operating conditions, the clean bench should be recertified at least annually and when
moved or serviced. The certifier should perform the following tests, as recommended in

Controlled Environment Testing Association CAG-003 and CAG-014.
•

Airflow Velocity Test

•
HEPA Filter Leak Test
•
Backstreaming/Induction Leak Test
•
Work Area Air Cleanliness Test (when appropriate)
•
Light Intensity Test (when appropriate)
In addition, the following tests should also be performed at the user's discretion:
