Lab worksurface evaluation criteria
Lab worksurface evaluation criteria ,the lab owner in conjunction with the architect , the lab manager and in some cases the lab user should specify the type ( or types ) of worksurfaces required in the initial design phase of a lab project .
lab worksurface evaluations criteria should be based upon individual lab requirements for :
- Resistance to the chemicals to be used
- Heat resistance
- Liquid absorption
- Load bearing capabilities
- Impact and abrasion resistance
- Electrical conductivity
- Liquid containment and liquid disposal ( especially in sink areas and fume hoods )
- Ease of maintenance
- Ergonomics
- Availability
- ADA compliance
- Color
- Overall appearance
- Special requirements ( i . e ., irregular shapes , minimal joints , etc .)
