sas

Nederlands naar Engels Techniek Architectuur
"Dit blijkt uit het nieuwe sociaal blok uitgerust met een hygiënisch sas."

We are talking about an office building or facilities in a factory/canteen. What do they mean by 'sas'? The text is in Belgian Dutch.

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

ref (airlock, anteroom, vestibule)
Types of Airlocks
The most stringent airlocks are often installed for biosafety level 3 and 4 (BSL-3/4) labs and cleanrooms; similar, but less stringent mechanisms can be found in health-care facilities such as anterooms in isolation or operating room suites and vestibules in commercial buildings. Table 1 indicates common practices and functions among vestibules, anterooms and airlocks.

In the rest of this discussion, we will use 'airlock' as a general term to include both anteroom and vestibule.

ref
An *airlock* is a transitional space that typically has two doors in series to separate a controlled environment (such as cleanroom, lab, operating room, or isolation room) from a corridor, or vice versa. The two doors should be interlocked to avoid being opened at the same time. An airlock area is often ventilated with filtered supply air, with return or exhaust air to exit. However, the relative air volume for supply, return or exhaust could vary based on the type of airlock. Poor airlock design concepts may cause undesired migration of chemical fumes, particles, or microbiological agents, which can be toxic, harmful, or infectious, into protective areas, or cause contaminated products or processes from excessive airborne contaminants inside the controlled environments.

Oxforddictionaries.com: airlock: A compartment with controlled pressure and parallel sets of doors, to permit movement between areas at different pressures.

example: ‘These protocols may include sealed work areas, negative pressure, airlocks, powered air purifying respirators, and protective clothing.’
