The user should be familiar with the internationally recognized
"Laboratory Biosafety Manual" (from the World Health Organization
(WHO)) and with national, pertinent recommendations. These
manuals/recommendations provide information about decontaminants,
their use, dilution, properties and possible applications.
If the door will be opened and closed again whilst decontamination is
