The laboratory design and facilities for basic laboratories – Biosafety Levels 1 and 2 apply except where modified as follows:
The laboratory must be separated from the areas that are open to unrestricted traffic flow within the building. Additional separation may be achieved by placing the laboratory at the blind end of a corridor. or constructing a partition and door or access through an anteroom(eg a double-door entry or basic laboratory -Biosafety Level 2), describing a specific area designed to maintain the pressure differential between the laboratory and its adjacent space. The anteroom should have facilities for separating clean and dirty clothing and a shower may also be necessary

2. Anteroom doors may be self-closing and interlocking so that only one door is open at a time. a break-through panel may be provided for emergency exit use 3. Surfaces of walls, floors and ceilings should be water-resistant and easy to clean. Openings through these surfaces(e.g. for service pipes) should be sealed to facilitate decontamination of the room(s)

The laboratory room must be sealable for decontamination. Air-ducting systems must be constructed to permit gaseous decontamination. 5. Windows must be closed. sealed and breake- resistant 6. A hand-washing station with hands-free controls should be provided near each exit door

7. There must be a controlled ventilation system that maintains a directional airflow into the laboratory room. a visual monitoring device with or without alarm(s) should be installed so that staff can at all times ensure that proper directional airflow into the laboratory room is maintained
