Specifies requirements for open-fronted laminar flow cytotoxic drug safety cabinets intended to provide protection for personnel, the environment and cytotoxic drug products, and possibly for other hazardous drugs and materials. These cabinets are not intended to provide complete protection against particles ejected during tablet crushing and grinding procedures.

This Standard specifies requirements for open-fronted laminar flow cytotoxic drug safety cabinets which are intended to provide protection for personnel, the environment, and cytotoxic drug products. These cabinets may also find wider application for handling other hazardous drugs and materials (see AS 2639). They are primarily designed to contain aerosols, and are not intended to provide complete protection against particles which may be ejected during procedures such as tablet crushing and grinding.This Standard should be read in conjunction with AS 2639 which describes recommended practices for installation and use of these cabinets.
