Verifying acceptable performance concerning airflow and HEPA-filter performance
The following documents are utilized or referenced to perform this certification:1. IEST-RP-CC0034.3: HEPA and ULPA Filter Leak Tests (Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology)2. ISO 14644-1: Cleanrooms and Associated Controlled Environ-ments—Part 1—Classifications of Air Cleanliness.Air Flow Testing: HEPA-filter air-flow velocities are measured in Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) with the use of an Air Data Multimeter with the capture cone attachment.
HEPA-Filter Integrity
Emory 3004 (PAO) is utilized as the aerosol challenge material. Distribution is via cold laskin nozzle generation introduced into the upside of the exhaust HEPA-filter. A particle counter is used to scan the HEPA filter. The HEPA-filter and the frame are scanned at a rate not exceeding two inches per second at a distance of approximately one inch from the exit plane of the HEPA-filter.
Particle Count Classification
The HEPA filtered exhaust air needs to meet an ISO 14644 Class 5 environment in an at rest condition.
Current Certification Schedule
Annual recertification of the equipment is due one year from the testing date.
