NCCA to launch new Code of Practice
January 27th 2009

The National Carpet Cleaners Association will officially launch the PAS 86 Code of Practice (Publicly Available Specification) at the Cleaning Show this year.

The new code of practice has been developed by the NCCA and BSI British Standards in association with a range of industry experts, and is set to become an industry standard publication for carpet cleaning technicians.

The PAS covers the professional inspection, maintenance, cleaning and restoration of textile floor coverings and claims to be the only code of practice available for these trades.

The new code of practice will not only help raise standards within the trade, it also aims to help those that follow the new cleaning standards to win more business and stay one step ahead of the competition. The NCCA says both residential and commercial customers will be able to confidently select a contractor working to the PAS 86 code of practice, safe in the knowledge that a quality service will be delivered.

“This code of practice sets the standards for our cleaning businesses as well as being a prominent marketing tool in these recessionary times,” states June Frankum, NCCA president (pictured). “The PAS will be reviewed at intervals not exceeding two years, and any amendments arising from the review will be published as an amended PAS.”
