✉️ A Message from David Downing – Managing Director
Welcome to the first edition of The Clean Air Brief, our new monthly update where we share insights, projects, and innovation from the team at Approved Air Ltd. As we enter a fresh season, we’re proud to continue supporting NHS Trusts and private clients across the UK with our trusted clean air and validation services.
🔍 Project Spotlight: Siemens Healthineers Partnership
This month, we kicked off an exciting project with Siemens Healthineers, delivering specialist air sampling and DPC testing to support critical healthcare equipment installations. Our commissioning engineers and compliance team worked seamlessly to ensure full regulatory compliance, ahead of schedule.
This marks a key milestone for us — strengthening our role in healthcare innovation and patient safety.
🧰 Engineering Insight: The Power of UCV Entrainment Testing
We’ve expanded our offering with UCV entrainment testing — a vital step in ensuring airflow behaves correctly around operating theatres. When executed properly, this protects patients by minimizing contamination risks in ultra-clean environments.
Our team has also upgraded our testing equipment for even greater accuracy and reporting speed.
👷♂️ Meet the Team: Sam Davis – Engineering Manager
Sam has been with Approved Air for over 5 years and is one of our most trusted lead engineers. From DOP testing to HEPA filter integrity checks, Sam’s deep technical knowledge and calm under pressure are key to our success. “Every site is different,” says Sam, “but the goal is always the same: protect the people who rely on clean air.”
📌 Compliance Corner: Why ISO Standards Matter
We continue to align all operations with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001 standards. These frameworks are more than checklists — they help us deliver repeatable, high-quality service while maintaining full traceability and safety. Our internal audits this quarter have shown 98% compliance across all key validation processes.
🗓️ Looking Ahead
- Upgrades: We’ve launched a full audit of our current equipment across client sites, and purchased the latest equipment at the top of the market.
- New Recruits: Two new commissioning engineers join the team next month, Including two new report writers and a telesales role.
- Event Alert: We’ll be attending the Healthcare Estates Conference (Wales) in May — come and meet us!
🔚 Final Word
Thank you for joining us on this journey — one clean room, one patient-safe environment at a time. If you’d like to discuss a project, validation service, or just want to connect, feel free to reach out directly or follow our page for more.
Let’s keep the air clean, together. — David Downing
