In the European standard "EN 14727 Laboratory furniture - Storage units for laboratories - Specifications and test methods", the requirements for storage units used in laboratories are explained and test methods are defined. This standard contains requirements for strength, durability and safety to prevent serious injuries resulting from normal functional use, as well as serious injuries resulting from acceptable levels of misuse.
Security is not included depending on the nature of the building. For example, the durability of wall-hung cabinets includes only the cabinet and its parts. Wall and wall fixing are not covered by this standard.
However, these test methods do not guarantee that structural failure will not eventually occur as a result of habitual misuse or after an excessively long period of service. Assessment of aging, deterioration and heating effect of devices or ergonomic considerations or fire resistance assessments are also outside the scope of this standard.
Laboratory storage refers to the collection of containers, cabinets, and other storage units used to organize, store, and protect equipment, samples, chemicals, and other materials used in the laboratory environment. The purpose of laboratory storage is to maintain the integrity of stored materials and equipment and to ensure that they remain safe and accessible.
There are various types of laboratory storage, each designed to meet specific needs and requirements. Some common types of laboratory storage are: flammable storage cabinets, chemical storage cabinets, glassware storage cabinets, and centrifuge and microscope storage cabinets. Different types of storage are used for equipment and materials, such as cabinets, shelves, drawers or containers, depending on their shape and function.
Laboratory storage must comply with various safety regulations and guidelines, such as those established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), as well as the requirements of the EN 14727 standard.
