Biosafety Cabinet Certification Scheduler
A free biosafety cabinet maintenance register: last service, interval, due date and overdue alerts — sorted by urgency, stored in your browser.
Your register stays in this browser (localStorage) — nothing is uploaded.
Add your first biosafety cabinet to see the schedule. Sorted by urgency, the next due item is always on top.
Field notes from maintenance practice
A BSC certification is not a fume-hood test with different paperwork: it verifies downflow and inflow velocities, HEPA filter integrity by aerosol photometer scan, and airflow smoke patterns — the things that protect the worker, the product and the room at once. Anything that disturbs the cabinet — relocating it, even rolling it a metre, or replacing a HEPA filter — voids the last certification and requires a fresh field test before the cabinet is trusted again, so this register holds a line per cabinet with its own clock.
Record the certifier's measured downflow/inflow velocities at each visit, not just a pass/fail — a cabinet drifting toward the low end of spec year over year warns you of a tiring blower long before it fails the test. Run the register on whatever device lives where the work happens — a workshop tablet beats a spreadsheet on someone's laptop, because the person doing the job sees the list.

About Biosafety Cabinet Certification Scheduler
This scheduler keeps a living register of your biosafety cabinets: add each one with its last service date and interval, and the board computes due dates, sorts by urgency and flags anything overdue or due within 14 days. One tap (✓) marks a service done and restarts that asset's clock. NSF/ANSI 49 field certification is required at least annually, after relocation, and after HEPA filter or major component service — semi-annual where institutional biosafety rules or cabinet class/risk demand it.
How to use Biosafety Cabinet Certification Scheduler
- 1Add each asset with its last service date and interval — presets reflect the cited standard, and you can override per asset.
- 2The register sorts itself by urgency: overdue first, then due-soon (≤14 days), with a badge per asset.
- 3Tick ✓ when a service is done to reset that asset's clock to today — the whole register persists in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a biosafety cabinet be serviced or inspected?+
NSF/ANSI 49 field certification is required at least annually, after relocation, and after HEPA filter or major component service — semi-annual where institutional biosafety rules or cabinet class/risk demand it. Severe duty, harsh environments or regulatory requirements shorten it — and your OEM manual, insurer or local code always takes precedence over the generic default.
Does moving a biosafety cabinet really require re-certification?+
Yes. Lifting, relocating or even sliding a Class II cabinet can shift the filter seals and disturb the calibrated airflow split between downflow and inflow, and that balance is exactly what protects the operator and the product. NSF/ANSI 49 treats any relocation as a trigger for a full field certification — schedule it as a one-off event in the register the moment a cabinet is moved, not at its next annual.
Some of my units work much harder than others — same interval for all?+
No — set per-asset intervals: this register stores an interval with each biosafety cabinet, so the hard-worked unit can run a shorter clock than the spare. Halving the interval for severe duty (dust, heat, continuous running) is the standard rule of thumb, and the due list re-sorts automatically.
A service was missed by months — restart the clock or double up?+
Do the full service now and reset the clock from today (the ✓ button does exactly that). Don't 'average' missed intervals — inspect more thoroughly than usual instead, because the biosafety cabinet just ran an unplanned extended interval and any developing problem had extra time to grow.
