Fume cupboards - Part 4: On-site test methods

This Part 4 of the European Standard specifies a selection of on-site test methods for the following fume cupboards:
- Fume cupboards designed in accordance with Part 2 of this European Standard and type tested in accordance with Part 3 of this European Standard.
- Fume cupboards designed in accordance with Part 2 of this European Standard and not type tested.
- General purpose fume cupboards designed in accordance with Part 2 of this European Standard which are used under  customer-specific conditions, such as for the handling of very toxic substancies or bulky load of the work space.
The test methods are designed to be used at the place of installation of the fume cupboard, usually a laboratory. They are used for commissioning after installation, maintenance and qualification purposes.

Abzüge - Teil 4: Vor-Ort Prüfverfahren

Dieses Dokument beschreibt eine Auswahl von Vor-Ort-Prüfverfahren für folgende Allgebrauchsabzüge:
-   Abzüge, die nach EN 14175-2 konstruiert sind, und die nach EN 14175-3 baumustergeprüft sind.
-   Abzüge, die nach EN 14175-2 konstruiert sind, jedoch ohne eine Baumusterprüfung.
Die Prüfverfahren sind zur Verwendung am Ort der Installation des Abzugs geeignet, üblicherweise ein Labor. Sie werden zur Inbetriebnahme nach der Installation, zur Wartung und zum Zweck der Qualifizierung angewendet. Für besondere Anwenderanforderungen können zusätzliche oder geänderte Prüfverfahren notwendig sein.
Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Abnehmers oder Anwenders eines Abzugs festzulegen, welche Prüfungen durchgeführt werden sollen. Die Inbetriebnahmeprüfung kann aus den Baumusterprüfverfahren zusammengestellt und entsprechend durchgeführt werden. Bei der Wiederholungsprüfung kann die Zahl der Prüfverfahren weiter reduziert werden.

Sorbonnes - Partie 4: Méthodes d'essai sur site

Le présent document spécifie une sélection de méthodes d'essai sur site pour les sorbonnes d'usage général suivantes :
-   sorbonnes conçues selon la partie 2 de la présente Norme européenne et ayant subi un essai de type selon la partie 3 de la présente Norme européenne ;
-   sorbonnes conçues selon la partie 2 de la présente Norme européenne et n'ayant pas subi d'essai de type.
Les méthodes d'essai sont conçues pour etre utilisées sur le lieu d'installation de la sorbonne, généralement en laboratoire. Elles sont utilisées pour des besoins de réception apres l'installation, de maintenance et de qualification. Pour satisfaire les exigences de certains clients, des méthodes d'essai supplémentaires ou modifiées peuvent etre nécessaires.
Il est de la responsabilité de l'acheteur ou de l'utilisateur de sorbonne de décider quels essais seront a réaliser. L'essai de réception peut etre sélectionné ou réalisé a partir des méthodes d'essai de type. Pour un essai de routine, le nombre de méthodes d'essai sélectionnées peut etre réduit.

1 Scope
This document specifies a selection of on-site test methods for the following general purpose fume cupboards:
 Fume cupboards designed in accordance with Part 2 of this European Standard and type tested in accordance
with Part 3 of this European Standard.
 Fume cupboards designed in accordance with Part 2 of this European Standard and not type tested.
The test methods are designed to be used at the place of installation of the fume cupboard, usually a laboratory.
They are used for commissioning after installation, for maintenance and for qualification purposes. For certain
customer requirements additional or modified test methods may be necessary.
It is in the responsibility of the purchaser or user of a fume cupboard to decide which tests are to be performed. The
commissioning testing can be selected and carried out from the type test methods. For routine testing, the number
of test methods selected can be further reduced.

5 Commissioning testing of type tested fume cupboards
5.1 Scope and purpose
The following test methods are considered to be appropriate for the commissioning test after installation of a fume
cupboard which has been type tested in accordance with EN 14175-3 before installation. It is the aim of
commissioning testing to show the correct installation of the fume cupboard and to check adverse effects of the
room air flow and of the extract system on the performance of the installed empty fume cupboard under its intended
design conditions.
The final purpose and extent of the commissioning test should be agreed upon between purchaser and supplier.
5.2 Inspections
5.2.1 Inspections are usually optical inspections, if appropriate, aided by simple measurement equipment, such
as tape-measure. The following items should be proven by inspection.
5.2.2 Observance of the manufacturer's installation instructions (see EN 14175-2:2003, 10b).
5.2.3 Protection against splashes (see EN 14175-3:2003, 6.3)
5.2.4 Sash suspension and sash stop (see EN 14175-3:2003, 6.1 and 6.4)
5.2.5 Sash displacement force (see EN 14175-3:2003, 6.2)
5.2.6 Conformity of the fume cupboard to the type tested unit
5.2.7 Services (see EN 14175-2:2003, Clause 9)
5.2.8 Materials (see EN 14175-2:2003, Clause 6)
5.2.9 Correct mechanical assembling and integrity after installation
5.2.10 Pressure relief if supplied (see EN 14175-2:2003, 7.2.4)
5.2.11 Accessibility of construction parts (see EN 14175-2:2003, 7.2.5)
5.3 Manufacturer's declarations or type test certification
5.3.1 The following items shall be covered by manufacturer's declarations.
5.3.1.1 Lighting (see EN 14175-2:2003, 9.4)
5.3.1.2 Services
5.3.1.3 Materials
5.3.2 The following items shall be proven by the type test certificate of the fume cupboard.
5.3.2.1 Containment (see EN 14175-3:2003, 5.3)
5.3.2.2 Robustness of containment (see EN 14175-3:2003, 5.4)
