ISO 14644-4 Airflow Velocity Profiling in Cleanrooms
The ISO 14644 series of standards provides a framework for ensuring that cleanroom environments meet the required air quality specifications. Among these, ISO 14644-4:2019 focuses specifically on airflow velocity profiling, which is critical for maintaining proper air distribution and preventing contamination in cleanrooms.
The purpose of this service is to ensure that the airflow within a cleanroom environment adheres strictly to the specified parameters outlined by ISO 14644-4. In many industries—such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics manufacturing, and medical device production—the cleanliness of the air can directly impact product quality and safety.
Our team uses precision instruments and calibrated equipment to conduct detailed velocity profiling across various points within the cleanroom. This process involves measuring airflow velocities at specific heights and locations, ensuring that the flow rates are consistent with the design specifications and regulatory requirements.
To achieve accurate results, we employ a multi-step approach:
- Initial setup of cleanroom parameters according to ISO 14644-1
- Placement of sensors at strategic points within the cleanroom
- Data collection using advanced airflow measurement equipment
- Analysis and interpretation of collected data
- Reporting results in compliance with ISO standards
The outcome of this testing ensures that the cleanroom environment is optimized for its intended use, thereby safeguarding product integrity and patient safety.
