All components of the clean air system affecting air quality must be operating in accordance with the specification and all aspects of the controlled environment, which contribute to the operational integrity, are complete. Measure on a centered grid pattern determined by dividing the total floor area, into approximately equal areas such that:
•
The number of sub-areas is as specified in any relevant national standard or as agreed between the client and the contractor sampling positions should be at the intersection of the corners of each sub-area and at a height of 900 mm from the floor, unless agreed otherwise by the client.
Take the required number of samples at the specified flow rate at each point on the grid. These can be determined from the relevant national standards or agreed by the customer. Calculate the number of sampling locations with the formula

11.4 ESTABLISHMENT OF SINGLE SAMPLE VOLUME PER LOCATION: STEP
ACTION Start
1
Sample a sufficient volume of air at each location such that minimum of 20 particles would be detected if the particle concentration for the relevant class were at the class limit for the largest considered particle size. The single sample volume Vs per location will be determined by Vs =20x1000 / Cnm Where Vs = is the minimum sample volume per location expressed in liters. Cnm =class limit (number of particles/ m3) for the largest considered particles size specified for the relevant class.
2
20 = is the defined number of particles that could be counted if particle concentration were at the class limit. The volume sampled at each location shall be at least 2 liters with a minimum time at each location of 1 minute. Since particle counter operate at a flow rate of 1CFM, which is equal to 28.3 lits per minute, therefore particle analyzed per cubic feet will need to be multiply with 35.31 to convert to m3. Direct measurement with 1 M3 particle counter, Specification are: 50 LPM i.e. 1M3 i.e. 1000 liters per 20 minutes.
3
Sample at each location is taken for 20 minutes, which is equivalent to 50 LPM i.e. 1M3/20 minutes. There fore for grade A/B/C areas [ISO/5/6/7] and for grade D area 1 minute per location. Sampling locations are abased on the criticality of the work zone [Reference is made to AnnexureIV].

LIGHT INTENSITY MEASUREMENT: LUX MEASUREMENT
16.1 OBJECTIVE: To determine the lighting level and its uniformity throughout an area at predetermined points 16.2
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: ACCEPTANCE
CRITERIA Light level
16.3
Not less than 300 lux / As per Design Specification
PROCEDURE STEP
ACTION Start
1
Record the light levels on a pre-determined grid pattern/ layout of lux level or in the absence of a specification on a 3m x 3m grid pattern.
2
Divide the room into four equal locations.
3
Record the light level at working height or 750 mm above finished floor height.
4
The area under test must have all fitted lights working and the area structure should be complete also if required emergency lighting levels can be recorded.
5
Record the light levels in lux for each position on the grid [Reference is made to AnnexureVII].
6
Note down all variations from the specification if any. End

ACCEPTANCE
Noise level
Not more than 85 dB / As per Design Secification
17.3 PROCEDURE STEP
ACTION Start
1
Verify that the air conditioning system is operating in the stable condition and all equipment that is specified is running [In operational condition].
2
Map out the area under test as required by the specification in a 2400 mm x 2400 mm x grid or on a previously agreed location basis i.e divide the area into fur equal parts.
3
Set the instrumentation to work and ensure unauthorized entry and exits from the room are prevented.
4
Measure the sound levels at work surface height or 750 mm from the finished floor level and layout of noise level.
5
Record the data [Reference is made to Annexure- VII].
6
Note down all variations from the specification if any. End
