Legal Requirements for Fume Cupboard Testing

Post by MariaC »

:D Hi All,

I've looked at lots of posts on this site re fume cupboard testing, but am wondering does anyone out there have the standards relevant to this, and has anyone actually seen that this has to be done yearly in a school setting? We have three cupboards, service $870- plus GST, one has never been used, one other only used approx 4 times a year. Only one gets any regular used, it seems overkill and expensive to have to test all three annually :-( I tried to look up the standard to read it, but had to pay $148- for the standard! I'd really like to see it in print before committing the school to this yearly expense.

Cheers MariaC
