I would like to creat a clean lab to mix my juice. What constitutes a clean lab? Where can I find the requirements?

Thanks for that. Of all the standards listed, is there a set that is commonly used by DIY or vape shops

What Level of "Clean" do you want to Achieve?
Level 4 Bio-Hazard?
Research Level Chemical Containment?
Hospital Safe?
Restaurant Food Safe?
Dust Mask and No Cat Hairs ?
Is this for a vape shop for just personal home use? I use the bathroom in my mother in law suite. Its big with plenty of room to move, well lit, clean, tile floors for easy cleanup in case I spill, and has cabinet that keep my supplies in a cool dark place. It works for me and I haven't died yet.
I can't see cleanliness being much of an issue. The juice should already be in clean bottles and you are mixing them into clean bottles using droppers or pipettes that you probably rinsed out after using. Unless boogers or cat hairs drop into the mix, I can't see any reasons for concerns. I'd rather vape a booger than a cat hair as I know what hair smells like when burnt. Come to think of it, I don't like the idea of vaping boogers too much either.

I use a handipack of tissues, lay them out on my desk, then sit my previously boiled barrels and bottles on them. It's like having your own disposable clean room in your pocket 
I try to mix juice in an environment I wouldn't be ashamed to cook food in. I have a small desk in my upstairs, that I regularly clean with bleach. I use bleach water to wash my pipettes, cylinders, bottles, syringes, etc, between uses. I clean up any spills immediately with paper towels and bleach solution. I mix on a plastic cutting board, usually with a paper towel underneath my bottle. I feel that anything more than that is just overkill. After all, most peoples kitchens aren't that clean, and they eat from them everyday. I can guarantee that when you go out to eat, the conditions are much worse. You might think that direct inhalation might make matters worse, but think about it, how much crap is in the air you breathe normally? City people inhale pollutants from cars and factories, and country folks are inhaling the wonderful chemicals that are sprayed on nearby fields. If airborne microbes are getting into your juice, you are breathing them in all day anyway, because they are already floating around in your environment.
Thinking about Vape Shop owners, one thought is that regulators may introduce regulations around mixing in approved 'clean' rooms only.
looking for insight from those with clean rooms or that have insight into what might be coming.

One way the government can "regulate" small vape shop owners out of existence is to require conditions that are both technically and economically impossible to meet. They sure don't make cigarettes in a clean environment ( if you have ever been to a tobacco warehouse auction) and if our food is allowed by the government to contain so many insect parts and rat turds than I wouldn't expect too much more
for those mixing juices other than reasonable sanitation standards as applies to say food preparation. But like I said, who knows what the governments, either state or federal, will impose some time down the line?

The places I have visited that have mixing rooms that are usually slick walled and all mixing and storage surfaces are stainless steel. Some also have positive pressure and I know the ones that don't are talking about getting the equipment installed so they will have positive pressure.
I've only been in a few and all have been in Indiana, so I have no idea if my experiences represent the majority.

My home "clean" lab is pretty basic--the kitchen, which is all hard surfaces and easy to clean.
I wipe the counter before and after making liquids (with clean cloths each time) and place another clean cloth down as a work space.
Since I make liquids only for my own use, I don't worry about a mouth/nose mask. I do wear eye protection and gloves to protect from the concentrated nicotine (plus I'm making this right next to the sink so washing up is easy).

Great feedback! Let's try to keep those rat turds at bay. Lol
