Abstract

High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter certification and particle counting are critical components in maintaining controlled environments within pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare facilities. HEPA certification verifies that filtration systems effectively remove airborne particulates to meet regulatory and industry standards, ensuring product quality, personnel safety, and environmental control. Particle counting plays a key role in this process by measuring airborne particle concentrations and confirming compliance with cleanroom classifications defined by ISO and GMP requirements. Together, these activities support contamination control strategies and provide documented evidence of system performance and compliance.
 
This course provides foundational and practical knowledge of HEPA filter certification and particle counting methodologies. Participants will learn the principles of airflow, filtration efficiency, leak testing, and particle measurement, as well as proper use of instrumentation and interpretation of test results. Emphasis is placed on regulatory expectations, data integrity, and real-world applications in GMP environments. Upon completion, participants will have an improved understanding of how HEPA certification and particle counting contribute to maintaining compliant, controlled spaces and supporting overall quality systems.+69
