Airology are experts in Defence Cleanrooms and Laboratories.

Cleanrooms create controlled environments to facilitate the production of safe and effective components and parts. We produce bespoke quality cleanrooms for the defence industry, making the best use of space to ensure sterile, controlled environments for procedures and preparation.

Defence cleanrooms can be used for the manufacture of circuitry, breathing systems, propellants and sensitive technology. We handle all sensitive information with discretion and professionality.

Why Defence Manufacturers need a Cleanroom

A cleanroom is a controlled environment which ensures a reliably safe and operational product. Components such as circuitry and propellants are at risk of contamination when manufactured or repaired in normal conditions, as even a small amount of dust or dirt can cause damage or affect the functionality of certain materials. In the defence and aerospace industries, reliable equipment is highly important for safety and security.

Cleanrooms can also be used for research and testing without risk of contamination or damage.

Defence Cleanroom Classification

The classification of cleanrooms determines the number of airborne particles permitted per cubic metre of space. There are three main classifications that we work with: ISO, GMP and FED.

All of these classify cleanrooms based on the maximum allowable concentrations (particles/cubic metre) for particles of certain sizes for each class.

ISO standards, derived from ISO 14644-1, are numbered 1 to 9, with 1 being the cleanest and 9 being similar to any other, non-ventilated room.

What are the Requirements for a Cleanroom in the Defence Industry?

The requirements of your specific cleanroom project will depend on the intended use and design. Our cleanrooms are validated by an independent inspector on completion, so you can be confident that the installation meets ISO requirements.

In previous defence contracts, we have provided cleanrooms in line with ISO 7 and ISO 8 specifications.

Depending on the materials used, your cleanroom may also require control of light levels, temperature, humidity and air pressure to preserve functionality.

Why Work with Airology Systems for your Cleanroom?

With over 25 years of experience in the cleanroom industry, we have extensive knowledge of cleanroom technology and classifications. With this knowledge and experience, we support you with the design and management of your whole cleanroom project, from initial concept to completion.

Once the design is finalised, we provide and liaise with specialists to install high-tech, high-quality solutions, creating a secure, controlled environment in your space. We are available for guidance throughout the project, by phone or email, and happy to offer advice where needed. On completion of the build, we arrange an independent validation assessment, giving you confidence that our solutions meet the specifications required.
