The Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association (SEFA) is a voluntary international trade association representing members of the laboratory furniture, casework, fume hood and related equipment industry. The Association was founded to promote this rapidly expanding industry and to improve the quality, safety and timely completion of laboratory facilities in accordance with customer requirements.
SEFA members work together to establish, monitor and modify, as needed, industry-wide recommended practices in the areas of fume hoods, laboratory work surfaces, equipment and furniture installations.
SEFA and its committees are active in the development and promotion of recommended practices having domestic and international applications. Recommended practices are developed by the association taking into account the work of other national standard-writing organizations.
