that matter.
Testing is executed exactly as prescribed by NSF/ANSI 49, ASHRAE-110, and complementary ventilation guidance.
49
NSF/ANSI
NSF/ANSI 49
Defines protective performance for Class II biological safety cabinets, including downflow, inflow, and HEPA integrity criteria.
110
ASHRAE
ASHRAE-110
Establishes tracer gas methodologies to quantify containment effectiveness of laboratory fume hoods in real-world conditions.
Z9.5
ANSI
ANSI Z9.5
Guidance for laboratory ventilation design, commissioning, and recurring verification across research facilities.
Approach
Repeatable process,
audit-ready results.
Every engagement follows a transparent playbook so stakeholders always know what comes next.
1
Evaluate
Review equipment history, previous deficiencies, and site readiness so certification is efficient and disruption-free.
2
Test
Execute NSF/ANSI 49 and ASHRAE-110 protocols with calibrated instrumentation and real-time visibility for stakeholders.
3
Document
Deliver digital certificates, raw data, and punch lists within 10 business days of on-site time conclusion to streamline CAPA closure and audits.
