If you buy a safety cabinet from LabMakelaar Benelux BV, you will receive a test report. All cabinets are subjected to a quick test by us before they are transported. This way, you can be sure that the most vital parts of the cabinet are working when the cabinet leaves our warehouse. The quick test consists of a check on the following components:
• Integrity profile (HEPA/ULPA filter test)
• Air velocity measurements
• Flow profile
• Check alarm systems
The guidelines for these procedures are described in: EN 12469:2000.
In addition to this quick test, we always recommend a full validation when the safety cabinet is installed at your home.
It is important that the safety cabinet is checked regularly.
This check is called a validation and is laid down in the NEN-EN 12469 (2000) standard. This standard describes the performance requirements of a microbiological safety cabinet and the tests that must be performed during a validation.
There are fixed moments when a validation must take place. Namely before the first use, when changing the location of the safety cabinet and before the annual inspection.
Your purchase should be tested before you start working with it to ensure it meets your requirements and that your employees can work safely.
If you would like more information about the quick test or about a validation, please visit our website.
