Grade D cleanroom is mainly used in general industrial production, food processing and packaging, printing, warehousing and other fields.

WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS OF CLASSIFICATIONS?

Clean classification standards are classified according to the concentration of suspended particles in the air. Generally speaking, the smaller the value, the higher the purification level.

Air cleanliness refers to the size and number of particles (including microorganisms) contained in the air per unit volume space, which is the standard to distinguish the cleanliness level of the space.

Static refers to the state of cleanroom workers after they leave the site and self-clean for 20 minutes when the clean air conditioning system has been installed and fully functional.

Dynamic means that the cleanroom is in normal working condition, the equipment is operating normally, and there are designated personnel operating in accordance with the specifications.

Grade A,B,C,D standards

The classification standard of ABCD comes from the GMP issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is the common drug production quality management standard in the pharmaceutical industry. It is currently used in most parts of the world, including the European Union and China.

Other clean area (room) classification standards

Clean areas (rooms) have different grading standards in different regions and different industries. The previous article has introduced the GMP standard, here mainly introduces the United States standard and ISO standard.

USA standard

The concept of classification of clean areas (rooms) was first proposed by the United States, and the first federal standard for the military section of cleanrooms was introduced in 1963: FS-209. We are familiar with the 100, million and 100,000 levels are derived from this standard, in 2001 the United States stopped using the FS-209E standard, began to use the ISO standard.

ISO standard

ISO standards are developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and cover multiple industries, not just the pharmaceutical industry. There are nine levels from ISO1 to 9. Among them, Grade A is equivalent to ISO 5(static&dynamic state); Grade B is equivalent to ISO 5(static state), ISO 7(dynamic state); Grade C is equivalent to ISO 7(static state), ISO 8(dynamic state);Grade D is equivalent to ISO 8(static state), none required(dynamic state).

ISO 14644-1 Cleanroom Standards

ISO 9				35200000	8320000	293000	Room Air

Different grades of cleanrooms have their own scope of application, and they can be selected according to actual needs. In practical applications, the environmental control of cleanroom is an important task, involving the comprehensive consideration of many factors, only scientific and reasonable design and operation, in order to ensure the quality and stability of the cleanroom environment.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF CLEANROOM?

Cleanrooms are mainly classified according to indoor cleanliness, air flow form, control object, indoor net height and structural characteristics. In this article, we will classify them according to airflow patterns.

Turbulent Flow

That is, the air enters the cleanroom from the air conditioning box through the air duct and the air filter (HEPA) in the cleanroom, and the air is returned by the wall panels or elevated floors of the two sides of the cleanroom. An irregular turbulent or eddy state in which the air flow is not linear in motion. This type is suitable for cleanroom class 1,000-100,000.

Advantages: simple structure, system construction cost, the expansion of cleanroom is relatively easy, in some special use places, can use a dust-free workbench to improve the level of cleanroom.

Disadvantages: Dust particles caused by turbulence floating in the indoor space is not easy to discharge, easy to pollute the process products. In addition, if the system stops running and reactivates, it often takes a considerable period of time to achieve the required cleanliness.

Laminar Flow

This type is suitable for the class1-100 cleanroom. There are two types:

a.horizontal layer flow: the horizontal air from the filter in a single direction, by the side of the wall of the return air system return air, dust wind discharged to the outside, generally in the lower side of the pollution is more serious. Advantages: simple structure, can become stable in a short time after operation. Disadvantages: The construction cost is higher than the turbulence, and the interior space is not easy to expand.

b.vertical layer flow: The air is blown from top to bottom, which can obtain a high degree of cleanliness, and the dust generated by the process or staff can be quickly discharged outside. Advantages: Easy management and not easy to be affected. Disadvantages: The construction cost is high, the elastic use of space is difficult; and the maintenance and replacement of the filter is more troublesome.

Mixed Type

The compound type is a combination of turbulent flow and stratified flow, which can provide local ultra-clean air.

a. Clean Tunnel : HEPA or ULPA filter will cover 100% of the clean area to improve the cleanliness level, which can save installation and operation costs. This model isolates the work area from product and machine maintenance to avoid compromising quality during machine maintenance.

b. Clean pipe : the automatic production line is surrounded and purified, and the cleanliness level is raised to more than 100. A small amount of air supply can be obtained with good cleanliness, which can save energy, and automated production lines are the most suitable for use.

c. Clean Spot: the cleanliness level of the product process area of the turbulent clean room with a clean room class of 10,000 to 100,000 is raised to more than 10 to 1000 for production purposes; Clean workbench, clean work shed, clean air cabinet is such.
