When to Schedule Fume Hood Performance Checks?

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements specify that chemical fume hoods must undergo performance testing at least once per year. In addition, any newly installed hood should be verified before it is placed into service to ensure proper operation.

Reevaluation is also advised whenever modifications or adjustments are made to the equipment.

Overview of Fume Hood Evaluation

Our testing program includes inflow face velocity profiling and airflow smoke pattern evaluations. These services demonstrate how effectively air is captured at the hood’s face, verifying that the unit is performing as intended to prevent exposure and protect operator safety.

By having your fume hoods tested through our program, your company not only meets regulatory compliance requirements but also reinforces a culture of safety and reliability in the workplace. Regular testing ensures confidence that your equipment is operating at peak performance and safeguarding your team.
