A cleanroom is a controlled environment that meets the classification requirements of ISO 14644-1, which classifies cleanrooms based on allowable airborne particle concentration per cubic meter. Cleanrooms are used in environments where contamination sensitive manufacturing, compounding, or research activities require controlled airborne particulate levels.

ISO 14644-1 classifies cleanrooms based on allowable airborne particle concentration per cubic meter, with ISO Class 1 being the cleanest and ISO Class 9 the least clean. Flooring systems may be evaluated for surface integrity and low particle emission as part of contamination‑control strategies in classified environments.
US Pharmacopeia standards guide pharmaceutical compounding. USP 797 applies to sterile compounding, and USP 800 applies to hazardous drug handling. Gerflor cleanroom flooring solutions are compatible with all commonly used disinfectants and toughest cleaning agents used in the space. Seamless, non‑porous surfaces support effective cleaning and contamination control.

Cleanroom flooring is typically tested by independent laboratories when newly installed to evaluate particle release levels. However, after years of wear and tear caused by traffic and regular use, particle emissions can increase significantly, potentially leading to non-compliance with cleanroom standards. To ensure long-term performance, flooring selection must account for durability and aging to maintain compliance with ISO 14644-1 requirements.

The Mipolam Biocontrol Clean is the only solution guaranteed ISO 14644-1 over several years in use.

Flooring performance supports cleanability, contamination control, chemical resistance, and safety over the lifecycle of the facility. Auditors routinely assess flooring condition during inspections as part of overall cleanroom compliance
GMP requirements define environmental controls for pharmaceutical manufacturing; sterile environments may reference Grades A–D (e.g. EU GMP Annex 1). Flooring should support cleaning and contamination control appropriate to the room’s classification and risk. Seam integrity and durability are essential for compliant flooring performance.
Cracks, gaps, and surface damage are commonly identified as contamination risks during inspections. Flooring selection should support overall contamination‑control strategies.

Gerflor flooring products proudly carry the A+ low‑VOC emissions certification, the highest rating in the French indoor‑air‑quality system. This elite distinction highlights Gerflor’s commitment to healthier spaces, cleaner air, and premium product performance. By achieving A+, Gerflor demonstrates that its floors release extremely low levels of emissions, a key advantage where air quality matters most. It’s a powerful proof point of Gerflor’s dedication to sustainability, safety, and manufacturing standards.
