Clean Room Validation Testing

'Cleanroom' as the name suggests refers to a room, space, or a particular confinement which is quite clean. But having said that, when we are talking of a scientific process any system needs to be quantified, and the same goes for a 'Cleanroom'. Although there are a number of different standard definitions of cleanroom, it can be defined as " A room where there is a controlled level of contamination, and the contaminants can be dust, bacteria, mold, electro-static discharge etc." The level of contamination is quantified by the number of air particles/particulates, of a particular particle size, per unit volume (generally cubic metre).

The concept of Cleanroom and Cleanroom service has received prominence in a number of industries and service providers which lay emphasis on precision like semi-conductor/electronics, microelectronics, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, microbiological laboratories, and other sophisticated equipment manufacturers. Since the work of maintaining a cleanroom is quite complicated, the varieties of jobs also vary. The expertise level range from that of low-skilled workers to that of highly skilled engineers and microbiologists. But all the technicians related to Clean Room Validation need to be thoroughly trained in the basic points, like wearing protective gears like masks, gloves, headgears etc., and also maintaining and following certain protocols related to the process of entering, exiting, and other movements inside that 'Contamination-free' room. Hence the job, in general, needs a lot of painstaking efforts on the part of all the technicians.
