This Standard details requirements for performance testing as well as field certification testing. This edition of the Standard (NSF/ANSI 49-2016) includes the following re

24、visions: Issue 45 Changes were made to Annex G covering the addition of Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide as a decontamination agent in Biosafety Cabinetry, as well as clarifying the use of Chlorine Dioxide . Issue 56 Language in section 6.14 was added regarding certification to IEC 61010-1 or a national

25、standard based on it. Issue 73 The newly designated C1 BSC was incorporated into the Standard. Issue 76 Updated language was added referencing audible and visual alarms. Issue 78 Metric conversions throughout the Standard were reviewed and updated. Issue 79 Decontamination procedures in Annex G were

26、 updated. Issue 81 This issue updated Annex E. Issue 86 Updates were made in Annex A to the incubation time and temperature prior to the micro check. Issue 88 Language in section 5.32 regarding cabinet height and width was removed. Issue 90 Redundancies about sliding sash alarms in subsections 5.19.

27、4 and 5.25.1 were removed. Issue 96 Language involving preparation of the spore suspension of Bacillus atrophaeus 9372 in Annex A was updated. Issue 99 The soap bubble leak test in Annex A was revised. This Standard was developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Biosafety Cabinetry using the consensus

28、process described by the American National Standards Institute. 2 The information contained in this Foreword is not part of this American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSIs requirements for an ANS.

31、ign, Construction, Performance, and Field Certification 1 General 1.1 Scope This Standard applies to Class II (laminar flow) biosafety cabinetry designed to minimize hazards inherent in work with agents assigned to biosafety levels 1, 2, 3, or 4. It also defines the tests that shall be passed by suc

32、h cabinetry to meet this Standard. This Standard includes basic requirements for the design, construction, and performance of biosafety cabinets that are intended to provide personnel, product, and environmental protection; reliable operation; durability and structural stability; cleanability; limit

33、ations on noise level; illumination; vibration; and motor/blower performance. 1.2 Minimum requirements Cabinets qualifying under this Standard shall have passed all of the designated tests. Units with component parts covered under existing NSF standards or criteria shall conform to those applicable

34、requirements. 1.3 Variations in design and construction Cabinetry varying in design, construction, or installation of accessory equipment may qualify under this Standard, if appropriate tests and investigations indicate that the equipment is durable and reliable, can be cleaned and decontaminated, a

35、nd performs in conformance to this Standard. Such equipment shall meet the requirements for materials and finishes in this Standard. Major modifications require appropriate tests for conformance. Major modifications include, but are not limited to, changes in the following: location or capacity or q

36、uantity or all three of blower/motor(s); size or design or both of air plenums; position of High Efficiency Particulate Air/Ultra Low Penetrating Air (HEPA/ULPA) filters; position or redesign of work surface; work area intake and exhaust air grilles; window placement or design; access opening size;

37、location and size of exhaust port; and built-in accessory equipment (centrifuges, ultraviolet lighting, supports for intravenous drug container, arm rests, etc.). Relocation of utility service equipment (electrical outlets, petcocks, etc.) is not considered a major modification if other provisions o

38、f this Standard are not compromised. 2 Normative references The following documents contain requirements that, by reference in this text, constitute requirements of this Standard.
