NEBB -- Procedural Standards for Fume Hood Performance Testing

Fume hoods and other safety control environments, such as bio-safety cabinets, offer a distinct set of challenges to the firms and individuals testing the field performance of these specialized, containment enclosures. This NEBB standard builds upon and compliments ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 110-1995 Method of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods and ANSI/AIHA Standard Z9.5 Laboratory Ventilation.

The NEBB Procedural Standard and associated NEBB Fume Hood Testing program define the requirements for firm certification, for Certified Professional educational and experience requirements, for reporting consistencies, and for instrumentation requirements.

It is divided into two parts: Standards and Procedures. They are intended as the minimum NEBB requirements that a FHT Firm shall follow when performing fume hood testing and reporting the results.
