate of at least 12 per hour and 99.97% efficient HEPA filtration of supply air. Negative pressure rooms maintain a pressure differential of at least -2.5 Pa to prevent contaminated air from entering the room or building. They also require an air change rate of at least 12 per hour and 90% efficient filtration of supply air.
