In continuing with our cleanroom, we are looking at the logbooks.
The thinking is, small cleanroom, only one person (mabe two) will be in and out of the room.
We wanted to create a log book for the room which would also include the equipment use... any ideas, thoughts??

Does anyone have an example of a cleanroom log?

Thanks for any advice!

Sandy,

Most of the logbooks I have seen have resembled a simple spreadsheet. They have been very simple: date-activity-description-and signature. More importantly will be what you document in the logbook and archiving it. For example, you may want to document adjustments, flow verification, movement of equipment, weekly cleaning, etc.

but to your question, if you have other logbooks servicing other equipment, do you see any reason not to use it for the clean room? That way you don't have to create a new book just for it. Or, go ahead and make up a simple logbook to use for all your equipment.

What benefit(s) do expect to derive from the logbook? Whatever it is/they are, that's what should guide the content.

That is along the lines of what I was thinking.
We wanted to have a log book for each room, each room having a limited number of equipment, so I figured we could do a "all in one" deal.

Thanks!

I believe the log books are required for the cleanrooms. Have to keep track of in and out and equipment PM's, ect.

I just wasn't sure if putting all of the equipment and room it is in into one log book was realistic.

First attempt at the clean room, so I am learning (or trying to) as fast as I can and as we move along! :mg:

As recomended by the others a simple spreadshed type log is all you need.
Typicaly there are shift/daily , weekly, monthly/quarterly checks that are performed to ensure that the room is maintained and verified "clean". If your are working to a spec pick out the "shall" items for the log which is your record of accomplishing the task.

For each task a simple procedure of what is to be done will be the other part of this activity.

The other type of log I have seen used for clean room opperations is one that captures C/A or maintance actions outside those normaly performed. IE room removed from service to repaire ceiling or overhaul ply cutter actions documented.

This can be a seperate log but would recomend that you concider just having it as a sheet that is part of the main log you use ever day. I personely like everthing in one place as it allows for a complete picture of what happened to be seen. A visual display board type cover sheet and any one at a glance can see the status of the cleen room.

Anyone familiar with cleanrooms/controlled environments? I did some quick calculations and wanted an opinion if I am correct in my thinking!

Thanks,
Sandy

What are the processes performed. There is quite a spread on requirements based on if you are making optics, IC chips or Composite bonding. Also the type of industry.

Correct, however we are going for controlled environment that will be somewhat compliant to ISO Class 8 (100,000). We are not required to be certified and class 8 is pretty open.

We manufacture orthobiological materials for (bone) implantation for the medical industry.
We use equipment for forming (presses), powder mixers, kilns, drying ovens, thermal packaging equipment... those are the big ones.
