How to use it

  • Complete a certificate whenever a system is disinfected - after remedial works, a positive result, commissioning, or following a shutdown.
  • Record the method, the disinfectant and target concentration (or temperature for thermal), and the contact time achieved, following a written procedure.
  • Record the verification step (e.g. neutralisation and confirmation of normal residual, or confirmation of target temperatures) before the system is returned to use.
  • Keep the signed certificate with your logbook; follow the disinfectant concentrations and contact times in your procedure and BS/HSG guidance rather than assumed figures.
