Trends and developments in cleanrooms

The cleanroom cleaning industry is experiencing a significant upswing, driven by the growing importance of cleanrooms in key industries. In particular, the distinction between biological cleanrooms in accordance with GMP and technical cleanrooms in accordance with DIN-EN-ISO 14644/VDI 2083 plays a central role. The requirements for cleanrooms are diverse, and the distinction between biological cleanrooms and technical cleanrooms underlines the need for specialized cleaning approaches. While biological cleanrooms in accordance with GMP guidelines are aimed at the production of biological products such as pharmaceuticals, technical cleanrooms in accordance with DIN-EN-ISO 14644/VDI 2083 are used for the highly sensitive production of electronic components. The conditions in cleanrooms ensure that neither germs nor particles can enter the room or escape from it. Conventional cleaning methods reach their limits in such sensitive environments, as they emit a considerable amount of particles through cleaning machines and vacuum cleaners. The wiping and spraying process also poses challenges that lead to increased particle pollution. This limits their use considerably. At the same time, care is taken to ensure that the cleanroom temperature, humidity and air pressure are maintained at a constant level. This focus on cleanliness and stability not only serves to protect the products manufactured, but also the well-being of employees and environmental protection. Increasing use of cleanrooms The growing importance of research and development in sectors such as pharmaceuticals and microelectronics has led to an increased use of cleanrooms, which in turn increases the demand for specialized cleaning services. Technological advances Innovations in areas such as nanotechnology and biotechnology are setting new cleanliness requirements. The industry is responding with specialized cleaning services in order to adapt to changing standards.
