Laboratory furniture - Recommendations for design and installation - Part 1: General
This document is applicable to biology, chemistry and physics laboratories where research, preparative, analytical, process activities take place and which can involve work with hazardous substances, including higher education (college and university teaching and post-graduate research).
This document does not cover the requirements of schools, i.e. pre college/pre-university (refer to EN 13150), or highly specialist laboratories which need very specific, bespoke solutions to enable them to function.
This document specifies requirements for installation and design of laboratory benches, associated storage units, and for the provision and connection of services integral or delivered to the laboratory benches. This document gives guidelines for all parties involved in the planning, design, manufacture, installation, testing of a new laboratory or in the refurbishment of an existing laboratory.
For safety storage cabinets for flammable liquids EN 14470-1 and for pressurized gas cylinders EN 14470-2 applies.
Laboreinrichtungen - Empfehlungen für Anordnung und Montage - Teil 1: Allgemeines
Dieses Dokument gilt für biologische, chemische und physikalische Labore, in denen Forschungs-, Präparations-, Analyse-, Prozesstätigkeiten, unter anderem im Hochschulwesen (in der Ausbildung an Fach- und Hochschulen und der Postgraduierten-Forschung), durchgeführt werden, die den Umgang mit Gefahrstoffen einschließen können.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit den Anforderungen von Schulen, d. h. vor der Hochschulausbildung (siehe EN 13150) oder hoch spezialisierten Fachlaboren, für deren Funktionsfähigkeit sehr spezifische, bedarfsangepasste Lösungen erforderlich sind.
Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen fest für die Montage und Auslegung von Labortischen, zugehörigen Aufbewahrungselementen sowie für die Bereitstellung und den Anschluss von Medien, wobei die Medienversorgung entweder in die Labortische integriert ist oder durch Zuführung erfolgt. Die in diesem Dokument enthaltenen Leitlinien richten sich an alle Parteien, die an Planung, Gestaltung, Bau, Montage und Prüfung eines neuen Labors oder am Umbau eines bestehenden Labors beteiligt sind.
Für feuerwiderstandsfähige Lagerschränke für entflammbare Flüssigkeiten gilt EN 14470-1 und für druckbeaufschlagte Gasflaschen gilt EN 14470-2.
Mobilier de laboratoire - Recommandations de conception et d'installation - Partie 1 : Généralités
Le présent document s’applique aux laboratoires de biologie, de chimie et de physique où se déroulent des activités de recherche, de préparation, d’analyse et de processus et qui peuvent impliquer des travaux avec des substances dangereuses, y compris l’enseignement supérieur (enseignement collégial et universitaire et recherche post-universitaire).
Le présent document ne couvre pas les exigences des écoles, c’est-à-dire pré-collège/pré-université (voir l’EN 13150), ou des laboratoires hautement spécialisés qui ont besoin de solutions sur mesure très spécifiques pour leur permettre de fonctionner.
Le présent document spécifie les exigences pour l’installation et la conception des paillasses de laboratoire, des unités de stockage associées, ainsi que pour la fourniture et le raccordement des services intégrés ou livrés aux paillasses de laboratoire. Le présent document donne des lignes directrices à l’intention de toutes les parties impliquées dans la planification, la conception, la fabrication, l’installation, les essais d’un nouveau laboratoire ou dans la rénovation d’un laboratoire existant.
Pour les armoires de stockage de sécurité pour liquides inflammables, l’EN 14470-1 et pour les armoires de stockage de sécurité pour bouteilles de gaz comprimé, l’EN 14470-2 s'applique.
