Legionella Testing

• Testing of appliances in your hot and cold water supply must be undertaken on a regular basis depending on each appliance in the system eg boiler, showerhead, etc

• Sampling needs to be carried out by qualified, trained and competent personnel.

• All results need to be logged in a log book and kept for 5 years.
