Founded 2010

Founded in 2010, EKO HVOK d.o.o. began delivering HVAC design and installation for commercial buildings. Over time, we evolved into a specialist Life Science consultancy — and a pioneer in industrial laser cleaning technology across Europe.

  • HVAC systems compliant to ISO 14644
  • Air filtration consultancy
  • CleanRoom Design & Build support
  • Facility classification
  • Validation guidance
  • Laser cleaning services

Today we provide ISO 14644-compliant HVAC systems, air filtration consultancy, cleanroom design and build support, facility classification, validation guidance, and pulsed fiber laser cleaning services — all within GMP/cGMP quality frameworks.

We operate across Ireland, Switzerland, Italy and Croatia, working within the quality systems of the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies.

What is ISO 14644? Cleanroom Classification Explained

ISO 14644-1 defines airborne particulate cleanliness classes for cleanrooms and controlled environments. Understanding classification — from ISO Class 1 (ultra-clean semiconductor fabs) to ISO Class 9 — is essential for GMP facility design, regulatory submission and operational qualification. Key parameters: maximum permitted particle concentrations at 0.1 µm, 0.2 µm, 0.3 µm and 5 µm thresholds, measured by laser particle counters under ISO 14644-2 monitoring protocols.

Laser Cleaning vs. Sandblasting: Which Is Better for Industrial Use?

Pulsed fiber laser cleaning delivers a precision alternative to abrasive blasting — no blast media, no chemical residue, no substrate micro-damage. For regulated environments such as pharmaceutical manufacturing or aerospace MRO, non-contact laser ablation eliminates cross-contamination risk and secondary waste streams entirely, while delivering measurable, repeatable surface cleanliness verified by optical profilometry and XRF analysis.

GMP Cleanroom Design: Key Considerations for Pharma Facilities

Designing a GMP-compliant cleanroom requires alignment with EU GMP Annex 1 (2022 revision) for sterile manufacturing, ISO 14644 classification, and facility-specific URS documentation. Critical design decisions: airflow regime (unidirectional vs. turbulent), HVAC zoning, differential pressure cascade (+15 Pa minimum between grades), HEPA terminal filter placement, and a comprehensive validation protocol strategy spanning DQ, IQ, OQ and PQ phases.

Non-Contact Rust Removal: How Laser Technology Is Changing Industrial Maintenance

Industrial laser rust removal uses focused photon energy — typically 1064 nm Nd:YAG or fiber laser wavelength — to ablate iron oxide (Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄) layers from steel, cast iron and aluminium alloy substrates without mechanical contact, chemical agents or thermal distortion of the base material. The result: a metallically bright surface (Sa 2.5 equivalent) ready for coating, welding or precision measurement, with cycle times 40% faster than traditional abrasive methods and no hazardous waste disposal.
