5.0µm should be zero according to ISO/DIS 14644-1.2 Table 1 notes;

d) Sampling and statistical limitations for particles in low concentrations make classification inappropriate
e) ... Greater than 1 micron particles make classification at this particle size inappropriate due to potential particle losses in sampling system
f) Specify particle size in association with ISO Class 5, the marcoparticle discriptor M may be adapted.
