    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes type test methods for the assessment of safety and performance of fume cupboards.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of the European Standard EN 14175 specifies type test methods for the assessment of safety and performance of fume cupboards. Relevant requirements are specified in Part 2 of this European Standard.

    For terms and their definitions EN 14175-1 applies. For safety and performance requirements of fume cupboards EN 14175-2 applies.

    NOTE For on-site test methods of fume cupboards, Part 4 of this European Standard is in preparation.

    For the testing of microbiological safety cabinets EN 12469 applies.
