Instrument Requirement Changes for the 2027 Recertification Cycle By Jeff Schools

Each year, before the recertification begins on August 1 st , we query the NEBB Technical Committees to identify any changes to the current discipline Required Instrumentation list that is posted on the NEBB website. This year there is only a verbiage change by the Fume Hood Committee. The change can be found below. Fume Hood Testing (FHT) The Fume Hood Committee would like to update the verbiage and make it clearer. They would like to replace the section currently labeled, “Orifice Calibrator”, and update Note #2 on the instrument re quirement list to read, the rotameter (bubble gauge) requires a NIST-traceable calibration performed either with the approved tracer gas or calibrated with AIR and then used with the manufacturer’s correction factor. This calibration does not expire and is not required to be renewed annually. OOLBOX
