Why Validate Your Cleanroom?
The cleanroom validation procedure is documented evidence that proves a system will produce a product that meets all specifications and standards. Each cleanroom needs to meet a certain amount of class standards, set by The National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB), to be considered compliant and qualified for use. The facility using the system is solely responsible for validation. While it is common for a facility to contract an outside firm to perform this complex service, it is still the facility’s obligation to approve protocols and execute testing.
Validation is FDA-mandated for the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device, and food manufacturing industries. Although cleanroom certification is required, there are many reasons to have your cleanroom certified.
The cleanroom validation procedure ensures that the facility, equipment and environment:
- Are fit for the cleanroom’s intended purpose
- Meet User Requirement Specifications (URS)
- Meet defined regulatory requirements
- Function together as a system to meet standards
Primary Cleanroom Tests
Tests are recommended for all cleanrooms:
- ISO 14644-1 particle counts
- Velocities & air volume
