With a 10 year medical device background with heavy emphasis on Regulatory and Quality, we understand that compliance to ISO 14644, ISO 13485, and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) as it relates to cleanrooms, quality systems, and facilities can be difficult. Help alleviate the burden on operations and quality staff in evaluating existing and expanding space requirements. Ensure building is capable of supporting core functions and maintaining compliance for continued success. Help avoid ISO noncompliance, FDA Form 483, or FDA Warning Letter due to facility issues.

4. Cleanroom Manufacturing

Having a commercial real estate broker with an understanding of necessary facility requirements for cleanrooms gives you the ability to locate building options that either meet or exceed requirements necessary to support cleanrooms such as:

  • First floor location
  • Required clear height
  • HVAC capacity
  • Electrical and other mechanical requirements
  • Roof support
  • NEBB Procedural Standards
  • Other considerations for common ISO Classes (5-8) for Life Science companies
  • ISO 14644 international cleanroom standards

Save time and money by finding the right property the first time and eliminating the need for heavy capital investment to retrofit for cleanroom purposes.
