Testing of safety cabinets

Progress in the laboratory

We have been operating our laboratory since 2002, where we carry out tests on safety cabinets and ventilation systems. This makes us a trendsetter in this field. We are one of the few manufacturers in Europe to carry out the globally recognised microbiological testing method for testing the protective functions of safety cabinets in accordance with DIN EN 12469, DIN 12980 and NSF/ANSI 49 in our own laboratory as part of quality assurance, research and development.

Perfect personal protection

From the point of view of occupational health and safety, the most important task of a safety cabinet is the retention capacity at the work opening or the personal protection. Particulate bio- and hazardous substances must not be allowed to escape from the workspace in unacceptable quantities and endanger the user.

Maximum carryover protection

Your product or experiment must be protected from cross-contamination from the environment. Unwanted airborne contaminants must be quickly removed from the work area.

Reliable product protection

Product protection is essential to ensure adequate manufacturing and experimentation conditions. Particles from the environment must not enter the workspace in unacceptable numbers.

Further examinations and tests

We carry out the following tests on safety cabinets and their components within the scope of standard-compliant tests and tests that go beyond these:


  • Measurement of noise development
  • Vibration measurement
  • Measurement of illuminance in the workspace
  • Measurement of the roughness of work surfaces
  • Measuring the intensity of UV-C sources
  • Testing of safety cabinets during operation on exhaust air systems
  • Testing of safety cabinets during operation under positive and negative pressure conditions
  • Testing of safety cabinets during operation in various room ventilation situations
  • Testing the effect of interference on the operation of safety cabinets
