  • In order to prevente abuses, the reservation system has some internal limits: a) minimum reservation time, one session (1hr or 2hr, depending on the equipment) b) maximum anticipation of the reserves, one week and c) minimum anticipation of the reserves, 24hr.
  • It is possible to make reservations inside the clean room using the computer by the exit.

4.- The maximum reservation time depends on the facility. For systems under lower demands this time will be 9hr(an entire day), while for the most demanded equipment, a reservation cannot exceed 4hr.

5.- When no further reservations exist, any user may extend the usage time, always within the room opening hours and with no interfering with other users.
