Fume Cupboards: For High Heat and Acidic Load

摘要

In June 2012, the standard DIN EN 14175-7:2012 - Fume cupboards: Fume cupboards for high heat and acidic load (special application fume cupboards), the seventh part of the European series of EN 14175 standards was issued. The new standard deals with fume cupboards for special applications, including high heat and/or acidic load. These special applications require additional design, safety, operation and maintenance properties apart from those already stipulated in the DIN EN 14175-1 to DIN EN 14175-6 standards. Utilization of these special application fume cupboards instead of general purpose fume cupboards is usually the result of a risk assessment. In the following an overview of the standard's composition in structure and content and the requirements necessary in such special application fume cupboards for working with high heat load and acidic works will be given.
