Appendix III.
Monitoring the Airone R Range
This fume cupboard is a ‘portable appliance’, powered by mains electricity and it complies
with EN-BS-61010. The correct fuse must be fitted to the mains plug and this and other parts
of the electrical system should be examined frequently for obvious damage. There should be
regular formal inspections including earth bonding and insulation testing. Only suitably
trained electricians should carry out this testing. Live electrical components could be
exposed.
The minimum requirement to comply with COSHH Regulations is that the face velocities and
filter efficiencies must be yearly monitored (at least once every 14 months) and a written
record kept of the results. There are tables printed on back-pages of the Operational Safety
Log-Book suitable for keeping these records.
SAFELAB SYSTEMS recommend that a simple air-sampling test be carried out once a week at
eye-and-mouth level and/or at the outflow port of the AIRONE Fume Cupboard - utilising an
appropriate GASTEC Chemical Detector Tube - recording any result in the Operational Safety
Log-Book.
It is also recommended that the prefilter be replaced at last once every 6 months. The 6
months span represents a more suitable period between filter-monitoring checks.
SAFELAB SYSTEMS offer Service Contracts for regular filter-monitoring and servicing of all
AIRONE Filtration Fume Cupboards. Please phone our Service Department for details.
