TR19® Air Specification Cleaning & Ventilation Inspections

 

Protecting Health, Ensuring Compliance, Delivering Clean Air

At Canopy Cleaning Services, we provide expert TR19® Air Specification Cleaning, alongside comprehensive ventilation inspection and testing services. As indoor air quality and compliance standards tighten across the UK, ensuring your building’s ductwork and air systems are clean, safe, and functioning efficiently is no longer optional — it’s a legal and health imperative.

 

What Is TR19® Air?

TR19® Air is the recognised UK industry standard developed by BESA (Building Engineering Services Association) for the cleaning and maintenance of ventilation systems in commercial and industrial premises. It focuses on maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ), ensuring building occupants are not exposed to dust, contaminants, and allergens circulated through dirty or faulty air systems.

TR19® Air applies to:

• General ventilation systems (supply and extract)

• Air handling units (AHUs)

• HVAC ductwork in offices, schools, hospitals, retail, and industrial sites

 

Why TR19® Air Cleaning & Ventilation Testing Is Critical

✅ Protects Occupants’ Health

Poor air quality caused by unclean or contaminated ducts can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, fatigue, and absenteeism, especially in vulnerable individuals. Clean air systems promote well-being, concentration, and productivity.

✅ Maintains Compliance

Failing to regularly inspect and clean your ventilation systems can result in legal non-compliance, health and safety violations, and increased liability as a duty-holder under UK law.

✅ Boosts System Efficiency

Clean ventilation systems improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and extend the life of your HVAC equipment.

 

Legal Requirements in the UK

You are legally obligated to ensure your building’s air systems are clean, safe, and well-maintained. Key regulations include:

⚖️ Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

Employers must provide a safe and healthy working environment, including safe indoor air quality.

⚖️ Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992

Requires mechanical ventilation systems to be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent risks to health.

⚖️ COSHH Regulations

If dust or contaminants from ventilation systems are classified as hazardous substances, you are required to control exposure.

⚖️ BS EN 15780:2011 – Cleanliness of Ventilation Systems

Specifies cleanliness levels for ventilation systems in commercial buildings and the methods for inspecting and classifying contamination levels.

Failure to comply could lead to enforcement actions, insurance claim rejections, and serious health risks.
