Benefits of Our Cleanliness Management Concept for Data Centers
Our cleanliness management concept is designed to ensure that your data center project meets ISO 14644-1:2015 Class 8 cleanroom air quality standards—through every phase from design to handover.
1. Design Support & Responsibility Definition
We help your design team understand the critical role of cleanliness in achieving cleanroom-grade air quality. Our concept also clearly defines cleanliness-related responsibilities and requirements for the design phase, ensuring that cleanliness goals are integrated from the start.
2. Informed Material Choices
We assist in selecting surface materials that support clean indoor air quality. This helps prevent dust- and dirt-related risks throughout the building’s life cycle, minimizing delays and avoiding unexpected costs.
3. Site Cleanliness Management Documentation
Our concept includes detailed cleanliness requirements for each project phase. These are compiled into a Site Cleanliness Management Document, which is included in contractor procurement materials. This ensures that contractors are held accountable for cleanliness from the outset, with responsibilities that are clear and traceable.
4. Continuous On-Site Inspections
Our experts conduct regular inspections throughout the project to document cleanliness and ensure proactive contamination control. This supports high-quality installations and reduces the risk of contamination-related issues.
5. Safer Worksite & Regulatory Compliance
By implementing structured cleanliness management, we improve occupational safety and ensure compliance with national laws and industry-specific standards. This helps speed up project completion and enables earlier readiness for furnishing and IT installations.
6. Clean HVAC & Equipment Protection
We ensure that HVAC systems are only installed once the required cleanliness levels have been verified. This reduces the need for frequent duct cleaning and helps prevent contamination that could lead to equipment failure. Long-term, this protects sensitive IT infrastructure and contributes to system reliability.
7. On-Schedule Commissioning
With effective cleanliness control in place, testing and commissioning can begin on time—without delays due to environmental contamination. Even during end-user installations, cleanliness can be monitored to ensure consistent quality through final handover.
