Discovering Clean Room Testing Services
Clean Room Testing Services: Ensuring Compliance
Cleanrooms are essential for safeguarding sensitive production environments, from nanotechnology and pharmaceuticals to aerospace and automotive manufacturing. To keep these controlled spaces performing as designed, a well-planned testing, certification, and maintenance programme is critical.
At APT Cleanroom Testing, we specialise in validating and certifying all types of cleanrooms, ensuring they meet operational objectives and regulatory standards.
Comprehensive Cleanroom Testing Services
We provide a full suite of cleanroom performance tests, covering everything from airborne particulate monitoring to airflow characterisation and environmental checks. Our services include:
Core Cleanroom Tests
- Non-viable particulate monitoring
- Airflow volume and velocity profiling
- Air exchange rate calculations
- HEPA filter integrity testing
- Differential room pressure monitoring
- Temperature and humidity monitoring
Using advanced smoke survey equipment, we also conduct detailed airflow visualisation tests to verify directional airflow and identify potential problem areas. To ensure cleanroom integrity, we perform air-tightness testing to detect leakage paths within the cleanroom envelope.
Accuracy, Documentation, and Minimal Downtime
Our expertise, coupled with a strong commitment to quality and customer service, ensures accurate, reliable test results with comprehensive documentation. We understand that cleanrooms are critical business assets, so we work efficiently to minimise downtime.
Following testing or full cleanroom validation, we provide a clear, structured report, often compiled and quality-checked while still on site. We take the time to walk you through your results, ensuring transparency and understanding at every stage.
All clients receive:
- Full test certificates
- Calibration certificates for all equipment used
- Professional recommendations for performance or efficiency improvements
Particulate Testing and ISO Standards Compliance
APT Clean Room Testing engineers are trained to deliver validation services in line with the latest ISO standards and industry guidelines. Our meticulous approach, customer focus, and UKAS accreditation provide assurance that your facility meets all external calibration and compliance requirements.
ISO 14644-1:2015 – What’s Changed?
The revised ISO 14644-1:2015 standard introduced significant updates to cleanroom sampling procedures and data evaluation. Key changes include:
- A more consistent, statistically valid method for determining sampling locations
- Individual evaluation of each sampling point
- A requirement ensuring, with 95% confidence, that 90% of the cleanroom area complies with particle concentration limits
These updates may require organisations to revise their validation plans and, in some cases, make changes to their cleanroom design or operation to maintain compliance.
