Polymerase Chain Reaction Cabinets
1.3.2.4
Light Intensity Test
A light intensity meter was used to measure light intensity at work surface level of the cabinet:
Distance from walls = a (mm) (in)
Distance apart = x (mm) (in)
Distance from walls = b (mm) (in)
Average light reading: lux (ft.-candles)
Acceptance: Average light reading should be at least 975 lux (91 ft-candles) for PCR 3A
Average light reading should be at least 1230 lux (114 ft-candles) for PCR 4A
Results: Pass / Fail
Acceptance criteria / testing procedures have been adopted in accordance with the requirements of the: IEST-
RP-CC002.3 Section 6.10 and AS 1807.15 “Illuminance (Lightning Intensity)”
