FUME CUPBOARD REGULATIONS

All DENIOS fume cupboards are designed in accordance with current regulations, including EN 14175 and COSHH. To ensure ongoing safety and performance, we also support our customers with servicing options, including airflow testing and filter replacement schedules.

Key safety and performance considerations:

Face Velocity - DENIOS systems are designed to achieve safe, stable face velocities while maintaining user comfort.

Airflow - depending on your requirements, fume cupboards can be designed as either Constant Air Volume (CAV), or Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems.

Maintenance and Testing - to comply with COSHH Regulations, fume cupboards must be examined at least every 14 months. DENIOS offers service plans to support inspection, airflow validation and filter management.

FAQS: FUME CUPBOARDS

1. What is a fume cupboard and how does it work?

A fume cupboard is a ventilated enclosure that extracts harmful vapours, gases, or dust at the point of origin to protect users. It uses directional airflow to pull the contaminated air through filters and release it safely - ensuring compliance with COSHH and EN 14175.

2. Should I choose a configurable or customised model?

Configurable models are quick to deploy, modular, and available in 36 sizes. Custom designs are ideal when you need specific materials, filtration types, compliance (e.g. ATEX, GMP), or non-standard dimensions.

3. What materials and options are available?

DENIOS cupboards are made from powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or corrosion-resistant coatings. You can integrate sinks, gas, air, electrical outlets, and other media connections.

4. Are your fume cupboards suitable for explosive areas?

Yes - we offer ATEX-certified models for Ex-zones and high-risk areas. All designs are safety-optimised and certified.

5. How is compliance with Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) ensured?

Clean work surfaces regularly and follow filter replacement intervals. DENIOS offer service plans including airflow testing to meet the COSHH 14-month inspection requirement.

6. How quickly can I get a customisable fume cupboard?

Our modular VARIO-Flow systems are available at short notice. Fully bespoke systems depend on project scope and will be scheduled accordingly.
