Cleaning, disinfection and follow-up care of HVAC systems

The quality of the air in a building depends largely on how well the ventilation system works. When you clean and disinfect the air ducts, not only does it help to create the best possible air quality, but it is also often a legal requirement. Municipal authorities make it mandatory to have air ducts cleaned due to fire safety in hotels, for example. However, there are also standards that apply more generally to hospitality firms, businesses, care institutions and suchlike.

Standards for air duct cleaning

The NBN EN 15780 standard for the cleaning, disinfection and follow-up care of HVAC systems was laid down at European level. Air quality is essential in a hospital environment, where ISO standards apply such as ISO 14644-3: 2019 for areas including operating theatres and other clean rooms.

An external inspector can ask which steps you have taken to meet these standards. That is why there are various certificates connected to high-quality cleaning of air ducts and air-handling units.

We apply our expertise to the cleaning of ventilation, exhaust, extraction and air supply ducts. Our experienced team always works in accordance with the applicable standards and regulations. We focus on creating a dust-free ventilation system, whether it is for a healthcare institution, hotel, or residential neighbourhood. We achieve this by:

Is it already time to get your air ducts cleaned? In order to give you a definitive answer, we may first conduct an audit. We will take samples and have them examined by an external laboratory. We can then create an action plan for you depending on the quantity of dust in the air. We can do a one-off clean, but we can also give you peace of mind with a maintenance plan. We naturally consider all applicable standards in this plan.

For instance, it is a legal requirement to clean and disinfect air ducts once a year. Air supply duct networks must be inspected and cleaned every three years, while extraction duct networks need to be cleaned and disinfected every nine years. We record these reference points in the maintenance plan so that you always have all the necessary certificates.
