World-Class Forensic Infrastructure
Stellar delivers end-to-end Class 100 clean room laboratory infrastructure for law enforcement, forensic science laboratories, and central investigation agencies across India. Built to international ISO 14644 standards and aligned with Section 79A of the Information Technology Act 2000, a Stellar-built government forensic lab enables your agency to handle physical and digital evidence with unmatched integrity, security, and legal admissibility.
Section 79A • Information Technology Act 2000
The Government of India, under Section 79A of the IT Act, empowers the notification of bodies as Examiners of Electronic Evidence. Infrastructure meeting prescribed quality standards — including certified clean room capability for physical media — is a key component of recognised forensic examiner status, directly supporting the admissibility of digital evidence in Indian courts. Stellar's lab infrastructure is specifically designed to fulfil this requirement.

Three-Zone Clean Room Architecture
Stellar designs and installs a layered clean room system — three progressively cleaner environments — each serving a distinct operational role in the digital forensics workflow.
CLASS 10,000
Personnel preparation and transition area. Controls initial contamination before entering cleaner environments.
- ESD wrist strap & footwear testing
- Anti-static flooring & entry mats
- Personnel decontamination protocols
- CCTV-monitored access control
- Pressure differential management
CLASS 100 ★
The most critical zone — under 100 particles/ft³ (ISO Class 5). Required for opening hard disks, head/platter transplant & physical media surgery.
- HEPA filtration (<100 particles/ft³)
- ISO Class 5 certified environment
- ESD-safe workbenches & chairs
- Head/platter transplant capability
- Positive pressure airflow system
- Real-time particle monitoring
- Fire-resistant MS door + access control
CLASS 1,000
Intermediate laboratory space for firmware recovery, SSD chip-off, RAID reconstruction, and logical evidence processing.
- HDD, SSD, RAID recovery workstations
- Firmware repair & diagnosis tools
- Flash media & mobile device recovery
- Climate-controlled (VRV/VRF system)
- Fire suppression system installed
What Stellar Installs & Maintains
Every component of the clean room ecosystem is sourced, installed, validated, and maintained by Stellar — delivering a fully operational forensic lab under one responsibility.
HEPA Filtration System
High-efficiency particulate air filtration achieving Class 100 (ISO 5) purity — fewer than 100 particles per cubic foot at 0.5 microns. Continuous monitoring with real-time particle counters ensures environment integrity at all times.
VRV/VRF Climate Control
Variable Refrigerant Volume/Flow systems with precision AHUs, circulation fans, and specialized filtration maintain controlled airflow, temperature, and humidity. Keeps the clean room environment stable 24/7.
Fire Protection & Suppression
Clean agent (FM-200 / inert gas) fire suppression designed for electronics environments. Extinguishes fires without water damage to evidence. Integrated smoke detectors, thermal sensors, and automated suppression.
ESD-Safe Workbench Environment
Anti-static bench surfaces, ESD chairs, grounded wrist straps, heel grounders, and ionizing blowers. Wrist strap & footwear testers at all entry points verify compliance before personnel enter.
Secure Access Control
MS fire-resistant security door with biometric/card-based access control. Every entry and exit is logged, timestamped, and auditable — critical for chain-of-custody documentation in forensic proceedings.
Donor Drive Library
Comprehensive repository of compatible donor drives and PCBs — SATA, PATA, USB, SAS/SCSI, SSD (M.2, mSATA, LIF/ZIF), RAID, and flash media — enabling same-family replacement without procurement delays.

FAQs
We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.
A Class 100 clean room is an environment containing fewer than 100 particles per cubic foot (ISO Class 5). Hard disk drives must be opened only in this environment — any contamination at the platter surface level causes permanent data loss. For forensic labs processing physical evidence, it is mandatory for both technical and legal reasons.
The lab supports Section 79A requirements by providing a secure and controlled environment for digital evidence handling, forensic examination, preservation, and reporting.
A basic lab can be set up in approximately 100–150 sq. ft. A full forensic clean room lab may require 200–350 sq. ft. or more.
Yes. Stellar provides installation support, technical assistance, software updates, troubleshooting, maintenance, and training support.
A standard forensic lab may take 6–8 weeks. A complete forensic clean room and damaged-media recovery lab may take 14–16 weeks.
Existing staff can operate the lab after proper training. Dedicated trained manpower is recommended for advanced recovery cases and continuous operations.
