[labnetwork] Inquiry about wet bench certification standards and processes

[Trieu Nguyen]

Dear Colleagues,

We are currently in the process of reviewing our wet bench setup, as shown in the attached picture (Terra Universal Inc., Custom Modular Wet Processing Station).

We are seeking to ensure that our equipment meets all necessary safety and regulatory standards and are considering certification.

I am reaching out to inquire if your laboratory has a similar wet bench and, if so, to gather some insights:


  1.  Certification Standards and Requirements: What specific standards and requirements are necessary for a wet bench like ours to be certified? Are there any industry-specific or regulatory guidelines that we need to be aware of?


  1.  Certifying Authorities: Could you provide information on which organizations or authorities are qualified to certify wet benches? How do we initiate contact with them, and what is the typical timeline for the certification process?

Any information or experiences you can share regarding these topics would be greatly valuable to us.

Thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you.
