In addition to viable monitoring, non-viable pressure differentials and particulate levels will also be assessed within the same time frame as these important parameters can affect the level of containment contamination.
Calibration certificates, acceptance criteria to be met, testing conditions, sampling plan/map clearly showing the sampling points within the facility, test methods for each type of test, and testing performed within each area of the cleanroom, i.e. dynamic and static conditions will be attached to the final validation report for all required equipment.
The pathogen containment is now completely tested and will be controlled by a standardised sampling system to verify that it performs to the standard needed for both non-viable and viable levels of contamination.

Penetration Leak Testing
Penetration leak testing is a commonly used, low-cost method of inspection used in all non-porous materials to verify surface-breaking defects.
The penetrant can be applied to all ferrous and non-ferrous materials while inspection of magnetic particles is mostly used instead for its sub-surface detection capability in ferrous components.
Penetration leak testing is done to detect welding, forging and casting surface defects such as fatigue cracks, leakage in new containments, surface porosity, and hairline cracks on in-service components.
Penetration leak testing is based on capillary force, where a low surface tension liquid pierces dry and clean surface, breaking discontinuities.
Liquid may be applied by rubbing, spraying or dipping on the test component.
After allowing sufficient penetration time, a developer is applied after the excess penetrant has been removed.
