Fume Cupboard Testing
Ensuring your fume cupboard is operating safely
Regular inspection and testing of fume cupboards is essential to maintain safe containment, regulatory compliance, and reliable performance. Impact Technical Services carries out thorough fume cupboard examinations in accordance with relevant standards and best practice, ensuring each unit continues to protect users and the surrounding environment.
During our inspection and testing process, we assess the following:
- Measurement of fume cupboard face velocity and airflow performance using a calibrated rotating vane anemometer
- Inspection of the sash, operating mechanisms, and all structural connections for wear, damage, or air leakage
- Functional checks of the fume cupboard extraction fan to confirm correct operation and performance
- Assessment of the complete fume extraction system, including rebalancing where necessary to restore correct airflow
- Examination of fume cupboard chamber seals and internal lining materials for integrity and chemical resistance
- Inspection of the fume cupboard worktop to identify damage, deterioration, or chemical attack
- Calibration and verification of fume cupboard airflow indicators and alarms to ensure accurate user feedback
On completion, we provide clear test results and recommendations, identifying any remedial actions required to maintain safety, compliance, and long-term system performance.
