Clean workstation testing

Camfil's NATA accredited facility can perform various compliance tests to validate clean workstations and laminar air flow cabinets, as per the following Australian Standards:

AS 1807.4.1 – Determination of air velocity and uniformity in clean work stations, laminar flow safety cabinets and pharmaceutical isolators
AS 1807.4.3 – Determination of work zone integrity
AS 1807.4.4 – Determination of integrity for terminally mounted HEPA Filter installations
AS/ISO 14644.1 – Particle Counting in work zone
AS 1807.4.5 – Determination of illuminance
AS 1807.4.7 – Determination of sound level at installed work stations, safety cabinets and pharmaceutical isolators
AS 1807.4.10 – Determination of intensity of radiation from UV lamps

At the conclusion of our comprehensive testing, you will receive a detailed analysis report and a NATA endorsed certificate of compliance to verify that your clean workstation or laminar air flow cabinet meets Australian Standard specifications and relevant state or industry requirements.

Laminar flow hood testing

Clean workstations and laminar flow hoods provide a controlled work surface through HEPA filtered air that is exhausted across a work surface in a laminar or unidirectional air stream creating a clean work zone.

Controlled workstations and laminar flow cabinets are often used within medical, pharmaceutical, scientific and manufacturing applications, including:

Aseptic dispensing
Cell culturing
Media pouring
Assembly of electronics and optical components
Preparation of medical devices

Female scientist working in a cleanroom laboratory.

When should clean workstations be tested?

On site, upon installation and/or commissioning, prior to use
After any mechanical or electrical maintenance
After filter replacement
After re-location of clean work stations or safety cabinets
Re-tested at least annually
Re-tested as required by appropriate regulatory authority
In special circumstances, such as a significant change in the work program, or where impaired operation is suspected
