1 controlled environment systems

2 controlled environment systems a scientific breakthrough in controlled environment solutions For over 25 years Norwood has been at the forefront of technological advances in the development of innovative controlled environment systems. Delivering bespoke solutions to specialist controlled environment market sectors, Norwood is the UK s leading turnkey provider, with a full design, manufacturing and installation service. pharmaceutical & healthcare aerospace & automotive electronics & semi-conductors food & testing laboratories nuclear & biotechnology The inert, non-particle shedding, sealed rooms designed by Norwood incorporate the latest efficiency-driven features such as integral utility supplies, pre-configured at Norwood s automated controlled environment manufacturing plant. Bespoke designed controlled environments are manufactured to the highest specifications and each technologically advanced development from Norwood meets Common World Standards.

3 engineering fully integrated Norwood designs, manufactures and installs bespoke innovative monoblock and bi-panel controlled environment systems, manufactured off-site and fully demountable and relocatable in nature. Flush-mounted services integrated within the room walls and bespoke components are manufactured to client specification, to meet individual needs. Unique head extrusions enable fitting of flat trim or radius coving and vinyl flooring can be fitted up the plinth to provide a flush floor-wall interface. A full range of doorsets, glazed options and walk-on ceilings can be integrated into the overall design to improve aesthetics, functionality and maintenance efficiency. The systems are finished to an antibacterial specification and available in a wide range of colour options. walk-on ceilings Using Norwood s proprietary interlocking Long Span Plank system, load-bearing walk-on ceiling constructions can be incorporated into a controlled environment design. For larger requirements, an integrated steel framework can be added, suitable for larger scale walk-on ceilings. As with all Norwood controlled environment solutions, walk-on ceilings are made off-site with preformed cut-outs for mechanical and electrical fittings, grills or other requirements. Techniques employed retain the overall integrity of the controlled environment system, without affecting capacity. A Norwood walk-on ceiling improves maintenance efficiency, allowing all access from above. servicing The unique methods used by Norwood to provide utilities and services direct to the point of use, together with cutting edge design and the incorporation of walk-on ceilings, provides the optimum flexibility for servicing, without affecting the integrity of the controlled environment. All concealed services such as gas, water, electric, data, voice & AV cabling is accessible from outside via detachable service panels. Addition of a walk-on ceiling allows for mechanical and electrical maintenance from above, without compromising the integrity of the controlled environment. inert & non-particle shedding fully integrated systems bespoke component service unique head extrusion sealed single lined joints full range of glazed options bespoke doorsets easy maintenance

4 glazing the benefits are clear Full-height or partial glazing can be integrated within the controlled environment. Flush fitting square-edged glazed units are used in the creation of the sealed environment and manifestations can be included to order. Glazed viewing panels promote improved communications, help in limiting the number of occupants within the controlled environment, improve worker safety and offer an ideal way of showcasing the company to prospective clients or partners. square edged flush glazing full height or partial glazing viewing area clean room walls full range of manifestations

5 door sets the ultimate seal of approval As a leading UK designer and manufacturer of doorsets for a variety of applications, Norwood doorsets are designed to eliminate contamination within controlled environments. Manufactured specifically for individual clean rooms, Norwood doorsets are constructed using state of the art manufacturing processes to provide an effective seal. steel construction flush mounted viewing panels bespoke doorsets range of fire rated doorsets Flush-mounted glazing can be incorporated into the steel doorsets, which are finished using electrostatically applied powder coating. A range of doorset types are available for Norwood controlled environment solutions, subject to client specification. Integrated solenoids offer flush, interlocking systems.

6 technical upholding the highest standards Controlled environments are generally classified by industry type and specific application being conducted. Overall design and manufacturing are two of the most important factors in clean room performance. The air permeability characteristics of a Norwood controlled environment solution exceeds the highest classification standards of every market sector, making Norwood the leading design and manufacturing supplier of controlled environment solutions in the UK. The reference to U.S. Federal Standards remains the most common specification for cleanrooms, especially in relation to the micro-electronic industry. As a guide only, the following classifications are related to types of manufacturing assembly and packaging, but individual applications will have their own requirements. USA USA UK-MCA BSEN UK AFS209D AFS209E Sterile products manufacture ISO14644 BS Max floor area per sample position for cleanrooms (M2) Minimum differential pressure Between classified area and unclassified area (pa) Between classified area and adjacent area of lower classification (pa) Sampling frequency For monitoring particulate 1 M1.5 3 C Daily 10 M2.5 4 D Daily 100 M3.5 A or B 5 E or F 10/ Weekly 1,000 M4.5 6 G or H Monthly 10,000 M5.5 C 7 J Monthly 100,000 M6.5 D 8 K Quarterly inert in nature, outstanding by design Norwood s inert, non-particle shedding controlled environment systems are designed and manufactured to the highest specifications. Made from a mono block modular steel construction and with flush mounted glazing and services, all controlled environments are fully demountable and relocatable. With a range of finishes available including anti-microbial coatings for healthcare-specific applications, Norwood provided the best controlled environment solutions. * tax benefits for demountable & relocatable controlled environment systems In addition to the functional advantages of selecting a Norwood system, procuring a modular demountable & fully relocatable system from Norwood can enable a tax write-down allowance incentive compared with traditional building materials. This is equivalent to 7.5% of the cash value at the time corporation tax is due. Class 1 and 10 (the highest specifications) are used for integrated circuit and semi-conductor manufacture. Class 100 is often used for the pharmaceutical and medical industries. Class 1,000 or 10,000 are manufacturers of high specification fibre optics, precision engineering and sterile packaging. Class 100,000 is adequate for general assembly and packaging.
