Preventive Maintenance Procedures: The contractor will contact the POC at least two weeks prior to their arrival with a list of the fume hoods and/or biological safety cabinets that are to be tested and certified so the POC can make arrangements with the affected services. Contractor will report to the POC upon arrival at the facility and inform POC of the fume hoods and/or biological safety cabinets that are to be tested and certified for the day.

The contractor will also insure proper calibration on existing self-monitoring devices. Fume Hoods /Biological Safety Cabinets are to be tested in accordance with OSHA, AIHA/ANSI. Hoods are to be certified semiannually or annually as required. Primary test to be performed are inflow velocity profiling as per ANSI/AIHA Z9.5-2003 American National Standards for Laboratory Ventilation 6.3.3 Face Velocity Tests. The average face velocity shall be determined by the method described in the ANSI/ASHRAE 110-1995 Method of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods. Face velocity measurements shall be made by dividing the hood opening into equal area grids with sides measuring no more than 12 in. (30.5 cm). The tip of the probe shall be positioned in the plane of the sash opening and fixed (not handheld) at the approximate center of each grid. Grid measurements around the perimeter of the hood opening shall be made at a distance of approximately 6 in. (15.2 cm) from the top, bottom, and sides of the opening enclosure. The average face velocity shall be the average of the grid velocity measurements. Each grid velocity shall be the average of at least 10 measurements made over at least 10 seconds. The plane of the sash shall be located at the midpoint of the sash frame depth. ANSI/ASHRAE 110-1995 ASHRAE Guideline: Method of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods. 6.2 Face Velocity Measurement. A 1.0 ft2 imaginary grid pattern shall be formed by equally dividing the design hood opening into vertical and horizontal openings. Velocity readings shall be taken with a calibrated anemometer. For VAV hoods, measurements should be made at 25, 50, and 100% sash openings. A hood is considered certified when the average face velocity at twelve inches working sash height is between 80 120 feet per minute. Testing for Pharmacy equipment shall be performed in accordance with USP Chapter 797; CETA CAG-002; and ISO14644-1:1999 standards and requirements for proper operation of this equipment with regard to minimizing potential contamination and exposure during sterile compounding and preparation of hazardous drugs. Routine performance tests shall be conducted at least semi-annually or annually or whenever a significant change has been made to the operational characteristics or relocation of the equipment. A hood that is found to be operating with an average face velocity more than 10% below the designated average face velocity shall be labeled as OUT OF SERVICE and corrective actions shall be taken by VA staff to increase flow. Each hood shall be posted with a notice giving the date of the routine performance test, the measured average face velocity and initialed by the technician. If it is taken OUT OF SERVICE it shall be posted with an out-of -service notice.
