DOES YOUR CLEANROOM MEET THE NEW STANDARD?

DOES YOUR CLEANROOM MEET THE NEW STANDARD?

February 2021 is the date by when the 34 CEN nations (primarily Europe and Turkey) have to implement EN 17141:2020 as a national standard. This new Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments – Biocontamination control standard, sets expectations for risk assessment, viable contamination control, viable monitoring methodology and monitoring frequency.

The new standard applies to pharmaceutical, medical device, hospital/healthcare and food cleanrooms. EN 17141:2020 covering microbiological contamination sits nicely alongside the ISO 14644 series that relates to cleanroom non-viable contamination monitoring and classification.
