Fume Hood Testing
According to the standards set forward by OSHA, chemical fume hood testing should be conducted on an annual basis at a minimum. Additionally, new fume hoods should be tested upon installation prior to utilization. It also is recommended that a reevaluation should be performed any time changes are made to the equipment. This ensures the safety of the occupants within a facility.
HEPA Filter Integrity Testing
HEPA filter integrity testing – documents leakage or defects and ensures HEPA filters provide required filtration to prevent both product and environmental contamination. Smoke pattern testing – qualitatively verifies airflow directions using a small source of visible fog.
