Standard Operating Procedures for Controlled Environments
Overview
Cleanrooms demand a meticulously defined and executed cleaning regimen. SOPs for cleaning and sanitizing controlled environments are essential to ensure the continuous removal of viable and non-viable particulates while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational consistency.
By the end of Chapter 4, readers will understand how to:
-
Define cleaning frequencies and task sequences based on ISO classification
-
Select compatible cleanroom wipers, mops, and chemistries for various surfaces
-
Write clear, step-by-step SOPs that standardize procedures and minimize contamination risks
-
Incorporate validation, auditing, and visual inspection techniques to verify outcomes
“Having documented and scheduled cleaning that is conducted according to the SOP maintains the integrity of the controlled environment and decreases the risk of product contamination.”
