(OP)
Does exist any exact guide to define air exchange rate in cleanrooms (pharmacy)? Where can I find ISO 14644-3?

RE: air exchange rate in cleanrooms
Check out this site: http://www.icbo.org/index.html. Also: the ACH is really for the benefit of the human occupants; not necessarily the pharmaceuticals being processed; and a consevative ASHRAE guideline is 6 ACH.
What you ought to be looking at is the filtration efficiency in microns and comparing that to the pharmaceutical manufacturer's limits on contamination. Is just one pharmaceutical being processed or many of different types? Cross-contamination could be an issue in the case of many products being processed simultaneously; whereas if jus one is being processed, it might be a moot point.
