This document applies for

- fume cupboards for high heat load
- fume cupboards for handling of perchloric acid
- fume cupboards for handling of hydrofluoric acid
- fume cupboards for high heat load in combination with acidic digestions.

This document applies in conjunction with EN 14175-1 to EN 14175-4 and, where appropriate, to EN 14175-6 and specifies supplementary information relevant to vocabulary, safety and performance requirements, type test methods, on-site test methods and marking of the listed special purpose fume cupboards.
