SGS Disinfection Monitored, Cleaning Checked Mark

SGS Disinfection Monitored, Cleaning Checked Mark – demonstrate that you are taking all necessary measures to prevent the spread of infection within your premises.

The emergence of the highly contagious novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has made consumers, workers and others more concerned than ever before about the safety of the premises they enter. The SGS Disinfection Monitored, Cleaning Checked mark provides assurance that all necessary measures to ensure the implementation and maintenance of the available hygiene standards for disinfection and the prevention of infection spread are being taken.

Why choose the SGS Disinfection Monitored, Cleaning Checked Mark?

The mark provides a clear statement indicating that specific premises comply with the SGS Disinfection Monitoring Program, and what that means in terms of disinfection assessment. It includes a publicly accessible QR code that shows the validity period of the mark.

The mark remains valid for one year from the date that the initial inspection was successfully performed and all requirements were shown to be fulfilled. After the initial assessment is completed, the premises must undergo bi-monthly on-site rechecks. If the first two rechecks are passed successfully, the frequency of rechecks will be reduced to every four months. To retain the mark, the premises must undergo a full, complete inspection annually.
