Cleanroom Validation

Cleanrooms play a critical role in numerous industries, from pharmaceuticals and biotechnology to electronics and aerospace. These controlled environments are designed to minimize airborne contamination and ensure product integrity, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards. However, maintaining the desired level of cleanliness is an ongoing challenge. That’s where Cleanroom Validation becomes paramount.

Cleanroom Validation is a comprehensive process that verifies the performance and effectiveness of your cleanroom facility. It involves a series of tests, measurements, and assessments to confirm that your cleanroom meets the stringent requirements set forth by international standards, such as ISO 14644-1. By performing regular cleanroom validation, you can:

Product Safety

Cleanroom validation ensures that the quality of your products remains uncompromised by verifying the cleanliness of the environment where they are manufactured, packaged, or stored. This minimizes the risk of contamination-related defects and protects your brand reputation.

Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory bodies, such as the FDA, MHRA, and EMA, mandate cleanroom validation for industries like pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and biotechnology. By adhering to these regulations, you demonstrate your commitment to safety, efficacy, and compliance.

Operational Efficiency

Cleanroom validation identifies areas of improvement within your facility, allowing you to optimize your processes and minimize operational disruptions. By addressing potential issues proactively, you can enhance productivity, reduce downtime, and maximize resource utilization.

Employee Safety

Cleanrooms often handle hazardous materials, and maintaining a safe working environment is crucial for your employees. Regular validation provides assurance that appropriate control measures are in place to protect personnel from airborne contaminants and other occupational hazards.

Alpha Linear performs cleanroom validation as per ISO 14644-1

Airborne Particle Count Test

This test measures the concentration and size distribution of airborne particles in the cleanroom. It determines compliance with specified cleanliness classes, ensuring that the air quality meets the required standards.

Airflow Velocity Test

By measuring and evaluating the airflow patterns, this test ensures proper air circulation within the cleanroom. It verifies that airflows are directed appropriately to prevent the buildup and spread of contaminants.

Air Pressure Differential Test

This test assesses the pressure differentials between adjacent areas within the cleanroom. It ensures that air flows from clean to less clean areas, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.

Filter Integrity Test

The filter integrity test confirms the effectiveness of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. It checks for leaks and ensures that the filters are performing optimally in removing contaminants from the air.

Recovery Test

This test assesses the cleanroom’s ability to return to its desired cleanliness level after a disturbance. It verifies the efficiency of the cleanroom’s recovery mechanisms, allowing you to assess its resilience to potential disruptions.

Containment Leak Test

This test evaluates the integrity of the cleanroom’s physical barriers, such as walls, ceilings, doors, and windows. It ensures that there are no leaks or breaches that could allow contaminants to enter or escape the cleanroom.
