Abstract

This standard describes a system for establishing and assessing cleaning quality. It is based on the general principlesstipulated in EN 13549:2001.The standard describes two main principles: visual inspection, see Clause 4 and inspection using measuring instruments,see Annex B. For a certain cleaning task, it may be preferable to use either visual inspection or inspection byusing measuring instruments or a combination of both.The instrument measuring methods may work as a supplement for special types of premises used for e.g. the productionof electronics, pharmaceuticals or food, or for premises housing laboratories, etc. where customers willstipulate special quality requirements or in relation to which there are statutory requirements that shall be observed.The indoor air quality is particularly affected by dust. In order to achieve an acceptable indoor air quality, it may becomenecessary to stipulate special requirements as regards dust. This is done by using dust measurements. Customershave the option to define dust measurements only, as described in Annex B.1, or as a supplement to thevisual inspection. Customers have to specify when measurements shall be taken and the dust level acceptable inaccordance with Table B.1.The system can be used in various ways:–– to inspect the cleaning quality achieved;–– to assess the soiling level and/or the rate of re-soiling;–– as an outcome requirement in connection with conducting, ordering, offering, and/or tendering cleaningservices, see INSTA 810 Cleaning services – Requirements and recommendations for the provision of cleaningservices;–– to assess the cleaning activity necessary to achieve a given level of quality;–– to establish the cleaning quality achieved in relation to the cleaning activity.The standard can be used to specify a required quality and to inspect the cleaning quality achieved in all types ofbuildings and localities, e.g. all types of premises in office buildings, hospitals, schools, nursery schools, shoppingcentres, shops, production halls, ships, buses, trains, aircraft, hotels and restaurants, irrespective of the cleaningmethods, frequency or system used if it is possible to define a cleaned situation for performing inspection aftercleaning. The standard describes the result achieved immediately after cleaning has been completed.The standard does not comprise the measurement and control of cleaning related services, such as replenishinglavatory articles, emptying waste paper bins, dealing with recyclable articles, etc. If any such tasks are to be undertaken,it shall be stated specifically in the cleaning contract, including the system for assessing and rating the qualityof this part of the services.
