Certification
Prior to use, a qualified certifier should certify a biosafety cabinet. Under normal
operating conditions, the cabinet should be recertified at least annually and when
relocated or serviced. The certifier should perform the following tests, as recommended
in NSF/ANSI Standard Number 49 in effect when the cabinet was manufactured:
Downflow Velocity Profile Test
Inflow Velocity Test
Airflow Smoke Patterns
HEPA Filter Leak Test
Optional Canopy Alarm Test and Operation
Vibration Test *
Noise Level Test *
Lighting Intensity Test *
If you have any questions regarding certification agencies or help locating one, contact

Detailed information for product certification is located in the Axiom Type C1 Technical
Manual.
*These tests are user comfort related tests and may be
omitted at the user’s or certifier’s discretion.
