Structural Integrity

1. Verify that all walls, ceilings, and floors are constructed according to cleanroom specifications.
2. Ensure all materials used are non-shedding and appropriate for cleanroom environments.
3. Check for any cracks or damages that could lead to contamination breaches.
4. Inspect all joints and seals to ensure they are airtight and intact.

Air Filtration Systems

5. Assess the installation of HEPA/ULPA filters for proper placement and sealing.
6. Test air pressure differentials to maintain correct airflow patterns.
7. Evaluate the air change rate to ensure it meets cleanroom class requirements.
8. Check for any leaks in the air filtration system that could compromise cleanliness.

Compliance and Safety

9. Confirm that all construction and filtration systems comply with ISO cleanroom standards.
10. Ensure safety protocols are in place for maintenance and operation of the cleanroom.
11. Examine all monitoring equipment for functionality and calibration.
12. Review documentation of all inspections and maintenance activities for accuracy.

Cleanroom Environment

13. Measure temperature and humidity control to ensure stability.
14. Inspect lighting systems for proper illumination and minimal heat emission.
15. Verify that all cleanroom garments and materials are stored according to protocol.
16. Check for any sources of contamination such as dust, particles, or moisture.

Ensuring Structural Integrity

A cleanroom's structural integrity is vital to maintaining its controlled environment. Ensuring that all construction elements are built to specifications prevents contamination and maintains the cleanroom's effectiveness. Inspectors should pay close attention to the materials used, as well as the quality of construction.

Check for non-shedding, cleanroom-compatible materials.
Inspect walls, floors, and ceilings for any damage.
Ensure all seals and joints are airtight.
Review compliance with construction standards.

Evaluating Air Filtration Systems

Air filtration systems are the backbone of cleanroom operations, maintaining the necessary air purity. Inspectors must evaluate the efficiency and installation of filtration units, ensuring they meet the required standards and operate correctly to minimize contamination.

Verify correct installation of HEPA/ULPA filters.
Assess air pressure differentials and airflow patterns.
Ensure the air change rate aligns with cleanroom class.
Check for leaks in the filtration system.

Compliance and Safety Standards

Compliance with industry standards and safety regulations is non-negotiable in cleanroom operations. This involves regular checks and documentation to ensure all systems are functioning optimally and safely.

Confirm compliance with ISO standards.
Ensure safety protocols are in place and followed.
Check monitoring equipment for functionality.
Maintain accurate records of inspections and maintenance.
