PART – V CASE EXAMPLES (BIOCLEAN & SEMICONDUCTOR ROOMS)
The requirements for clean rooms depend on the classification and use.
Factors that contribute to quality products:
• Starting materials and packaging materials
• Validated processes
• Personnel
• Procedures
• Equipment
• Design and quality of premises
• Manufacturing environment
• Inadequacies in the above factors will lead to sub-standard products.
The manufacturing environment is critical for product quality. The environment optimization
include
• Light
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Air movement
• Microbial contamination
• Particulate contamination
Uncontrolled environment can lead to product degradation /Loss of product and profit
The bio-clean areas include the pharmaceutical facilities, animal laboratories, radioisotopes lab,
research laboratories, surgical theatres etc while the industrial clean room could be the
semiconductor manufacturing, electronic assembly, aerospace assembly etc. etc. Clean rooms in
the industrial application such as microelectronic semiconductor business are somewhat different
than those in the bio-clean applications.
