Intelligent Containment Technologies and Testing - ICT2, announces the opening of their certified fume hood test lab in Shanghai. The first in Asia to be certified 100% compliant. It has been certified to meet 100% of the requirements for ASHRAE 110- 2016 and EN 14175-2019. Hehu Lin, President, says “We have made a very large investment to bring a world class testing facility to Shanghai. We believe that if China is going to produce world class fume hoods, the manufacturers need access to the best testing facility possible”
At ICT2, we know how expensive it is to build a testing lab that meets all the requirements of the standards. We understand why so few of these labs exist in the world. Our approach is different. While we do independent third-party testing, we also offer our lab for rent to manufacturers who can’t justify the expense of having their own. We understand how hard it is to optimize the performance of a fume hood without having a perfect testing environment.
Mr. Chip Albright, a laboratory ventilation expert from the US has been working with ICT2 to ensure compliance with the requirements of the standards, He says” While there are many test rooms in the world, few meet 100% of the requirements outlined in the Standards. As the fume hood market in China develops and grows, it is important to create the best possible testing conditions. Based on the labs I have visited around the world this lab is equal or better than most labs in North America and Europe.”
Given the rapid growth of the Chinese fume hood market and their interest in making world class products, as well as innovative next generation technology, China is the logical place to have this type of testing facility. Wenjie Zhang, Chairman of ICT2, said “When doing R&D of fume hood products, you need a perfect testing environment. Anything less, you are not sure if you are fixing issues with the fume hood or issues with the test room. By making our test lab available to everyone, we hope to see a rapid improvement in quality and performance of fume hoods in the Chinese market.” “We are here to help fume hood manufacturers by making affordable testing a reality.”
In addition to the lab testing, ICT2 also does field testing - commissioning (As Installed) testing and (As Used) testing. Testing is a critical component to improving market conditions, but equally important we recognize the need for training. Our unique hands on training and certification will help ensure that everyone involved with fume hoods, from designing, to testing, to using a fume hood will have adequate training to help make labs safer places to work.
The test lab is located at Room102, Building 8, No.328, Yutang Load, Songjiang District, Shanghai.
