{{FormatPrice(nonMemberPrice)}} List PriceClinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guideline QMS04—Laboratory Design is written for laboratory personnel responsible for, or involved in, the design of a laboratory. This guideline covers selected nonstructural elements that affect the planning, layout, and safety of a medical laboratory. The elements discussed include space, casework, equipment, classifications, health and safety, ventilation, lighting, plumbing, electrical systems, and communications.
Updates from the second edition include:
- Changes in codes, testing, equipment, and building systems
- Reorganization of information to align with the laboratory design process
This guideline discusses selected elements of laboratory design that affect the planning, layout, and safety of the medical laboratory. These elements include space, workflow, casework, equipment, classifications, ventilation, lighting, plumbing, electrical systems, and communications. This guideline is intended to provide general guidance in laboratory design for those working in and managing laboratories.
Many important and specific issues that need consideration in a well-designed laboratory are beyond the scope of this guideline and are best worked through with the project’s consultants, architects, and engineers. These issues could include structural issues, modifications to the overall base building, and changes to house utility systems.
