COMPLIANCE
EN pre-checks, run as you draw
Every edit re-runs a configurable EN rule engine — egress widths, fume-cupboard extract, service-wall placement, safety-cabinet airflow — and pins each error or warning to the plan with a plain-language reason.
LabPlanner is a browser app for lab fit-out dealers, contractors and estimators. Enter a room and its wall services; it generates candidate layouts, runs the configured EN pre-checks and exports the tender pack: plan, DXF, schedule and bill.
Start planningStandards it pre-checks against
- EN 14056Laboratory furniture — layout and dimensions.
- EN 13150Workbenches — dimensions, safety, and test methods.
- EN 14175Fume cupboards — clearances and extract.
- EN 12469Microbiological safety cabinets — siting and airflow.
- EN 14470-1 / -2Safety storage cabinets — siting on an extract wall for ventilation.
Every rule names the standard it comes from, and each project records the ruleset version it was checked against. Standards are revised, and local amendments vary by country — so treat the ruleset version as the thing you compare against, not the standard number alone. Some clearance values are still placeholders awaiting confirmation against the purchased standards; that is why nothing here is presented as a compliance verdict.
Errors you can act on
Findings are pinned to the layout with the governing standard and a suggested fix — not a cryptic code.
Honest by design
LabPlanner produces design-intent drawings and pre-checks — it never claims certification. A qualified professional validates against local building, fire, and civil-defence codes before procurement.
