Comments sought on new legionnellosis prevention standard
[firstParagraph]
USA: Changes to clarify requirements in a proposed standard to prevent legionellosis associated with building water systems are open for public comment from ASHRAE.
Standard 188P, Prevention of Legionellosis Associated with Building Water Systems specifies what must be done to control the spread of legionellosis. The standard helps facility managers/owners understand how to apply the available information on legionella effectively in order to prevent cases of legionellosis associated with building water systems.
The proposed standard underwent an earlier public review in June 2011 and is currently open for a third public review from Jan. 25-March 11, 2013. For more information, visit www.ashrae.org/publicreviews.
