When I was building space payloads, every component had to meet or exceed
a VCM (Volitile Condensible Material) spec.

This was mainly of concern with plastics, like wire insulation (we used
Teflon and Kapton) but especially potting compounds.

And, don't even think about ball bearings near optics in scanners!!
