Clean Room Validation services
Cleanroom validation services ensure that a controlled environment meets specified standards for cleanliness, temperature, humidity, and airflow. These services typically involve particle count analysis, airflow assessments, and environmental monitoring to verify compliance with relevant standards such as ISO 14644. Validation also includes documenting results and providing detailed reports to confirm that the cleanroom operates within its designated parameters. This process is crucial for maintaining the integrity of sensitive manufacturing and research activities.

Area Particle Count
Area particle count involves measuring the concentration of airborne particles within a specific area of a cleanroom to ensure it meets cleanliness standards. By placing particle counters at various locations and heights, this process provides a detailed assessment of particle levels, which is crucial for verifying that the cleanroom's cleanliness class complies with standards such as ISO 14644-1. Accurate area particle counting helps maintain a controlled environment and ensures product and process integrity.
HEPA Filter Integrity Test
A HEPA integrity test assesses the effectiveness of HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in capturing airborne contaminants. This test involves introducing a challenge aerosol into the air stream and measuring the particle count downstream of the filter. The results confirm whether the filter is functioning correctly and is free of leaks. Regular HEPA integrity testing ensures that the filter maintains its high efficiency, critical for maintaining cleanroom standards and protecting sensitive processes.
Air Velocity Test
An air velocity test for HEPA filters measures the speed and uniformity of airflow passing through the filter. This test ensures that air is distributed evenly across the filter surface and meets specified velocity requirements. Accurate air velocity testing is crucial for verifying that the HEPA filter operates efficiently, maintains proper air distribution, and effectively captures airborne contaminants. Regular testing helps to ensure consistent cleanroom performance and adherence to cleanliness standards.
ACPH Test
Air change per hour (ACH) measures how many times the total volume of air in a room is replaced with fresh air in one hour. This metric is crucial for maintaining cleanroom standards, ensuring proper ventilation, and controlling contamination levels. Adequate ACH is essential for effective airborne particle removal and maintaining a controlled environment, directly impacting the cleanliness and safety of sensitive processes. Regular monitoring and adjustment help ensure that the cleanroom operates within required specifications.
Air Distribution Visualization
A smoke test evaluates airflow patterns and identifies potential issues like turbulence or air leakage in a cleanroom or controlled environment. By introducing a harmless smoke or aerosol, this test visually tracks air movement and detects areas where airflow might be disrupted or where contaminants could accumulate. Smoke testing is essential for validating ventilation effectiveness, ensuring proper air distribution, and maintaining the integrity of controlled environments.
Differential Pressure Test
A pressure differential test measures the difference in air pressure between different areas or rooms, such as between a cleanroom and its surrounding spaces. This test ensures that the cleanroom maintains a consistent pressure to prevent contamination from external areas. Proper pressure differentials help control airflow direction and maintain cleanroom integrity by keeping contaminants out and ensuring a controlled environment. Regular testing verifies compliance with cleanroom standards and supports operational effectiveness.
Recovery Test
A recovery test assesses how quickly a cleanroom or controlled environment returns to its desired conditions after a disturbance, such as the introduction of particles or a temporary change in airflow. This test measures the time required for the environment to regain its normal particle levels and stability. Effective recovery is crucial for maintaining consistent cleanliness and ensuring that the environment can promptly return to optimal conditions after any disruption.
Clean Room Equipment Validation
Cleanroom equipment validation ensures that equipment used in controlled environments meets required performance and compliance standards. This process involves verifying that equipment operates correctly, consistently, and within specified parameters to maintain the cleanroom’s integrity. It includes testing for functionality, accuracy, and adherence to cleanliness standards, and results are documented to confirm that equipment supports the desired environmental conditions and processes effectively.
