COMPLIANCE & SAFETY

What it meets

ASHRAE 110 containment-testing references, SEFA fume hood guidance, UL-related electrical review where applicable, and ANSI/AIHA Z9.5 and NFPA 45 planning context.

Why it matters

Helps specifiers and safety reviewers evaluate containment, airflow performance, electrical components, and documentation for chemical handling environments.

Where it applies

Recommended for laboratories where chemical fume containment and ventilation review are required. Final applicability depends on hood series, configuration, building systems, and local review.

You receive pricing + lead time + next steps

Is this quote-only?

Yes. Fume hoods should be quoted by configuration because width, liner, sash, services, blower, and base/countertop selections affect the final product.

Are blowers included?

Blowers are listed as optional equipment and should be sized to the hood and ductwork.

Can dimensions be customized?

Standard sizes are available on the cut sheets; custom sizes are available where noted and must be validated by iQ Labs.
