CDG Inspection Limited is at the forefront of ensuring the safety and functionality of laboratory workbenches used in educational settings. Our specialized testing services for EN 13150:2020 focus on validating the quality and performance of workbenches designed for laboratory environments within educational institutions.

Why EN 13150:2020 Matters

EN 13150:2020 sets the benchmark for laboratory workbenches used in schools and colleges. It addresses key aspects such as durability, stability, and safety, which are critical for providing an effective and secure working environment for students and educators.

Our Testing Process

Structural Integrity Check: We evaluate the structural strength of workbenches to ensure they can withstand typical laboratory conditions. This includes testing resistance to stress, impact, and everyday wear and tear.

Load Capacity Assessment: Our tests determine the maximum load the workbenches can safely support. We simulate various loading conditions to ensure the furniture remains stable and functional under practical use.

Safety Features Evaluation: We assess safety features designed to prevent accidents and injuries. This includes checking for stability to avoid tipping, as well as evaluating any safety mechanisms in place.

Functionality Testing: We verify the practical usability of the workbenches, including ease of adjustment and access to various laboratory tools and materials. This ensures that the workbenches meet the ergonomic needs of users.

Material Performance Analysis: Testing extends to the materials used in the construction of workbenches. We examine their resistance to chemical exposure, physical wear, and other environmental factors common in laboratory settings.

Compliance and Documentation: Our rigorous testing ensures that workbenches meet the standards outlined in EN 13150:2020. We provide detailed reports documenting compliance, highlighting any issues, and recommending improvements if necessary.

Benefits of EN 13150:2020 Compliance
