MTE Solutions Cleanroom Compliance Checklist

Maintaining ISO compliance in cleanrooms is critical for product quality, safety, and regulatory approval. At MTE Solutions in Woodbury, MN, we help companies in pharmaceuticals, medical devices, aerospace, and electronics select the right cleanroom apparel, ESD tools, and contamination control supplies. The following checklist provides a clear guide to what’s required for ISO Class 3–8 environments.

Cleanroom Apparel & PPE

Operators are the number one source of contamination in cleanrooms. Proper apparel reduces the risk of particle shedding:

• ✅ Coveralls / Gowns– Disposable or reusable, ISO compliant

• ✅ Hoods / Caps / Beard Covers – Control hair and skin particulates

• ✅ Boot & Shoe Covers – Slip-resistant, low-linting

• ✅ Gloves – Nitrile or latex, sterile/non-sterile

• ✅ Sleeves / Arm Guards – Added protection for arms

• ✅ Face Masks & Goggles – Fog-resistant, low-lint

Cleaning & Wiping Supplies

Cleanliness is maintained by effective wiping and mopping protocols:

• ✅ Cleanroom Wipes – Polyester, cellulose blends, microfiber

• ✅ Mops & Mop Heads –  Cotton, foam, microfiber, flat, sponge

• ✅ Tacky Mats – At entry points to capture debris

• ✅ Disinfectants / Solvents – IPA and sterile cleaning fluids

• ✅ Spill Control – Absorbent pads and containment

ESD & Static Control

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive electronics and compromise cleanrooms. MTE offers:

• ✅ ESD-Safe Pens / Notebooks

• ✅ Wrist Straps / Heel Grounders

• ✅ ESD Mats & Work Surfaces

• ✅ Ionizers / Neutralizers

• ✅ ESD Packaging Materials

Documentation & Monitoring

Compliance requires traceability and proper documentation:

• ✅ Cleanroom Logbooks

• ✅ Labels & Markers

• ✅ Monitoring Devices

• ✅ Compliance Signage

Facility & Compliance Essentials

Beyond apparel and wipes, the facility itself must be maintained:

• ✅ Storage Bins / Shelving

• ✅ Garment Storage Cabinets

• ✅ Waste Disposal – ESD-safe bins

• ✅ Training Materials – SOPs, guides
