FAQ

What is contamination control in cleanrooms?
Contamination control involves minimizing particles, microbes, and other contaminants to maintain cleanroom integrity. This is essential in industries where even microscopic contaminants can compromise product quality and regulatory compliance. Proper contamination control requires the use of cleanroom-compatible PPE, adherence to strict gowning procedures, and maintaining hygiene protocols to ensure a controlled environment.
Do I need to use sterile PPE in a cleanroom?
It depends on the cleanroom classification and industry requirements. ISO Class 1-5 cleanrooms and aseptic environments require sterile PPE, while ISO Class 6-8 cleanrooms may allow non-sterile but cleanroom-processed PPE.
How often should PPE be changed in a cleanroom?
The frequency of PPE changes depends on cleanroom protocols, industry regulations, and contamination risks. Gloves should be changed before entering clean zones, after breaks, and whenever they become damaged or contaminated. Coveralls and masks are typically changed daily or when visibly soiled to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.
What are some common contamination risks in cleanrooms?
Several factors can contribute to contamination in cleanrooms. Poor gowning practices, such as incorrect donning or doffing of PPE, can introduce particles into controlled environments. Airborne contaminants, including dust, microbes, and skin cells, pose a significant risk to product integrity. PPE integrity issues, such as tears, punctures, or improper fit, can also lead to contamination. Additionally, improper handling of materials and unprotected surfaces may introduce particulates that compromise cleanroom standards.
