• ISO Class 1-5: These environments are used in industries requiring extremely low levels of contamination, such as semiconductor manufacturing, nanotechnology, and some high-end pharmaceutical production.
• ISO Class 6-7: Commonly found in the production of medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, and optics.
• ISO Class 8-9: Typically used in less sensitive applications, such as automotive manufacturing, where some level of contamination can be tolerated.

Clean rooms are classified by the number and size of particles permitted per volume of air. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides a widely recognized standard for clean rooms, known as ISO 14644-1. This standard defines clean rooms based on the number of particles of a specific size in a cubic meter of air. The lower the ISO class, the cleaner the room.

We are excited to announce that Pleasant Precision has added a Class 8 certified clean room to our facility, specifically designed for injection molding. This enhancement aligns with our commitment to delivering the highest quality products and meeting the stringent standards of our industry. With this addition, we are better equipped to serve our clients' needs, particularly in sectors requiring ultra-clean environments.

In the world of medical device manufacturing, quality is paramount. Ensuring that products are safe, reliable, and meet stringent regulatory requirements is essential for both manufacturers and end-users. ISO 13485, a globally recognized standard for quality management systems (QMS) in the medical device industry, plays a critical role in achieving these goals. In this blog post, we’ll explore what ISO 13485 is, its importance, and how it benefits companies and consumers alike.

Contract manufacturing in injection molding is the process of outsourcing the production of plastic parts or components to a manufacturer who specializes in injection molding. 

This process starts at the design phase and ends with an assembled, ready-to-ship product.  Full-service contractors offer tool-making and can offer design support in the early stages of the process.
