ISO 14644 & GMP Cleanroom Validation & Servicing

Independent, auditable testing and regulatory certification ensuring continuous compliance, operational longevity, and minimal plant downtime.

Technical Overview

Engineered Contamination Control

Regulatory bodies (FDA, EMA, WHO) demand rigorous validation documentation before any cleanroom can begin commercial production. REINWERK provides comprehensive validation services following the international Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP 5) lifecycle model.

Our certified cleanroom metrology engineers perform all on-site qualification testing with calibrated state-of-the-art instruments, providing tamper-proof audit-ready documentation and customized preventative maintenance programs.

Key Engineering Features

Complete Qualification (DQ / IQ / OQ / PQ)

Structured protocols establishing documented evidence that facilities and systems perform consistently according to User Requirement Specifications (URS).

HEPA / ULPA Filter Integrity Testing

DOP / DEHS aerosol challenge testing and photometer scanning to detect pinhole leaks in filter media, gel seals, and clamping frames.

Airborne Particle Counting

Optical particle counter sampling according to ISO 14644-1:2015 at rest and in operational states for particles ≥0.1 µm, ≥0.5 µm, and ≥5.0 µm.

Airflow Visualization & Recovery Tests

High-purity DI water smoke studies to document unidirectional airflow, turbulence zones, and recovery rate measurements (typically <15 minutes).

Engineering FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does an ISO 14644 cleanroom need to be re-certified?

According to ISO 14644-2:2015, airborne particle concentration testing should be demonstrated at least once every 12 months for ISO 6 through 9, and at least every 6 months for ISO 5 and cleaner. Filter integrity and differential pressure should be verified continuously or on a scheduled schedule.

What happens if a HEPA filter fails the aerosol leak test?

If a minor leak is detected, it can often be repaired using FDA-approved silicone-free cleanroom patch sealant within standard surface area allowances. If the leak exceeds permissible limits, REINWERK technicians immediately replace the filter element with a factory-tested replacement.
