INTRODUCTION FOR ISO 14644 CLEANROOM TRAINING PROGRAM
Why Individual Cleanroom Training Needed?
Cleanroom contamination related failures continue to cost electronics & pharmaceutical manufactures many millions of dollars every year. The cost of damaged wafer, die, component and pharmaceutical products or assembly and pharmaceutical packaging might be only few cents or could reach thousands of dollars. When particle contamination happens in cleanroom environment, multiply the cost by ten. Airborne particle contamination can impact productions yields, product quality, reliability in the field and customer satisfaction, all of these will affect your profitability.
Current industry standards including ISO14644 all for effective Cleanroom control program that includes initial and recurrent Cleanroom awareness training for all personnel who might come into Cleanroom area, and for the maintenance of complete training records.
The Workshops will help you to:
- Understand the purpose and importance of cleanrooms.
- Learn the classification and requirements of cleanrooms as per ISO 14644.
- Develop skills for proper cleaning techniques, materials, and tools.
- Understand contamination control and personal behaviour in cleanrooms.
- Gain knowledge of documentation and compliance requirements.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Overall, any personnel handling Cleanroom sensitive items. Relevant for Semiconductor, PCB Assembly, Disk drive, Wafer Fabrication, Fiber Optics, Electronics manufacturing industries and pharmaceutical industries (GMP).
