ISO 14644 Cleanroom Standards Compliance Testing

ISO 14644 Cleanroom Standards Compliance Testing

ISO 14644 Cleanroom Standards Compliance Testing

The ISO 14644 series of standards is an internationally recognized framework designed to ensure that cleanrooms and associated controlled environments are operated effectively. This service focuses on the comprehensive testing required to comply with these standards, ensuring that facilities meet strict cleanliness levels essential for industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing.

Compliance with ISO 14644 is crucial because it directly impacts product quality, regulatory compliance, and ultimately, patient safety in the healthcare sector. Cleanrooms are used to protect products from contamination by airborne particles, which could lead to defects or even failure of the product. By adhering to these standards, manufacturers can ensure that their production environments meet stringent cleanliness criteria.

The process begins with initial assessments of the facility's design and layout to identify potential areas for improvement in airflow management, HVAC systems, and filtration efficiency. Following this, we conduct detailed testing according to ISO 14644-1 (2019) which covers the classification of air cleanliness in cleanrooms and associated controlled environments.

Our team uses advanced particle counters and laser diffraction analyzers to measure particulate matter down to submicron levels. These instruments are calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy, and our technicians have extensive experience interpreting results against industry benchmarks. Once the initial classification has been established, ongoing monitoring ensures that the facility remains compliant over time.

In addition to particle counting, we also perform environmental testing for temperature, humidity, pressure differentials, and other parameters relevant to maintaining a controlled environment. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to provide precise measurements across all specified ranges, ensuring accuracy even under varying conditions inside the cleanroom.

After completing our tests, we produce detailed reports outlining our findings alongside recommendations for any necessary corrective actions. These documents serve as proof of compliance with ISO 14644 standards and can be submitted to relevant regulatory bodies if required by law or internal policy.
