Controlled Environment Testing Association

Controlled Environment Testing Association CETA, the Controlled Environment Testing Association, was founded on the principle of quality and that remains its hallmark for the future.

Controlled Environment Testing Association was established Fall 1992. It was developed to promote quality assurance in the industry through the exchange and dissemination of information on certification issues. Controlled Environments include cleanrooms, laminar flow devices, sterile ovens, tunnels, dryers, biological safety cabinets, fume hoods, containment suites, and other similar environments that require precision testing and certification.

The best certification work often starts when something doesn’t look quite right.

What’s a finding from the field that led you to uncover a bigger issue? Share your story below — without naming names, of course.
