Testing and other laboratories often are the heaviest users of standards. So a new document specifically geared to improve laboratory protocol needs to be greeted with interest. Document Center Inc. now has the new AIHA Z9.5 2012 Edition, “Laboratory Ventilation,” available for purchase.
Laboratories will benefit from this updated outline of laboratory ventilation requirements and practices. The standard’s chapters include performance tests, air cleaning, preventive maintenance, and work practices. Additionally, five appendices covering definitions, terms and units are included.
Changes from the previous edition are found in Section 2.1.2 – Laboratory (Room) Ventilation Rate and Section 2.1.3 – Dilution Ventilation. The new standard also gives a range of what is typically used in the industry as compared to providing any strict guidance for minimum or recommended lab ACH level.
This new revision will be of interest to those involved in laboratory management, including chemical hygiene officers, campus and institutional health and safety staff, industrial hygienists, and environmental health and safety staff.
