Laboratory fume hoods are critical containment devices designed to capture and exhaust hazardous vapors, dust, and toxic fumes away from personnel. Over time, airflow imbalance or mechanical wear can compromise containment performance. Integra Testing provides certified fume hood testing, face velocity profiling, and containment evaluations to keep your facility safe, operational, and audit-ready.

Routine fume hood testing protects lab technicians from chemical exposure and verifies that exhaust systems operate within required parameters. Professional testing delivers verified documentation required for internal EHS standards and regulatory audits, including OSHA 1910.1450, ASHRAE 110, SEFA, and ANSI/AIHA Z9.5 guidelines.

Key Benefits of Fume Hood Certification:

• Operator Safety: Prevents hazardous chemical spillage and exposure in breathing zones.

• Velocity Profiling: Accurate face velocity measurements across all working sash heights.

• Containment Verification: Smoke visualization and ASHRAE 110 containment checks.

• Audit Documentation: Immediate on-site compliance tagging and detailed digital inspection reports.

• System Efficiency: Early identification of exhaust fan wear, belt slip, and airflow drops.
