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

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.
