- Compulsory Specification For Microbiological Safety Cabinets (Classes I, II And III)
- Country/Region applying the measure
- South Africa
- The rationale of the measure
- 1.1 This specification covers requirements for the construction, fittings and pre-installation and post- installation performance of class I, class li and class III microbiological safety cabinets (also known as biological safety cabinets) intended to protect the operator and the environment from hazardous microbiological materials and (if so required by the customer or user or both), organic toxins and non-corrosive volatile organic agents.
NOTE - Microbiological safety cabinets are not intended to provide protection against corrosive chemical or radioactive materials.
1 .2 The specification does not cover the actual design of a safety cabinet and in no way restricts new design, provided that a microbiological safety cabinet of a new design complies with the requirements for materials, reliability, performance and safety given in this specification.
NOTE - Microbiological safety cabinets of class I, class II and class III should not be confused with laminar flow
clean workstations that usually discharge horizontally and vertically towards the operator and that do not provide
protection for an operator, but can even increase exposure to airborne hazards. - Coded list of objectives
