2.7 Lab Equipment
Laboratory equipment should have safety certifications from approved listing agencies (e.g., U.L.). Follow the equipment purchasing guidance from Facilities Management to verify if equipment is approved for lab use.
Laboratory equipment should only be used for the purpose it was designed for. Users should be familiar with manufacturer instructions before use and regularly inspect and maintain the equipment condition.
