Most cleanroom certification companies stick to one industry. Clean Air Monitoring's technicians work across the full regulatory spectrum — and our clients tell us that breadth is exactly why they trust us with their most critical environments.
Clean Air Monitoring is based in Langley, BC, with active service across British Columbia, Yukon, and Alberta. Our local team allows for fast, responsive service that out-of-province providers can't match — and when clients need us further afield, we travel. From the Lower Mainland to the territories, the Prairies, and the East Coast, we're ready to support facilities across Canada.
Same-day emergency service available.
Tell us about your facility and what you need certified. We respond promptly. Quote turnaround depends on the scope of the project.
From certification through compliance and transition — Clean Air Monitoring delivers every phase of your critical environment's lifecycle, locally and on schedule.
The services listed below represent a selection of our core capabilities and are not exhaustive.
Initial certification, recertification, and field performance verification for cleanrooms and primary engineering controls — performed on-site by NSF-accredited, CETA-Registered technicians.
Ongoing field certification, environmental monitoring, and specialized contamination investigation — the recurring on-site work that keeps your facility audit-ready between annual certifications.
Independent consulting through every lifecycle change — new builds, equipment installation, expansions, commissioning, and decommissioning. We recommend what's right for the facility, not what serves a manufacturer's sales targets.
Cleanroom and controlled-environment certification built around the Canadian regulatory standards your facility is audited to — NAPRA Model Standards for sterile and non-sterile compounding pharmacies, Health Canada Annex 1 (GUI-0119 v2, May 2024) for GMP manufacturing, and PHAC Canadian Biosafety Standard for CL2/CL3 containment laboratories, with ISO 14644-1 classification and USP <797>/<800> compliance where applicable. Compounding pharmacies, hazardous compounding rooms, GMP manufacturing cleanrooms, and biocontainment laboratories each have meaningfully different engineering and testing requirements; CAM certifies all four.
Cleanroom certification for sterile compounding pharmacies — both non-hazardous and hazardous (NAPRA-aligned) environments — and ISO-classified controlled environments. Performed every six months per NAPRA Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Sterile Preparations, with the full certification battery documented to ISO 14644-1, CETA CAG-003, and USP <797>/<800> requirements.
Non-sterile hazardous compounding rooms — Level C per NAPRA Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-Sterile Preparations. These rooms require a fundamentally different engineering approach than sterile cleanrooms — containment of hazardous powders and aerosols rather than aseptic protection. Level C requires a dedicated room with negative pressure, externally-vented HEPA filtration, minimum 12 ACPH, and an appropriate Containment Primary Engineering Control (C-PEC) for the materials being compounded.
Field certification and re-qualification testing for GMP manufacturing cleanrooms — performed in support of the qualification and validation programs your QA team and IQ/OQ/PQ consultancy maintain under Health Canada Annex 1 (GUI-0119 version 2, May 2024) and Health Canada's Guide to Validation (GUI-0029) or PIC/S Annex 15 methodology. Grade A/B/C/D cleanrooms classified to ISO 14644-1, in-operation and at-rest. CAM delivers the on-site testing and certification reports; we don't author validation protocols, design sampling plans, or run your compliance program — those sit with your qualification firm.
Containment laboratories operate in the opposite direction from cleanrooms — engineered to keep biological agents in rather than to keep contamination out. Containment Level 2 (CL2), CL2-Ag (animal containment), and Containment Level 3 (CL3) facilities handle Risk Group 2 and 3 pathogens under the Public Health Agency of Canada's Canadian Biosafety Standard (CBS) and CSA Z316.2 engineering requirements. CAM performs the field certification testing these facilities depend on — coordinated with each site's biosafety officer and aligned to the inspection regime governing the work.
We install, certify, and service the full range of laboratory and critical equipment — biological safety cabinets, fume hoods, laminar flow workstations, containment isolators (CACIs), containment ventilated enclosures (CVEs), powder containment hoods, refrigerators, freezers, incubators, ovens, and analytical balances. CAM performs new equipment installation (uncrate, position, level, secure — with sheet metal and HVAC trades coordinated and billed through CAM as a single point of contact), field certification and recertification, calibration verification, repairs, and preventative maintenance. All work is performed on-site by NSF-accredited, CETA-Registered technicians and documented to applicable regulatory and industry standards — including the NSF/ANSI 49 Annex N-5 field certification battery, CSA Z316.5 for fume hoods, CETA Application Guides (CAG-002 for isolators, CAG-003 for sterile compounding facilities), and the equipment maintenance & calibration requirements set out in NAPRA and Health Canada GMP.
Fume hood testing aligned with the standards governing each jurisdiction — CSA Z316.5 across Canada (Alberta, Yukon, and beyond), WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation Part 30 in British Columbia, with ASHRAE 110 containment testing available on request or where required.
C-PECs are the containment-class engineering controls used for hazardous non-sterile compounding under NAPRA and USP <800> — keeping hazardous powders, aerosols, and drug particulate contained at the point of preparation. CAM certifies the four C-PEC categories most commonly deployed in BC compounding pharmacies and pharmaceutical labs: Containment Ventilated Enclosures (CVEs), Powder Containment Hoods, Compounding Aseptic Containment Isolators (CACIs), and Balance Enclosures.
Calibration verification, performance checks, and ongoing service for the analytical and storage equipment your facility relies on. NAPRA mandates biomedical-grade refrigeration with continuous temperature monitoring and balance calibration per manufacturer specifications. Health Canada GMP (GUI-0001) requires written calibration and preventative maintenance programs with records. CAM supports your facility's qualification program — providing the test data, performance reports, and certification documentation your QA team needs to maintain compliance.
Field certification, environmental monitoring, and documentation services for sterile compounding pharmacies, hazardous drug compounding facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, biotechnology facilities, and radiopharmaceutical environments. We deliver the on-site testing data and certification reports your QA team, validation consultancy, or compliance lead uses to maintain programs aligned with NAPRA Model Standards, USP <797>, USP <800>, Health Canada GMP (GUI-0001), Health Canada Annex 1 (GUI-0119), and Good Production Practices (GPP).
CAM is your field certification and monitoring vendor. We work directly with pharmacy directors and QA leads — and in subcontracted partnerships with validation consultancies and engineering firms managing GMP compliance for their clients. We don't author validation protocols or run formal IQ/OQ programs. We deliver the on-site testing, sampling, and documentation those programs depend on.
NAPRA Model Standards-compliant environmental monitoring for sterile compounding pharmacies, hospital pharmacy services, GMP facilities, and controlled environments. Viable air & surface sampling, non-viable particle counting, genus-level identification of growth, and trend analysis — performed every six months under documented monitoring schedules, with additional sampling triggered by new installations, repairs, or contamination investigations. From program design through ongoing execution and excursion response, CAM delivers the data your facility needs to maintain audit readiness with provincial regulatory authorities.
Clean Air Monitoring works with trusted analytical laboratory partners to deliver coordinated testing programs — sample collection, analysis coordination, interpretation, reporting, and investigation support.
NAPRA Model Standards and USP <800> both require environmental wipe sampling at least every six months across compounding areas, C-PECs, pass-throughs, storage rooms, and administration zones. CAM handles the full program end-to-end — sample collection on-site, analysis coordination with our lab partners, interpretation against marker drugs (cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, ifosfamide, fluorouracil, platinum compounds), trending over time, and corrective-action guidance when contamination is found.
Serving hospital pharmacies, oncology compounding facilities, and hormone compounding programs across BC and beyond.
Specialized contamination assessment and forensic support services for law enforcement, healthcare, research, industrial, and controlled-access environments requiring regulated contamination verification, documentation, and remediation support.

Clean Air Monitoring services 15+ regulated sectors across Western Canada — and our clients tell us our industry breadth is exactly why they trust us with their most critical environments.
We service sterile compounding rooms, oncology infusion areas, BSCs, fume hoods, and clinical environments across British Columbia's full network of health authorities — and into Yukon. Our work supports compliance with NAPRA Model Standards (which reference USP <797> and <800>) and provincial health authority requirements.
From national retail chains to single-site independent pharmacies, we support the full spectrum of compounding pharmacy compliance across BC. We work to USP <797> and USP <800> standards, NAPRA Model Standards, and the specific requirements of each provincial pharmacy regulator.
Few cleanroom certification companies in Canada service nuclear and radiopharmaceutical environments. The combination of GMP requirements, radiological compliance, and federal facility access requirements creates barriers that most providers can't clear. We can.
Vancouver's biotech cluster includes some of Canada's most active life sciences companies, many operating Containment Level 2 (CL2) and Containment Level 3 (CL3) research environments. We certify the BSCs, fume hoods, controlled environments, and biocontainment facilities that protect researchers and the integrity of clinical-stage R&D programs.
Forensic identification units, evidence rooms, controlled substance handling environments, and government veterinary labs require both technical expertise and personnel vetting. Our principal technician holds active RCMP security clearance, allowing us to service restricted-access facilities across BC and into Yukon.
Health Canada-licensed cannabis producers operate under Good Production Practices (GPP) — and the cleanroom, HEPA, and environmental monitoring requirements rival those of pharmaceutical manufacturing. We support cannabis cultivation, processing, extraction, and analytical lab facilities across BC.
British Columbia's universities and colleges operate some of the most sophisticated research labs in Western Canada — biomedical, chemistry, engineering, and life sciences — including Containment Level 2 (CL2), CL2-Ag (animal containment), and Containment Level 3 (CL3) biocontainment facilities. We certify the cleanrooms, BSCs, fume hoods, laminar flow equipment, and containment systems that keep these programs running safely and to standard.
Food processing, beverage production, wineries, breweries, and refineries all operate environments where particulate, air quality, and HEPA-filtered equipment matter — and where compliance, contamination control, and process integrity are critical to product quality and worker safety.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing, academic research, food & beverage, general contractors, industrial facilities — the full list runs to 15+ sectors. Get in touch.
Clean Air Monitoring is British Columbia's only locally-staffed CETA-Registered cleanroom certification team — trusted by health authorities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, national research facilities, and law enforcement agencies across Western Canada.
Clean Air Monitoring was founded to bring something British Columbia didn't have: a locally-staffed CETA-Registered cleanroom certification team. BC has had cleanroom and equipment certification vendors for years — but until CAM, none combined CETA-Registered personnel with technicians who actually live and work in the province.
We're based in Langley, BC, and our technicians live and work here. When a hospital pharmacy in Squamish needs an urgent recertification, we're a drive away. When a TRIUMF cleanroom needs immediate attention, we respond same-day. And when clients need us further afield — in the territories, on the Prairies, or across the country — we travel.
That local presence, paired with national reach, has built relationships with some of Canada's most regulated organizations: major BC health authorities, McKesson, Shoppers Drug Mart, Zymeworks, TRIUMF, RCMP forensic units, Government of Yukon labs, and many more.
We're not the biggest cleanroom certification company in Canada. We're the most responsive one in BC — and that's exactly what our clients say keeps them with us.
We're the only CETA-Registered cleanroom team based in British Columbia, with an RCP-SCF (Registered Certification Professional — Sterile Compounding Facilities) credential held in-house — and we're ready to travel anywhere in Canada. We're also NSF-accredited for biosafety cabinet certification. Based in Langley, our technicians live in BC and travel routes optimized for our clients' geography. Lower Mainland response in 24–48 hours, with scheduled travel coast to coast.

Clean Air Monitoring is the only locally-staffed CETA-Registered cleanroom certification team in British Columbia. Every credential below is held in-house, actively maintained, and verifiable through the issuing body. Certificate copies, registration numbers, and expiry dates are available on request as part of any vendor onboarding or procurement review.
A CAM technician performing a HEPA integrity test in a cleanroom.
Issued by the CETA National Board of Testing (CNBT), the RCP-SCF is the credential that authorizes a cleanroom professional to certify sterile compounding facilities to industry standards. It requires two formal examinations — a multiple choice exam and a written practical — plus documented field experience in sterile compounding facility certification.
NSF International's accreditation program authorizes field certifiers to test biosafety cabinets to the NSF/ANSI 49 standard — the global standard governing Class II biosafety cabinet performance. Accreditation requires passing NSF-administered exams, ongoing field competency reviews, and adherence to NSF's accredited certifier program requirements.
ISO 9001:2015 is the international standard for quality management systems. Clean Air Monitoring holds an active ISO 9001:2015 certificate covering the provision and certification of HEPA filter systems, and the collection of air and surface samples for testing, analysis, and reporting. Our operations — from field procedures to documentation, customer service, and continuous improvement — are independently audited against this standard.
Our personnel hold active RCMP security clearance, granted following background investigations conducted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. This clearance authorizes our team to work inside restricted federal facilities, forensic identification units, evidence rooms, and controlled-substance handling environments.
Beyond our certifications, CAM technicians maintain active memberships in the leading industry bodies governing cleanroom and controlled-environment testing.
CAM operates to the Canadian regulatory frameworks governing cleanroom and equipment testing — with international and US standards referenced where Canadian frameworks point to them.
