Dieses Dokument gilt für
-   Abzüge für hohe thermische Lasten,
-   Abzüge für hohe thermische Lasten in Verbindung mit Säureaufschlüssen,
-   Perchlorsäureabzüge,
-   Flusssäureabzüge.
Dieses Dokument gilt in Verbindung mit EN 14175-1 bis EN 14175-4 und gegebenenfalls mit EN 14175-6; es legt zusätzliche Angaben zu den oben aufgeführten Sonderabzügen fest, die sich auf Begriffe, Sicherheits- und Leistungsanforderungen, Baumuster- und vor-Ort-Prüfverfahren und die Kennzeichnung beziehen.
ANMERKUNG      EN 14175-6 gilt für Abzüge mit variablem Luftstrom. Die Erfahrung hat gezeigt, dass Abzüge für hohe thermische Lasten viel sicherere Arbeitsbedingungen bieten, wenn sie mit festem Luftvolumenstrom betrieben werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für mikrobiologische Sicherheitswerkbänke, Absaugboxen mit Luftrückführung und Radionuklidabzüge.

Sorbonnes - Partie 7: Sorbonnes pour charge thermique et acide élevée

Le présent document s’applique :
-   aux sorbonnes conçues pour une charge thermique élevée ;
-   aux sorbonnes conçues pour une charge thermique élevée associée à la minéralisation chimique ;
-   aux sorbonnes destinées à la manipulation d’acide perchlorique ;
-   aux sorbonnes destinées à la manipulation d’acide fluorhydrique.
Le présent document s’applique conjointement avec les normes EN 14175-1 à EN 14175-4 et, le cas échéant, l’EN 14175-6, et spécifie des informations supplémentaires concernant le vocabulaire, les exigences de sécurité et de performance, les méthodes d’essai de type, les méthodes d’essai sur site et le marquage des sorbonnes à usage spécifique énumérées ci-dessus.
NOTE   L’EN 14175-6 s’applique aux sorbonnes à débit d’air variable. L’expérience montre que les sorbonnes conçues pour une charge thermique élevée offrent des conditions de travail beaucoup plus sûres lorsqu’elles sont utilisées avec un débit d’air fixe.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux postes de sécurité microbiologiques, aux sorbonnes à recirculation et aux sorbonnes pour la réalisation des travaux sur des matériaux radioactifs.

Digestoriji - 7. del: Digestoriji za visoke temperature in odvod kislin

Ta evropski standard velja za – digestorije za visoke temperature; – digestorije za visoke temperature v kombinaciji z razklopom v kislini; – digestorije za ravnanje s perklorovo kislino; – digestorije za ravnanje s fluorovodikovo kislino. Ta evropski standard se uporablja skupaj s standardi EN 14175-1 do EN 14175-4 in, če je to ustrezno, do EN 14175-6 ter določa dopolnilne informacije, pomembne za zahteve glede besedišča, varnosti in učinkovitosti, preskusne metode za posamezne vrste, preskusne metode na kraju samem in označevanje navedenih digestorijev za posebne namene.

SIST EN 14175-7:2012 - Fume cupboards - Part 7: Fume cupboards for high heat and acidic load

Overview

EN 14175-7:2012 - "Fume cupboards - Part 7: Fume cupboards for high heat and acidic load" (CEN) provides supplementary safety, performance, testing and marking requirements for special-purpose laboratory fume cupboards used when workflows generate high thermal loads and/or strong acidic vapours. It is intended to be applied together with EN 14175-1 to EN 14175-4 (and, where relevant, EN 14175-6) and excludes microbiological safety cabinets, recirculatory filtration fume cupboards and cupboards for radioactive work.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope of application: fume cupboards for high heat; high heat + acidic digestions; handling of perchloric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
  • Materials and construction: selection of materials resistant to chemical erosion and thermal deformation; smooth, cleanable surfaces to reduce adherence of viscous acid vapours; sash materials and design must not be affected by workplace temperatures.
  • Safety features:
    • Airflow controls and consideration of thermal effects on containment and robustness.
    • Fume cupboard function display with acoustic and visual alarms (relayable) per EN 14175-2.
    • Maximum exhaust temperature alarm located at the top of the cupboard (relayable).
    • Recommendation: cupboards for high heat are safer with fixed air volume operation (note: EN 14175-6 covers variable air volume).
    • No electrical sockets in the workspace (exception to general provisions).
  • Testing and commissioning:
    • Type tests: per EN 14175-3; on-site tests: per EN 14175-4, with supplementary tests under thermal load (example benchmark: 4 kW per metre internal width considered a high heat load).
    • Thermal test setup includes specified heating plate arrangement and stabilization time before performing containment tests.
  • Documentation and marking:
    • Product manual must include preventative maintenance, heat protection guidance, recommended heating plate placement, and the maximum exhaust air temperature for which performance is guaranteed.
    • Labelling should indicate conformity using the designation "EN 14175-7 High Heat Load".
  • Exclusions: does not apply to biological safety cabinets, recirculatory filtration cupboards or cupboards for radioactive operations.

Applications and users

Practical applications include laboratories conducting:

  • High-temperature digestions (e.g., AAS or Kjeldahl),
  • Perchloric acid procedures requiring specialized washdown and duct protection,
  • Hydrofluoric acid work that demands acid-resistant construction.

Primary users:

  • Laboratory managers and health & safety officers,
  • Fume hood manufacturers and designers,
  • Procurement and facility engineers,
  • Test labs and conformity assessors.

Related standards

  • EN 14175-1 to EN 14175-4 (vocabulary, safety, type and on-site tests)
  • EN 14175-6 (variable air volume fume cupboards)
  • CEN/TS 14175-5 (installation & maintenance recommendations)
  • EN ISO 12543-1 (reference for laminated safety glass when applicable)
