In sync with standard

He said: "These changes will close the gap between BS:15780 – to which Swiftclean operatives have been trained for some time – and the old TR/19, which was a 'one size fits all' approach in an industry where that wasn’t always appropriate.

"Happily, TR/19 will embrace the ethos of system quality classification of high, medium or low standard, as appropriate to the use of the ductwork system. It also stresses the need for cleanliness in new buildings and refurbishment projects.” 

With BSEN:15780 and TR/19 soon all in sync, it should be easier for responsible persons in building to understand their responsibilities, Swiftclean believes.
