It is the operator's responsiblity to ensure that the
standard of disinfection in thermal as well as chemo
thermal procedures is maintained (in accordance
with § 18 IFSG and national health and safety
regulations) by carrying out suitable validation tests.
These procedures should be checked on a regular
basis, either thermo-electrically using loggers, or
bacteriologically with bio indicators. The operator
must pay particular attention to maintaining the
correct parameters in the procedure, including
temperature and with chemo thermal programmes,
the chemical concentration used. Disinfection
programmes must not be interrupted, as this can
have a limiting effect on the disinfection result.

It is particularly important to observe
manufacturer's instructions when using a combination
of cleaning agents and special application products.
Only use the product for the application described by
