Objective: To establish a standard procedure for smoke test of HVAC system and dispensing/ sampling/ LAF Booths.
Scope: This SOP is applicable for smoke test of HVAC system and dispensing/ sampling/ LAF Booths of (Company Name).
Responsibility: Engineering Officer/ Sr. Engineering Officer shall be responsible to ensure that the SOP is followed properly.
Accountability: Head of Engineering.
Precautions:
1. Concerned personnel should be trained on the SOP.
2. Check condition of smoke test apparatus before starting the smoke test.
Proceudre:
=>> For Clean rooms (HVAC System):
=>> Fill up the Aerosol Generator with ONDINA Oil.
=>> Arrange power supply (230V) & inert gas to generate smoke through Aerosol Generator.
=>> Generate smoke by the Aerosol Generator.
=>> Arrange video recording of the flow pattern of smoke through multimedia department of BPL.
=>> Make sure the HVAC system is in running condition.
=>> Start the Aerosol Generator and flow the smoke towards supply (Terminal) HEPA filter of the particular room.
=>> Start the video recording during flow of smoke towards the Terminal HEPA filter.
=>> Slowly flow the smoke downwards.
=>> Flow the smoke towards the return riser of the particular clean room.
=>> Conduct video recording of the entire operation.
=>> Note that flow pattern in Form no.: FEG/050-00. Attach the video copy with the report.
=>> Frequency of Air flow pattern test is 2 years.
=>> For Dispensing/ Sampling/ LAF Booths:
=>> Use hand pump and smoke pencil to generate smoke.
=>> Arrange video recording of the operation.
=>> Open two sides of the smoke pencils by breaking the glass cover. Set the hand pump in one side of the pencil.
=>> Generate smoke with hand pump just below the supply HEPA filters
=>> Start the video recording after generating the smoke
=>> Slowly flow the smoke downwards of the booth.
=>> Generate smoke just in front of the air inlet of the booth.
=>> Note the flow pattern in the Form No.: FEG/050-00. Attach the video copy with the report.
=>> Frequency of Air flow pattern test is 2 years.
