Reduce Risk of Contamination

Contamination control is easier than detection because you cannot test for every impurity. Even if a product does not come in direct contact with the cleanroom environment, it is still influenced by it. Convection and circulating air can carry particulates and microbes, while handling can transfer residue. Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the environment minimizes the potential for contaminants to adversely affect product quality.

“Plan, Do, Check” to reduce risk of contamination

  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are written protocols put in place to ensure that steps towards minimising contamination are being followed. Because SOPs define the level of facility cleanliness, cleaners are trained to understand and adhere to them precisely.
  • Schedules dictate how often a specific cleaning procedure is performed. Cleanroom services are available on a routine, periodic or project basis.
  • Cleaning involves the execution of an SOP to a defined schedule. Using professionally trained technical cleaners guarantees a more uniform result by reducing cleaner-to-cleaner variability.
  • Validation confirms that cleaning procedures are effective. Reviews validation tests and uses this information for continuous improvement.
  • Compliance is the fulfilment of every procedural and documentary requirement. Cleaners perform their duties according to the SOPs then complete all checklists and log books to maintain your certification.
  • Periodic auditing guarantees all processes produce the required results. Cleaners undergo routine performance checks in areas such as cleaning technique, chemical and equipment use, knowledge base and documentation skills.
