Hygienically Clean Advisory Board introduces new testing protocols for certification


The Hygienically Clean Advisory Board has introduces new testing protocols for Hygienically Clean Certification, according to an article on the Specialty Fabrics Review website.

To qualify for Hygienically Clean Certification, facilities must submit two random textiles to an independent, Textile Rental Services Association-approved laboratory for bacteriological testing. The samples must pass testing on three consecutive rounds, and the facility must pass an inspection prior to qualification.

After the qualification process, facilities must pass new regularly scheduled testing protocols to maintain the certification, the article said. 

These protocols include instituting the Replicate Organism Detection and Counting (RODAC) microbiological test four times per year rather than the previous protocol of twice per year.
