9、sh Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Sector Committee for Materials and Chemicals (I/-) by Technical Committee LBI/18, Laboratory furniture and fittings. It has been prepared in response to calls from industry for a standard for fume cupboards of the filtration type, which are no

10、t covered by BS 7258. It was intended originally that this work should be undertaken as part of the European (CEN) programme of work on fume cupboard standards, but this proved unfeasible in the short term. The structure of BS 7258 has been used to some extent in this British Standard and, where pos

11、sible, identical requirements have been specified. However, this British Standard should be considered as essentially separate and distinct from BS 7258. Attention is also drawn to Building Bulletin 88 1, issued by the Department for Education and Employment in 1998. Whenever a fume cupboard is used

12、, it is necessary for the purchaser and/or user to assess the hazards associated with the materials to be manipulated, to ensure that the fume cupboard is satisfactory for its intended purpose and that current exposure limits for toxic substances are not exceeded. Annex A and Annex B are informative

13、. Annex C and Annex D are normative. This British Standard calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health at any s

14、tage. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comp

The BSI copyright notice displayed in this document indicates when the document was last issued.BS 7989:2001 BSI 07-2001 1 Introduction The purpose of a recirculatory filtration fume cup

16、board is to contain a pollutant or pollutants released from a source or sources within the fume cupboard and, by a filtering device, to reduce substantially the concentration of specified pollutants prior to recirculating the air back to the room. These devices should only be used with pollutants of

17、 documented hazard, which permits the selection of appropriate filter(s). NOTE Several of the tests described in this British Standard require the use of hazardous substances. Appropriate risk assessment should be made and suitable precautions taken at all times. 1 Scope This British Standard specif

18、ies requirements for fume cupboards designed to recirculate air back to the room after filtering out specified pollutants. This British Standard does not specify requirements for fume cupboards of the type dealt with in BS 7258. This British Standard is not applicable to recirculatory filtration fum

19、e cupboards of the following types: recirculatory filtration fume cupboards for work on radioactive materials; recirculatory filtration fume cupboards for work on microbiological agents; high thermal load recirculatory filtration fume cupboards; recirculatory filtration fume cupboards employing wet

20、scrubbing systems. This British Standard is not intended to apply to small enclosures intended only for applications such as weighing, in which the filter retention capacity is likely to be small. 2 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated reference, provisions from other pu

21、blications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

28、isks of explosion); c) chemical activity (including corrosion); d) discomfort, e.g. lachrymosis, objectionable odours. NOTE In the field of environmental pollution, fume is defined as an aerosol of solid particles, usually from metallurgical processes, generated by condensation from the gaseous stat

47、within the enclosure; c) providing some protection to the user against splashing of hazardous substances and minor explosions.
