Optimize your space and increase productivity with a properly laid-out cleanroom design. Creating a cleanroom that is productive and efficient requires a large amount of planning. The purpose of the cleanroom you are designing, the number of people working in the area, and the best way to make the most of your space are essential aspects in creating a highly functional cleanroom.

ISO 8 cleanroom design requires the understanding of several methodologies and procedures that evaluate airborne contamination levels including ISO 14644-1 to ISO 14644-8, ISO 14698-1, and ISO 14698-2.

Planning a cleanroom can be an overwhelming task! From site selection to calculating airflow changes and MEP requirements to clash coordination and onsite execution, there are no minor details. To hit your key dates for turnover and validation, your team needs to have an organized plan from the beginning. Below you will find helpful considerations, tips, and guides for designing and building your next cleanroom project.

Cleanrooms and controlled contamination environments are increasingly being used across many industrial sectors, including the pharmaceutical industry. An important issue is the operating cost associated with cleanroom energy consumption and, consequently, the identification of applicable energy containment measures. This article reviews pharmaceutical cleanroom calculations for non-unidirectional airflow against energy consumption with known sources of contamination and type of air diffusion used. It proposes alternative cases to compare potential economic savings from applying energy-saving measures proposed by ISO 14644-16.1

A Comprehensive Guide to These Essential Environments for High-Precision Manufacturing and Research, Highlighting the Applications, Maintenance and Cleaning Practices

Not all workplaces are the same. Where desks and chairs, office partitions and phone booths are perhaps the most common thing you think of when considering workplaces, there are so many other options. From factories and shops to engineering bays and the driving seat of your own car, places of work come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s important that they are designed for their own unique purpose.  

A cleanroom is a regulated space that is designed to control contamination and aids in the removal of airborne particles. Cleanrooms are necessary for many industries where small particles can affect the manufacturing and quality of a product or assembly. Today, cleanrooms are usually found in industries such as pharmaceuticals, semiconductor, biotech, medical device, life sciences, optics, aerospace, automotive, and military facilities. 

What is a Clean Room? A “Clean Room” is a controlled contamination environment. The purpose of a clean room is to provide a working environment with a limited presence of particles/particulate thanks to a special air filtration system.

A cleanroom is a controlled environment where provisions are made to reduce particulate contamination (along with other environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure) to levels appropriate for accomplishing contamination-sensitive activities.

More than a room that is clean or a controlled environment, according to the ISO standard 14644-1 clean room definition, a clean room is defined as:
