Our Design Standards

Arena Consultants adhere to a robust set of design standards to ensure the highest quality and safety in their projects. They follow Indian standards such as the National Building Codes (NBC 2016) and the NABL accreditation for testing and calibration laboratories. For US projects, they comply with OSHA lab safety practices and ANSI/ASHRAE ventilation standards. In Europe, they meet DIN/EN requirements for safety emergency showers and fume cupboards. This commitment to international standards highlights Arena Consultants’ dedication to excellence and safety in all their designs.
