Clean Earth System

Hi everyone,

I received earthing system design for  the high rise building. Earthing system  single line diagram shows main earthing system and  separate earthing network as clean earth . In every IDF rooms (Telecom Room) there are earth bar and earth bars connected each other for every floors every IDF rooms and its connected in the end to the  main clean earth bar in the main telecom room and main clean earth bar connected to the separate earth pits with earth electrodes. There are main earthing system as well but there is no connection between the main earthing system and clean earth. Earth pits ,earth electrodes,earth bars are all separate .The thing is telecommunication rack fed by the industrial socket inside the IDF Room  and this sockets fed by UDB(UPS DB) in electrical room. UDB connected to the main earthing system within the earth bar inside the electrical room .Telecommunication rack cabinet body connected to the clean earth bar inside the IDF room. So after all separations between main earth and clean earth , they are connected through rack cabinet bonding. My question is what is the purpose  of the "clean earth " provided in this design . And what I tried to explain above is correct practice?
