Measurement protocol for microbiological air and contact surveys for utility buildings

Inleiding

Performing microbiological air and contact research is a specialism. The method of sampling, the places to be sampled, the equipment used and food soils have a major impact on the measurement results. In addition, interpreting the measurement results requires expertise.

To achieve a uniform method of microbiological air and contact research and assessment of the results, indoor environment consultancy firms affiliated to Binnenklimaat Nederland have drawn up this measurement protocol. The measurement protocol is based on NEN-EN13098 (Exposure in the workplace - Measurement of microorganisms and microbial substances in the air - General requirements). This measurement protocol describes how, with which equipment and which micro-organisms the air should be examined.

Indoor climate inspection & consultancy is a focus group of Indoor Climate Netherlands, dealing with indoor climate quality and inspection. Indoor climate inspection & consultancy is responsible for establishing and maintaining this measurement protocol. The use of and reporting in accordance with the measurement protocol is guaranteed and monitored among focus group parties Indoor climate inspection & consultancy.
