Maintenance and Service for Laboratory Fume Hoods, Canopies, and Safety Cabinets
Laboratories pose a variety of hazards.
Chemicals, acids, alkalis, and solvents are handled, used, and stored daily in laboratories. To ensure that these hazardous substances do not escape into the environment, be inhaled, or lead to dangerous mixtures, reliable laboratory equipment is crucial. This equipment must be regularly maintained and checked for safety standards.
Legislators and SUVA have established clear regulations for safety standards in laboratories with the new EKAS 1871. One of these regulations concerns the regular maintenance of laboratory fume hoods and canopies according to manufacturer specifications. This includes mechanical and air performance tests. At Köttermann AG, for example, we use a comprehensive 6-point measurement to ensure that exhaust air is effectively removed and safely directed outside in accordance with EN 14175. Safety cabinets are also checked for air quality and mechanical integrity. With a detailed maintenance protocol and certificate, our customers can ensure they meet legal requirements and are not held liable in case of an accident.
Adhering to the manufacturer’s prescribed maintenance intervals and utilizing professional risk management services are crucial steps in enhancing laboratory safety. We are happy to assist you with comprehensive advice on hazardous material storage, hazardous material management, and the maintenance and servicing of laboratory fume hoods and canopies.
