DISINFECTION WITH FORMALDEHYDE
Total decontamination of the cabinet should be done using disinfecting gas emission, which
ensures penetration in sealed and inaccessible areas of the Cabinet. It also guarantees the
sterilisation of the working area, fan, plenum, HEPA filters and evacuation ducts.
Decontamination of the whole of the cabinet, including filters, fan unit and working surfaces,
is usually done by fumigation with formaldehyde vapour. Alternatives may be used, e.g.,
hydrogen peroxide. However, this may not be suitable in certain cases, such as when it is
necessary to follow specific regulations.
See Annex A5.3 for the decontamination procedure.
