Beyond Cleanroom Certification: Why Monitoring Matters

Cleanroom certification is an important milestone, but true contamination control requires much more than a one-time test. In this case study, you’ll see how effective, risk-based monitoring can transform your cleanroom from simply meeting compliance requirements to maintaining a truly controlled environment, every day.

This case study is part of Valutek's Case Study Series:

In this case study, you’ll learn:

  • The differences between cleanroom commissioning, certification, and ongoing monitoring
  • How to establish risk-based, science-driven monitoring strategies
  • Which parameters are most critical for maintaining compliance and product quality
  • Why real-time monitoring matters more than periodic certification snapshots

Whether you’re managing a new facility or refining existing protocols, this guide will give you practical insights into why monitoring is essential—and how to do it right.

Without effective monitoring, your cleanroom is operating blind.”
