Every system has its own critical issues. The protocol adapts.

We operate in any facility with air conditioning or plumbing systems subject to hygiene maintenance requirements. The protocol is the same, but the priorities and frequencies vary based on the sector and risk level.

A single protocol.
Different frequencies.

The 2013 State-Regions Agreement and the UNI EN 15780 standard classify facilities into hygiene quality levels and establish different inspection frequencies depending on their intended use. A hospital requires biannual inspections. An office requires annual inspections. A pharmaceutical laboratory requires monthly inspections in some areas.

Recommended inspection frequencies

Hospitals, operating rooms, nursing homes Semi-annual
Pharmaceutical labs, cleanrooms Semi-annual
Offices, hotels, shopping centers Annual
Industrial facilities Annual*
Ships and offshore platforms Semi-annual

* Higher frequencies required for environments with chemical or biological agents present. The final schedule is set by the RSPP (Prevention and Protection Service Manager) in the company's DVR (Risk Assessment Document).

Hospitals and healthcare facilities

Semi-annual inspection · High hygiene class

In healthcare facilities, biological risk is amplified by the presence of immunocompromised patients. An unremediated air duct system can become a vector for healthcare-associated infections, including legionellosis. The HICLEAN technical dossier was also designed to meet Healthcare Management inspection requirements.

Operating rooms and intensive care units
Inpatient wards and common areas
Nursing homes and long-term care facilities
Outpatient clinics and medical centers
In-house testing laboratories

Industrial facilities

Annual inspection · Worker safety priority

In industrial facilities, the air duct system often operates under demanding conditions: high particulate levels, extreme temperatures, chemical contaminants. Duct remediation isn't just a regulatory obligation — it's a measure to reduce absenteeism and occupational illnesses linked to indoor air quality.

Manufacturing and production lines
Steel and metalworking (including ILVA/ex-ILVA)
Food and canning industry
Chemical and petrochemical industry
Climate-controlled warehouses and logistics centers

🚢

Civilian and military vessels

Semi-annual inspection · Confined environments

On a ship, the air duct system is the only air source for hundreds or thousands of people in confined spaces. Contamination spreads rapidly, and health consequences are amplified by the impossibility of evacuation. We have direct experience on cruise ships, military vessels, and offshore platforms.

Cruise ships and ferries
Navy and NATO vessels
Offshore drilling platforms
Shipyards (pre-delivery phase)

🏨

Hotels and hospitality facilities

Annual inspection · High Legionella risk

For a hospitality facility, a legionellosis case means closure, investigations, and permanent reputational damage. The European ELDSNet database records every case, and tour operators exclude flagged facilities. Documented sanitization of air and water systems is the most concrete form of protection.

Rooms and suites with fan coils or split units
Conference halls and meeting rooms
Spas, pools, and wellness areas

Shopping centers

Annual inspection · High volumes, intensive footfall

Shopping centers handle enormous air volumes for thousands of visitors a day. Air handling units run at full capacity, and ducts accumulate particulate matter faster than in other building types. Periodic remediation isn't just an obligation — it's the only way to maintain the system's energy efficiency.

Warehouses and storage areas

Airports

Annual inspection · Critical infrastructure

Airports are high-footfall infrastructures where air quality is a safety parameter, not just a comfort one. Air duct systems serve terminals, operational areas, offices, boarding zones, and retail areas with differentiated hygiene requirements.

Passenger terminals
Operational areas and control towers
Offices and administrative areas
Retail zones and lounges

Public and private offices

Annual inspection · Sick Building Syndrome

We spend 80% of our time indoors. In offices, an unmaintained air duct system is the leading cause of Sick Building Syndrome: headaches, fatigue, respiratory irritation, absenteeism. Periodic duct sanitization reduces these effects and improves productivity.

Corporate headquarters and executive offices
Open-plan and operational offices
Meeting rooms and auditoriums
Public buildings (courthouses, schools, town halls)

🔬

Pharmaceutical laboratories

Semi-annual inspection · High hygiene class

In pharmaceutical laboratories, air quality isn't a comfort parameter but a production requirement. Duct contamination can compromise entire production batches. Cleanrooms require filtration and sanitization levels beyond the standard — our protocol is calibrated to these requirements.

Cleanrooms, ISO class 5-8
Production and packaging areas
Research and quality control laboratories
Temperature-controlled warehouses
