If you are looking for fume cupboards you should also have look at

BS EN 14175 (and the superseded BS 7258) as there have been a number of changes over the years to the standards for fume cupboards.

There has also been a lot of discussion within the Higher Education and Research sectors regarding the low flow fume cupboards which are now available and require less energy input.

However I must say that most still prefer those which give a face velocity of 0.5m/sec.
