Gas-tight biological safety cabinets; whether or not fitted with filters, having a maximum horizontal side not exceeding 120cm
HS v2022 Code: 841470
About gas-tight biological safety cabinets; whether or not fitted with filters, having a maximum horizontal side not exceeding 120cm
HS code 841470 covers gas-tight biological safety cabinets, which are essential equipment in various industries, including healthcare, research, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. These specialized enclosures provide a controlled environment to protect both the user and the samples or materials being handled, ensuring the safety and integrity of critical processes. As a crucial component of many laboratories and production facilities, the demand for these cabinets is closely tied to the growth and development of the life sciences and biotechnology sectors.
Production process
Gas-tight biological safety cabinets are typically manufactured using high-quality materials, such as stainless steel or tempered glass, to ensure durability and containment. The production process involves precision engineering to create the airtight enclosure, install the necessary filtration systems, and integrate user-friendly features like adjustable sash heights and ergonomic controls. Rigorous testing and certification procedures are often required to ensure the cabinets meet stringent safety standards and regulatory requirements.
Production inputs
The production of gas-tight biological safety cabinets relies on a range of specialized inputs, including high-performance HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, advanced air circulation systems, and specialized sealing materials to maintain the gas-tight integrity of the enclosure. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires precision engineering tools, specialized welding equipment, and quality control instruments to ensure the cabinets meet the necessary performance and safety specifications.
Production outputs
Gas-tight biological safety cabinets produced under HS code 841470 are primarily used in laboratories, research facilities, and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants to provide a controlled and safe environment for handling hazardous biological materials. These cabinets are often consumed by industries such as 851410 Medical, surgical, dental or veterinary furniture and 901890 Instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences, as they are essential components of modern healthcare and life sciences infrastructure.
