The cosmetics sector requires the setting up of cleanrooms and associated controlled environments in which we endeavour to control the concentration of airborne particles, the temperature, humidity and pressure.
This is a very diverse sector in light of its multiple activities (research & development laboratories, analysis laboratories, manufacture of cosmetic products, etc.).
A cleanroom is surrounded by its shell, a physical barrier made up of partitions, ceilings, doors and floors separating various (classified and/or unclassified) areas which have to meet a certain number of design criteria or very specific performance requirements (mechanical performance, geometry, ergonomics, fire hazard properties, sound proofing, etc).
In the health care sector, the following contamination risks and areas may be identified:
- Protecting staff who could be contaminated by micro-organisms and particles,
- Protecting the environment which could be contaminated by micro-organisms,
- Protecting manufactured products which could be contaminated by micro-organisms and particles.
