The ISO procedure can be broken down into 7 basic steps to certify a cleanroom. Let’s take a look at these steps and then we’ll go over how the features of particle counters for air can help you with the job.

Summary of Seven Steps to Cleanroom Certification:

Step 1: Calculate the number of locations that need to be sampled based on the cleanroom size.
Step 2: Determine the particle sizes in the air to be measured, max concentrations allowed and the minimum sampling volume at each location.
Step 3: Measure the particles at each sampling location.
Step 4: If you are performing multiple samples at each location take the average from each location.
Step 5: Take an average of the measurements from all the locations.
Step 6: If the number of points sampled was between 2 and 9 then calculcate the 95% UCL.
Step 7: Determine if the cleanroom passed or failed by comparing the UCL to the maximum particles per cubic meter as shown on the ISO table.

Step 1: Calculating the number of locations

The 3905 and 3910 particle meters for air have a Standard mode that allows you to enter the area of the room in cubic meters. Once this is done the instrument will calculate how many points need to be measured. You can still adjust the number of points manually if desired, but if you are following the ISO standard the instrument does the calculation for you.

Step 2: Determine particle size, max. concentration and minimum sampling volume for air

The cleanroom certifier will need to determine these numbers per the ISO procedure. It’s important to note the flow rate of the 3886 and 3887 is 2.83 L/min, the 3905 is 28.3 L/min, and the 3910 is 50.0 L/min. If you will be certifying multiple cleanrooms and typically need to samples a high volume of air then the 3910 is a better choice with its higher sampling rate. The 3887 is the perfect tool for smaller air samples. Both instruments can be programmed to sample for a specified length of time making it easy to sample precise volumes of air flow.

Step 3: Measure particles at each location.

The 3887 has an ISO mode that will allow you to program it with the number of sample points and sample duration needed to certify the cleanroom. The 3905 and 3910 have a similar mode called Standard mode that includes a configurable setup to certify ISO (as well as other standards such as EU GMP). You can even upload a map of your cleanroom and specify the measuring locations on it in the particle counters.

Step 4 through 6:
Average the measurements taken at each location, then average the final results of the particles in the air from all locations and calculate the UCL.

Both instruments will automatically calculate the averages and the UCL for you. These steps are essentially eliminated from your workload.

Step 7: Determine if the cleanroom passed the air particle counter tests

You can determine if the cleanroom passed or failed by comparing the UCL to the maximum particle concentration allowed as shown on the ISO table. The 3887 will calculate the UCL for you and you can just compare the final number to the ISO table. The 3905 and 3910 are programmed with the ISO standards and will tell you on the spot if your cleanroom has passed or failed. With its built-in printer it can even issue an on-the-spot report.

Large Scale Facility Monitoring System

The data logging and ViewLinc PC software package is a powerful tool for large scale, continuous facility monitoring. Sensors (such as particulate, temperature, humidity and pressure) placed in critical or key locations connect to data loggers, which in turn can integrate with an existing network (wired or wireless) and transfer the data to the system software. The software then provides remote monitoring, alarm warnings and reporting. Remote alarms includes: emails, text messages and even phone dial-out to notify operators or administrators. Using this system a facility manager can remotely monitor several facilities via the internet.

Standard Cleanroom Monitoring System

Kanomax Cleanroom monitoring System (CRMS) provides an automated means to monitor and gather airborne particle counts and other parameter levels in controlled environments. The CRMS allows users to perform a variety of functions from their PC including the alteration of alarm information and the viewing of particle count concentrations. The system is designed with a modular nature so you can purchase exactly what you need for your particular application. Whether you need a single sensor or two located at critical areas or a full multi-sensor, 24-hour monitoring system, Kanomax can work with you to provide the perfect system.

Basic Particle Montioring Systems for Air

The new AES-1000 Basic Particle Monitoring System is designed to check particulate levels for air process monitoring. The instrument offers a simplified, easy-to read display which shows the current air cleanliness level at a glance, based on the ISO scale. An LED light continuously displays the current condition. The sensor is easy to setup anywhere it's desirable to check particulate levels, such as critical areas and heavy processing zones. It can be integrated with an existing network by using a standard LAN/Ethernet cable. PC monitoring software comes standard with the sensor.

Remote Air Particle Sensors for Facility Monitoring Systems

Kanomax sensors with analog output are designed to fit into your existing monitoring system, or they can be used as a stand-alone unit to monitor a critical area when connected to an alarm or controller. The air particle sensor is available with both 0.1 and 1.0 CFM flow rates. Our airflow transducer is available with many different probes to suit your specific application needs.
