Why BSC Certification is Critical
A biological safety cabinet (BSC) is a crucial piece of laboratory equipment designed to protect personnel, products, and the environment from exposure to biohazards. However, BSCs only provide this protection when properly tested and certified.
Reasons your NY lab needs BSC certification:
- Ensures compliance with federal, state, and industry regulations
- Protects lab staff from exposure to hazardous materials
- Maintains product integrity by minimizing contamination
- Safeguards the environment from biohazard leaks
- Required for NSF/ANSI 49 compliance and pharmacy regulations
Does Your NY Lab Need BSC Certification?
In order to verify that the cabinet provides protection to your product, personnel, and environment, field certification is essential. Furthermore, BSCs need certification when it is installed, relocated, after maintenance, or after changing the HEPA filters. Furthermore, the biosafety cabinet will need to be certified at regular intervals thereafter. For example, NSF 49 recommends no more than 12 months between certification. As another example, pharmacies will certify their biosafety cabinets every 6 months, due to their unique requirements.
When Certification is Required
- After installation of a new biosafety cabinet
- When a BSC is relocated
- Following maintenance or repair
- After HEPA filter replacement
- On a scheduled basis:
- Every 12 months per NSF/ANSI 49 standards
- Every 6 months for pharmacies (USP <797> compliance)
Tests Performed for Certification:
SEPS follows strict NSF/ANSI 49 guidelines when performing BSC certification. Each test provides assurance that your biosafety cabinet is functioning as intended.
With BSC certification by SEPS, the following tests will be performed. The values that these tests will show must correlate to the value provided by the BSC manufacturer for your lab’s particular make and model.
| Test | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Inflow velocity test | Provides personal protection |
| Down flow velocity test | Provides product protection |
| Hepa filter leak test | Provides protection to your working agents and room environment |
| Smoke visualization test | Verifies proper airflow direction |
| Site installation test & alarm calibration | Required on Levels 1 & 2 biosafety cabinets only |
| Light intensity test | Assures sufficient light to prevent operator fatigue |
| UV light test | Assures UV bulb is providing proper sterilization |
| Electrical safety test | Assures that the unit is electrically safe for worker use |
| Sound test | Verifies that the use of the biosafety cabinet will not contribute to workers fatigue |
Optional BSC Tests:
For labs with specialized requirements, SEPS offers additional testing options:
- Vibration Testing – Prevents sample damage from vibration
- Viable and Non-Viable Particle Count – See our Cleanroom Testing Services for more details
- Pressure Decay and Cabinet Integrity Test – Ensures no contamination escapes through welds or joints
