Biological Safety Cabinet Certification

Biological safety cabinet certification consists of a series of tests designed to verify that the cabinet is performing within operating parameters established by the manufacturer.

To assure that a biological safety cabinet is operating as intended, each cabinet should be field tested at the time of installation and at least annually thereafter. Cabinets should be re-certified whenever HEPA filters are changed, internal maintenance is performed, or a cabinet is relocated.

NSF International (NSF) and International Air Filtration Certifiers Association (IAFCA) sponsor certifier accreditation programs. Accredited certifiers have demonstrated proficiency at testing biological safety cabinets by successfully completing written and/or practical examinations.
