    Good day Abdullah,

    What are you qualifying for? Cleanliness of air in a production room for medical instrument production and/or packaging? (just a guess)

    Clean room certification is done per requirements described in Code of Federal Regulations Title 21. The ISO 14644 standards give additional specifics and guidance.

    Just to note, we call our "clean room" an environmentally controlled room. Often when the term clean room is used, it infers a sterile clean room, whereas ours is used to reduce airborne particles (dust, fibers) that could damage our product.

    Candi, what should we call an environmentally controlled room (Temperature, Humidity and airborne particles) on the the other hand; what could make a sterile clean room distinguishable rather than environmentally controlled room ?

    There are different levels of allowable airborne particulates in classification of clean rooms. If you had two rooms, both with environmental controls for maintaining certain levels in humidity, temperature and airborne contaminants (for example, one for production and first-layer bagging and the other for secondary bagging before sending to packaging), they could both be called clean rooms. They could be distinguished by calling them what they are for: e.g., "production" and "bagging 2." Or you could call them by their classification: "Clean room 100" and "Clean room 1,000."

    If, that is, you have determined it is appropriate to have two levels of control.

    In semiconductor they are simply called "clean room." What you call them matters only if you need employees to remain aware of garmenting and entry restrictions. What really matters is the control.
