Certifications & Applicable European Standards
EN 14470-1 Type 90 – Fire-resistant Storage for Flammable Liquids
Exacta flammable storage cabinets are independently certified by Bureau Veritas to EN 14470-1 Type 90, the most stringent European standard for fire-resistant storage of flammable liquids. The “Type 90” classification ensures a proven 90 minutes of fire resistance under standardized furnace test conditions, giving users and emergency responders a crucial safety buffer.
The standard requires cabinets to limit internal temperature rise, feature self-closing doors that automatically shut in case of fire, and include leak-proof containment trays to prevent chemical spills from spreading. Ventilation connections must also remain intact under fire exposure. These rigorous criteria ensure flammable liquids remain safely contained, even in worst-case fire scenarios.
This certification applies to all Exacta flammable liquid cabinets—freestanding, under-bench, vertical drawer, and drum models—guaranteeing that they meet the highest European safety benchmark. With independent Bureau Veritas approval, Exacta customers can demonstrate compliance to inspectors and insurance providers while maintaining maximum workplace safety.
EN 14470-2 – Fire-resistant Storage for Pressurised Gas Cylinders
Exacta gas cylinder cabinets are certified by Bureau Veritas to the EN 14470-2 standard, which sets performance requirements for fire-safe storage of pressurised gas cylinders up to 220 litres in volume. The standard is designed to ensure that cylinders retain integrity and valves remain functional during a fire, preventing catastrophic explosions or toxic gas release.
The certification process includes fire-testing the cabinet to confirm that the internal temperature remains below critical limits for the gas being stored. It also specifies construction requirements such as fire-resistant insulation, stable housing for heavy cylinders, mechanical ventilation or ducting options, and automatic door closure systems.
This standard applies to all Exacta cabinets designed for storing compressed gas cylinders used in laboratories, workshops, and production facilities. Independent Bureau Veritas certification provides proof of compliance with European legislation and ensures that users can safely integrate pressurised gas storage into their facilities.

This regulation ensures that cabinets are mechanically safe, structurally stable, and durable enough to withstand intensive use in professional environments such as laboratories, universities, and industrial sites.
EN 16121 requires furniture to pass stringent load-bearing and tip-resistance tests, repeated use cycle testing on doors and drawers, and long-term stability assessments. The standard guarantees that shelving and structural elements maintain integrity even when fully loaded with heavy chemical containers. It also mandates safety features such as anti-tilt protection and mechanical robustness to prevent collapse or accidents during everyday use.
This certification applies broadly to Exacta’s acid/alkali cabinets, general-purpose chemical cabinets, and shelving units, underlining their mechanical strength and safe usability. Bureau Veritas certification reassures buyers that Exacta furniture is not only chemically resistant but also mechanically reliable over years of use.
EN 61010-1 – Electrical Safety for Laboratory Equipment
Where Exacta cabinets include electrical components such as extraction fans, lighting systems, monitoring alarms, or power-driven safety features, they are certified by Bureau Veritas to comply with EN 61010-1. This European safety standard sets the rules for electrical laboratory and industrial equipment, covering hazards such as electric shock, fire risks, and mechanical instability linked to powered systems.
To achieve certification, products must demonstrate electrical insulation, grounding, fail-safe protective circuits, and resistance to overheating or ignition under fault conditions. The standard also requires rigorous testing for mechanical strength of moving parts and long-term safety under realistic laboratory operating conditions.
This applies specifically to Exacta cabinets equipped with powered ventilation, electronic monitoring, or alarm systems. Bureau Veritas certification assures laboratory managers that these electrically enhanced units are compliant with EU directives and safe for daily professional use.
NFX 15-211 – Molecular Filtration Performance
Exacta ductless filtration cabinets and filtering storage units are certified by Bureau Veritas to the AFNOR NFX 15-211 standard, which is considered the benchmark European regulation for ductless chemical storage and fume containment.
The standard defines strict performance criteria for molecular filtration and operator safety. It requires that filtered air released back into the laboratory contains less than 1% of the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of the stored substances during normal operation, and remains below 50% of the TLV during filter saturation detection tests. Cabinets must also guarantee a constant dynamic air barrier, with front airflow speeds maintained between 0.4 and 0.6 m/s to prevent escape of hazardous vapours.
This certification applies to all Exacta ductless filtration cabinets used for storing or handling chemicals that release harmful vapours. Independent Bureau Veritas testing validates both the efficiency of the activated carbon or HEPA filtration media and the long-term reliability of the containment system. For customers, it provides peace of mind that Exacta units meet the highest European safety standards for clean air and user protection.
EN 1363-1 – Fire Resistance Test Methods
Exacta fire-resistant cabinets are tested according to EN 1363-1, the European standard for fire resistance testing of building components. This standard underpins the testing methodology for EN 14470-1 and EN 14470-2, ensuring that cabinets undergo controlled furnace exposure with defined heating curves and performance measurements. Certification by Bureau Veritas confirms that Exacta cabinets pass these rigorous fire tests, guaranteeing reliable fire safety performance.
EN 14727 – Laboratory Furniture Requirements
Exacta cabinets are also manufactured in compliance with EN 14727, which specifies construction and safety requirements for laboratory furniture. This ensures cabinets are built with materials and fittings suitable for laboratory environments, with attention to ergonomics, robustness, and chemical resistance. Certification by Bureau Veritas verifies that Exacta units meet the quality and safety benchmarks expected in professional laboratories.
FM Approval – International Fire Safety Recognition
Several Exacta flammable storage cabinets also carry FM Approval, an internationally recognized certification issued by FM Global. This approval demonstrates compliance with rigorous US and global fire safety standards, complementing European norms such as EN 14470-1. For laboratories and facilities operating across regions, FM Approval adds an extra layer of assurance that Exacta cabinets meet worldwide insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ventilation Options for Chemical Storage Cabinets
When using chemical storage cabinets—especially those classified under fire and safety standards like EN 14470-1—adequate ventilation plays a critical role in maintaining workplace safety and chemical integrity.
1. Passive Ventilation
Our Exacta storage cabinets feature built-in exchange openings that allow natural (passive) airflow, helping reduce vapor build-up at minimal cost. The main advantage is its simplicity and affordability. However, passive ventilation brings limitations:
- Uncontrolled air exchange – it’s impossible to confirm sufficient airflow.
- Insufficient airflow to meet EN 14470-1, which mandates exchanging the cabinet’s air volume 10 times per hour.
- Depends on room ventilation – vapors are simply released into the surrounding space, not removed. So passive ventilation is only safe when the environment of the cabinet is sufficiently ventilated.
2. Active Ventilation – Extraction to Outside
This method involves actively drawing vapors away via: Connecting the cabinet to the building’s ventilation system, or Employing our Exacta Vent series fans and ducting. This method involves sufficient ventilation without the need for routine carbon filter replacement
3. Active Ventilation – Recirculating Filtration (NFX 15-211)
An alternative to extraction, this method uses activated carbon filters to clean cabinet vapors before recirculating air back into the environment. Compliant with NFX 15-211, it offers key benefits:
- Easier installation (no building ductwork required)
- Lower operational cost—no HVAC adjustments needed for makeup air
Active ventilation with the Exacta Vent Series
The Exacta Vent series offers reliable solutions for actively ventilating chemical storage cabinets through extraction to the outside. These compact ventilator boxes are designed to be easily connected to cabinet exhaust collars and ensure compliance with standards such as EN 14470-1, which requires at least 10 air exchanges per hour. Depending on your needs, models are available for flammable and non-flammable products, as well as ATEX-certified versions for hazardous environments. For limiting VOC release into the environment, optional activated carbon filters can be integrated directly in the box to capture residual vapors. In addition to the ventilator units, we supply a complete range of HVAC accessories (ducts, flexible tubing, connectors, clamps, etc.) to build a safe and efficient extraction channel tailored to your installation. This ensures you get not only the right ventilator box, but also a complete and secure solution for removing hazardous vapors from your laboratory or storage area.

Frequently asked questions
What is a chemical storage cabinet?
A chemical storage cabinet is a specialized enclosure designed to safely store hazardous chemicals in laboratories, preventing leaks, spills, and exposure. Chemical cabinets can be ventilated or non-ventilated, depending on the stored substances and safety requirements.
Why is proper chemical storage important in a laboratory?
Proper chemical storage protects laboratory personnel from exposure to hazardous fumes, prevents chemical reactions between incompatible substances, and ensures compliance with health and safety regulations. It also extends the shelf life of chemicals and minimizes environmental risks.
What chemicals require a ventilated storage cabinet?
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), corrosive acids, flammable solvents, and toxic vapors typically require a ventilated storage cabinet. Proper ventilation helps prevent harmful vapors from accumulating inside the cabinet and the laboratory environment
How do I choose between a ducted and a ductless chemical storage cabinet?
Choosing between a ducted and a ductless chemical storage cabinet depends on the types and quantities of chemicals you store, the laboratory ventilation design, maintenance preferences, and installation constraints. Ducted cabinets are preferred for high volumes and aggressive vapors; ductless cabinets are suitable for flexibility and filtered recirculation. Ductless filtering storage cabinets can help your laboratory reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
How does a ductless chemical storage cabinet work?
A ductless chemical storage cabinet uses a filtration system, typically activated carbon or molecular filters, to capture and neutralize hazardous vapors inside the cabinet. Clean air is then recirculated back into the laboratory, eliminating the need for external ductwork and reducing air laboratory air consumption.
How often should filters be replaced in a ductless chemical cabinet?
Filter replacement in a ductless chemical cabinet typically occurs every 12 to 24 months, depending on the chemical types, usage intensity, and manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular monitoring and periodic filter saturation tests are essential for maintaining safety.
Can chemicals be stored inside a fume hood?
Generally, large volumes of chemicals should not be stored inside a fume hood, as this can disrupt airflow patterns and reduce the fume hood’s effectiveness. Dedicated under-bench storage or ventilated cabinets are better solutions.
What fire resistance ratings are available for Exacta chemical storage cabinets?
Exacta offers cabinets certified to EN 14470‑1 Type 30 and Type 90, meaning they maintain safe internal temperatures for at least 30 or 90 minutes during fire events.
Can Exacta cabinets handle storage of both acids and flammable liquids?
Yes—Exacta’s range includes specialized models with sealed partitions or separate configurations for acid storage and flammable storage, minimizing cross-contamination and hazard risk.
Do these cabinets offer built-in spill containment?
Absolutely. Exacta designs feature integrated spill trays and sump pallets that capture leaks, helping you comply with spill retention regulations.
