Laboratory Safety Storage Cabinet - requirements
Requirements for laboratory safety cabinets in labs, scientific institutions, trades, industries, pharmacies, hospitals or official organisations handling hazardous materials are subject to certain legislation as previously stated. As far as planning, construction and inspection are concerned, these specifications are primarily governed by DIN EN 14470-1 and EN 14470-2. Laboratory safety cabinets are mainly used for holding flammable liquids, gas cylinders, additives, solvents, acids and alkaline solutions, whereby the cabinet must, in the first place, prevent substances stored inside from leading to the spread of fire and provide security against explosions (ex protection).
Fire resistance protection is indicated in groups (minutes): F15, F30, F60, F90. As a rule, laboratory storage cabinets comprise of an inner frame, fire-proof protection, ingoing and outgoing melt-proof locks, fire-proof door seals and forced-closure mechanisms / systems as well as a ground contact. Depending on the type of laboratory storage cabinet, shelves or racks are provided for the storing of chemicals and are also equipped with drip trays. Laboratory Safety cabinets for acids and alkaline solutions are highly immune to corrosion.
Safety Storage Cabinets - with/without technical ventilation
The ventilation in lab safety cabinets in the laboratory or other places where hazardous materials are kept relies on the chemicals to be contained in the cabinets, the ambient atmosphere and the air circulation in the cabinet and the workroom. Under normal operation, lab safety storage cabinets with mechanical ventilation avoid the build-up of a toxic, volatile gas inside the cabinet, which ensures that the outgoing air must be diverted to a risk-free location. Normally this takes place via a link to the exhaust air system, which is accessible to the outside air.
In the event of a fire, a protective cabinet without ventilation will shield the storage material from excessive heat, ignition or volatile mixtures. There must also be no ignition points inside the cabinet. Measures in line with the risk assessment and zone 2 must be taken if this cannot be completely ruled out. A protective cabinet lacking adequate ventilation must be earthed by way of a possible equalization.
Lab Safety Storage Cabinets - inspection
Many regulations apply to the repair and inspection of lab safety cabinets in the laboratory and other safety facilities. In compliance with the Workplace Regulations, the Hazardous Substances Regulations (TRGS 510) and DIN EN 14470 are subject to classification, review, evaluation and evaluating time limits. For this reason, laboratory extractors and lab safety storage cabinets for flammable liquids and pressurized gas cylinders) must be routinely checked by the person authorized to do so. The inspection must involve inspecting the state of the fire protection mechanisms, the insulation, the security seals and the interior of the cabinet for potential corrosion. It is also important to examine the proper functioning of the door closing and locking system and to ensure that explosion protection is preserved. The air exchange / exhaust air flow must be calculated in the case of safety storage cabinets with adequate ventilation.
