Fume hood certification & face-velocity testing
Protect your staff and satisfy lab-safety requirements. BMCA tests and certifies chemical fume hoods — face velocity and containment — with documentation you can show an inspector.
// Fume hood service
Safe containment, verified and certified
BMCA measures face velocity across the sash opening and verifies containment and alarm function, then certifies and labels each hood — documentation that protects your team and satisfies lab-safety expectations.
Why it matters
Fume hoods are a frontline staff-safety control. Current, documented certification keeps people safe and keeps an easy finding off your inspection report.
Each certification includes
- Multi-point face-velocity measurement
- Comparison against target velocity range
- Airflow / containment verification
- Sash & monitor/alarm function check
- Certificate of certification
- Dated label with next-due date
