Across the world, many laboratories rely on in-house certification programs often supported by building management systems (BMS) and internal maintenance teams to meet annual compliance requirements. While these approaches can satisfy baseline regulatory expectations, they may not always deliver the level of assurance needed in today’s increasingly complex biosafety environment. As laboratories evolve to support […]
