FM 4882 standard was developed to minimize the possible safety hazards and risks in the event of an unexpected fire. The standard addresses the need for the cladding system to suppress the spread of fire and minimize possible damage due to smoke generation.
Heat welded seams ensures no cracks, gaps or fissures where contaminants could accumulate and no caulking that can fade and require frequent replacement
Tips for Passing ISO, cGMP, FDA and Other Certifications
Know your ISO requirement
A Terra product specialist can offer general design advice or make a consultation referral. Regulated industries such as pharmaceutical compounding maintain clear requirements for ISO cleanliness and related cleanroom characteristics. Other operations may require a certification consultant to specify these design requirements based on specific operations being performed.
Either way, make sure you know the applicable performance requirements before you select a room design or cleanliness level.
FFU Ceiling Coverage and Air Change Rate
ISO specifies permissible particle counts for each cleanliness level but not how many fan/filter units are required to meet these target values. Other organizations, including the Institute for Environmental Science, provide recommended ranges for FFU ceiling coverage.
Terra recommends the high value within each range, which in most cases accommodates typical contamination loads presented by personnel and equipment. Modular Power Distribution Modules make it easy to add as requirements change – plug-and-play connections eliminate the need for hard-wiring by an electrician.
Cleanroom Design and Materials
A Terra Product Specialist will advise on the proper panel and other component materials to meet specific requirements for ISO compatibility, sterilization, chemical resistance, static safety, and other environmental concerns.
Environmental Control and Documentation
Adjustable exhaust vents and manual FFU speed controls on all Terra cleanrooms allow regulation of air change rates. For centralized display and control, select low-cost automated FFU speed controls, which also allow remote Building Management System (BMS) fan control and even dynamic fan adjustment in response to programmed pressure levels. Air pressure, temperature, and humidity data are logged for a traceable operating history.
Modular cleanrooms are available with stand-alone air conditioning modules or can be integrated with existing A/C systems. Humidification and De-humidification systems meet specific RH requirements.
Scratch and Dent Resistant
Avoid costly shut downs from wall materials cracking and flaking. CPVC wall cladding will not crack, chip, or flake. They are extremely durable and impact resistant
Smooth, Easy to Clean Surfaces
When panels are heat welded, they become seamless and smooth, preventing gaps and crevices where contaminants can collect. Provides superior hygiene and infection control
FM 4882 Approved Panels
FM 4882 approved panels are low-smoke emittance and will not allow self-propagation of a fire. FM 4882 combines FM 4880 and ASTM E84 standards
Variety of Accessories for GMP Requirements
Terra offers pre-formed corners and trim pieces to speed up installation and maintain smooth, hygienic surfaces. Options include 90 degree and 3-way transition
Simple GMP Cleanroom Wall Installation
Position double-sided tape. Step 2: Apply the adhesive. Step 3: Fit the wall panels in place. Step 4: Weld the panels together to ensure a clean, sealed, and smooth surface
