Connect 2 Cleanrooms Information
Following the installation of any cleanroom and prior to completion a validation process is carried out as outlined within the international standard ISO14644. This standard determines the level required against results achieved.
The fundamental aspect of any cleanroom is to demonstrate that the cleanroom is achieving the requirements of our customer. To do this an understanding of the cleanroom definition is required. This definition is clearly identified within the above standard but is summarised as:
"Cleanroom - Room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled, and which is constructed and used in a manner to minimize the introduction, generation and retention of particles inside the room." Ref: International standard ISO14644-1 first edition 1999-05-01
Following the validation and commissioning process additional monitoring may be necessary to demonstrate the room is achieving the desired level through its use. As a part of our service your on going support is supplied by our own validation and testing engineers. We recommend the required visits with the appropriate monitoring. The parameters that can be monitored include, Particle counts, Air changes, Filter testing, temperature, Humidity, Light LUX levels and Pressure gauge accuracy.
