Fume Hood Validation

A safe laboratory environment requires an effective method for clearing toxic material from fume hoods.  Since all handling of toxic materials is completed in these hoods, it is critical to have a procedure to evaluate their operation to assure adequate protection for laboratory workers.
A fume hood evaluation conducted under its operational environment is critical, as these tests will indicate any installation shortcomings as well as direct workers in proper laboratory hood techniques.
The most commonly referenced test procedure for determining SF6 at the face of hood is ASHRAE 110-1995, “Method Of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hood” (American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc.)
