Rigorous Performance Validation for High-Purity Environments

Achieving and maintaining a controlled environment requires meticulous initial testing and routine recertification. Whether you are commissioning a brand-new cleanroom or fulfilling annual compliance mandates, our certified technicians deliver comprehensive performance testing. We evaluate every critical parameter—from primary filtration integrity and airflow cascades to advanced secondary diagnostic studies—ensuring your facility meets strict ISO 14644, EU GMP, and federal regulatory frameworks.

Core Cleanroom Certification Capabilities

Comprehensive Primary and Secondary Performance Testing

Primary Cleanroom Performance Testing
(Mandatory for ISO Classification)

  • HEPA / ULPA Filter Installation Leak Test (PAO / DOP)

    Scan aerosol-challenged filters and housing frames to detect downstream leaks, bypasses, or media defects, ensuring absolute filtration integrity.

  • Air Flow Velocity & Volumetric Flow Rate Test

    Measure air velocities at terminal filters and calculate total room air exchange rates (ACPH) to verify proper sweep and dilution capacity.

  • Room Differential Pressure Test

    Measure static pressure differentials between cleanrooms and adjacent spaces to ensure proper cascading airflow direction and prevent cross-contamination.

  • Temperature & Relative Humidity (TRH) Test

    Verify that HVAC environmental controls maintain precise temperature and humidity parameters required for product stability and process comfort.

  • Airborne Particle Count Test

    Enumerate viable and non-viable airborne particulate concentrations to classify and certify cleanrooms from ISO Class 3 through ISO Class 8.

  • ESD Floor Conductivity Test

    Measure electrical resistance to ground for static-dissipative and conductive flooring systems to protect sensitive electronics and mitigate explosion risks.

Secondary Cleanroom Performance Testing
(Advanced Diagnostics & Optimization)

  • Lighting Intensity Test

    Verify that working plane illumination meets ergonomic, safety, and industry standard foot-candle requirements.

  • Sound Pressure Level Test

    Measure ambient noise levels generated by HVAC and equipment systems to ensure operator comfort and safety compliance.

  • Airflow Parallelism Test

    Evaluate unidirectional airflow patterns to ensure sweep air travels downward in clean parallel lines without turbulence zones.

  • Smoke Visualization Test (Airflow Pattern Analysis)

    Use high-purity, non-contaminating theatrical smoke to visually demonstrate and record airflow direction, sweep patterns, and dead-air zones.

  • Cleanroom Containment Test

    Test specific containment barriers and air locks to verify air containment effectiveness and prevent migration.

  • Recovery Rate Test

    Measure the time required for a cleanroom to clear a burst of airborne particles back down to its baseline classification state.

Our Cleanroom Certification Process

  1. Phase 1

    Pre-Testing Review & Protocol Development

    Reviewing cleanroom drawings, HVAC specifications, and ISO target classes to establish a customized testing protocol.

  2. Phase 2

    On-Site Data Collection & Field Testing

    Executing comprehensive physical measurements, primary particle counts, pressure differentials, and aerosol filter scans.

  3. Phase 3

    System Balancing & Adjustments (If Required)

    Working alongside mechanical teams to identify minor deviations or airflow imbalances during testing phases.

  4. Phase 4

    Audit-Ready Certification Report

    Delivering a fully documented, ISO-compliant compliance report complete with raw data, instrument traceability certificates, and certification seals.

Frequently Ask Questions

  • What standards do you follow for cleanroom certification?

    Our testing protocols strictly comply with ISO 14644-1/2, IEST recommended practices, EU GMP guidelines, and can be provided under NEBB-certified compliance frameworks depending on your project specifications.

  • Can you provide NEBB-certified testing if our project requires it?

    Yes. While standard testing follows rigorous ISO/IEST guidelines, we can fully provide NEBB-certified testing and documentation upon request to satisfy strict contract or general contractor requirements.

  • What is the difference between primary and secondary performance tests?

    Primary tests are the mandatory baseline requirements needed for ISO classification and audit compliance. Secondary tests provide deeper diagnostic insights into airflow behavior, recovery times, and environmental ergonomics.

  • What documentation is provided upon completion?

    You receive a comprehensive, audit-ready validation report containing certified test data, instrument calibration numbers, floor plan maps, and formal certificates of compliance.
