The staged installation and commissioning of LIPAc is ongoing at Rokkasho Fusion Institute of QST, Japan for validating the low energy section of the IFMIF deuteron accelerator up to 9 MeV. The LIPAc Superconducting Radio Frequency accelerator (SRF) cryomodule is assembled under the responsibility of the EU Home Team, and the assembly work recently started at Rokkasho in March 2019. To fulfil the cleanliness requirements for the assembly process, QST took the responsibility to prepare the infrastructure of a cleanroom and associated devices. In this present paper, the details of the preparation work for the cryomodule assembly made by QST will be presented.
