ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 110-2016 Edition
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 110-2016 Edition Methods of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods,First published in 1985 and revised in 1995, ASHRAE Standard 110 provides a method of testing the performance of laboratory fume hoods. This revised edition expanded in a number of significant ways:
- The test procedures now require digital collection of data rather than allowing manual data collection.
- These modifications based on the experience of the committee members or to clarify statements in the 1995 edition of the standard.
- Expanding OF Informative Appendix A, which provides explanatory information.
- Informative Appendix B, provides guidance to anyone using the standard as a diagnostic tool in investigating the cause of poor hood performance.

The aim of this standard is to provide a test that takes into account the wide variety of factors that influence the performance of laboratory fume hoods. The ability of a laboratory hood to provide protection for the user at the face of the hood is strongly influenced by the aerodynamic design of the hood, the method of operation of the hood, the stability of the exhaust ventilation system, the supply ventilation of the laboratory room, the work practices of the user, and other features of the laboratory in which it is installed. Therefore, there is a need for a test method that can be used to evaluate the performance of a laboratory hood in the ideal environment and in the field to establish an “as used” performance rating, including the influences of the laboratory arrangement and its ventilation system.
