Commissioning / Re-Commissioning
The commissioning of new fume cupboards is important as it not only ensures the cupboard is safe to start using but sets the standard for future tests as it will give a reference for any significant changes in performance.
If you have a new fume cupboard installed we can commission it to the manufactures specification. This includes setting the extract volume/fan speed (via the controller), damper, or inverter, ensuring everything is safe to use and accredit the cupboard to the required official certification. If a fume cupboard or extract system is moved or has been modified (such as a new fan or ducting installed) it would need to be recommissioned and certified
