validation tests
 
Airflow velocity and uniformity test

Performed to determine the average air flow velocity/volume and uniformity of air flow within a unidirectional area of cleanroom as well as the total airflow provided.

 
HEPA filter installation leak test

To ensure and confirm that the HEPA filter system is properly installed by verifying the absence of bypass leakage in the installation and that HEPA filters are free of defects.

 
Room airborne particle count test

Performed to determine the actual particle count level within the facility at time of test.

 
Enclosure pressurisation test

To verify the capability of the HVAC system to maintain the specified pressure differentials

 
Sound level measurements test

Establish the airborne sound pressure levels produced by clean room HVAC and electrical systems within the clean room or clean spaces and in adjacent occupied areas to verify that performance and sound levels meet the specifications.

 
Temperature and humidity uniformity test

To demonstrate the capability of the HVAC system to control temperature uniformity and humidity within specified limits.

 
Light level and uniformity test

Verify that the defined lighting level and lighting uniformity meets the specified requirements.

 
Recovery test

Performed to determine the amount of time that is necessary for non-unidirectional clean rooms or clean spaces to reach a specified steady cleanliness level after a system shutdown or power failure.

 
Induction leak test

Performed to determine if there is intrusion of unfiltered air into the clean work areas from outside the cleanroom enclosure through joints, cracks, doors and product entry points into critical work areas.

 
Particle fallout count test

To measure the levels of large particles which are not detected effectively using airborne optical particle counters.
