Cleanroom Validation
Measuring what a finished room actually does, rather than what its design said it would.
Why it matters
Validation is the point at which a controlled environment stops being a design intent and becomes a measured fact. A room is classified on the basis of what it is shown to do under test, not on the basis of the equipment installed in it.
It is also the step that finds the problems worth finding. Installed filter leakage, airflow short-circuiting and pressure cascades running the wrong way are all invisible on a drawing and obvious under test.
What the service covers
- 01
Installed filter integrity
Filters challenged in place through DOP test ports, which tests the seal as installed and not only the media as manufactured.
- 02
Airflow verification
Velocity and uniformity measured against the design figures, typically 0.45 +/- 0.05 m/s for laminar flow equipment.
- 03
Classification
Airborne particle counts assessed against the target ISO 14644-1 class for the room.
- 04
Periodic revalidation
Repeat testing so a room that was compliant at handover is shown to still be compliant later.
What we manufacture for it
Absolute HEPA FilterH13 and H14 grade final filtration, 99.97% at 0.3 micron, for ISO Class 5 operation.
Mini Pleat HEPA Filter (Gel Seal)The gel seal version, which eliminates bypass leakage at the filter-to-housing joint.
Horizontal Laminar Air Flow UnitA work station with unidirectional horizontal airflow, for product protection at ISO Class 5.
Frequently asked
All questionsWhat does MAP Filters manufacture?
Four related product families: cleanroom turnkey projects (PUF partitions, doors, air handling units, ducting, terminal boxes, control panels and epoxy flooring), cleanroom equipment (air showers, laminar air flow units, pass boxes, biosafety cabinets, dispensing and sampling booths, garment cubicles), HVAC air filters (pre, fine, HEPA, super HEPA, mini pleat, activated carbon, combination, pocket and bag filters), and modular operation theatres. We also take on HVAC projects, cleanroom validation and plant maintenance.
Does MAP Filters manufacture its own filters, or resell them?
We manufacture them. We are one of the few companies internationally to manufacture both cleanroom equipment and the air filters that go into it, from premises of about 12,000 sq ft near Mumbai. In practice this is why the filters inside our air showers, pass boxes and laminar flow units are our own, and why replacement elements can be made in sizes that are no longer generally available.
Which industries does MAP Filters work with?
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology, chemical research laboratories, electronics manufacturing, semiconductor production, food processing, and hospitals and healthcare. Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare are the three segments the company was built around.
Can MAP Filters take on a complete cleanroom, or only supply equipment?
Both. Our in-house capability covers design, engineering, construction and manufacturing, so a project can be taken on as a single turnkey contract. Where a facility only needs the envelope, or only needs equipment or replacement filters, those can be supplied on their own.
Can equipment be built to a non-standard size?
Yes. Filters and cleanroom equipment are manufactured in standard and customised sizes. For filters, the standard size tables on each product page are the sizes held as standard; other dimensions are made to order, and refill types are manufactured to customer requirement.

- Useful to include
- For filters: size, quantity, required grade and frame material. For a project: the room layout and the ISO class it has to hold.
