The engineers and chemists in our state-of-the-art R&D laboratory understand molecular ltration. We are committed to
designing products that are safe and of the highest quality, strive to improve our products, and continuously develop new
products that provide greater protection in the laboratory.
2Strict Safety Standards
We hold ourselves to the highest standard and adhere to the strict AFNOR NF X 15-211: 2009 ltration safety standard
as endorsed by ANSI Z9.5-2012.
3A Published Chemical Listing
It all begins here. Without this listing, we are not compliant with AFNOR NFX 15-211. Our in-house laboratory tests, as well
as independent testing to verify the retention capacity of over 700 chemicals for our lters.
4Independent Testing
Erlab lters have been independently tested multiple times at various concentrations guaranteeing that our safety
solutions all adhere to the strict performance criteria of the AFNOR NF X 15-211:2009 standard assuring that the emission
concentration at the lter exhaust will always be lower than 1% of the TLV.
5Application Questionnaire (Valiquest)
Our laboratory specialists will recommend the appropriate ltration fume hood, type of lter, and personalized advice.
6 Certicate of Validation for the chemicals used in the hood
A certied PhD chemist issues a Certicate of Validation with a list of the chemicals approved for use in the hood.
7Our Safety Program
We back up our products 100%. This program includes your specialized chemical evaluation, validation of your hood
upon installation, and a ltration safety specialist at your service to ensure that your hood is operating to its full potential.
We provide safety, we protect your health
Erlab invented the ductless fume hood in 1968. With more than 45 years of experience in the eld of chemical ltration and
