If you're a building owner or facilities manager, you've probably heard the term "CVC" thrown around. But what exactly does it mean, and why should you care? Let's break it down in simple terms.

What is a CVC? Understanding Compliance with System Hygienics

Understanding CVC: Your Building's Health Check

CVC stands for Compliance Verification Compliance. Consider it a comprehensive health check for your building's ventilation systems. Just like you need regular check-ups to stay healthy, your building needs regular inspections to meet all safety and hygiene standards.

In today's industrial environment, maintaining clean air isn't just a nice thing - it's the law. That's where System Hygienics comes in. Since 1993, we’ve  been helping businesses across the UK stay compliant and keep their buildings safe.

Why CVC Compliance Matters

Every building with ventilation systems must meet strict regulations. These aren't just bureaucratic hoops to jump through. They exist to protect everyone who enters your building – whether that's employees working an eight-hour shift, customers visiting for a few minutes, or patients receiving care.

Poor ventilation compliance can lead to:

• Health issues from contaminated air

• Fire safety risks

• Legal penalties and fines

• Damage to your business reputation

• Costly emergency repairs

What's Included in Ventilation Compliance?

When System Hygienics conducts a CVC inspection, they examine every aspect of your ventilation systems:

Cleaning Ventilation Extracts

Over time, dust, grease, and other contaminants build up in ventilation extracts. This isn't just unsightly – it's dangerous. Blocked extracts can't do their job correctly, leading to poor air quality and increased fire risk. Regular cleaning ensures your systems work efficiently and safely.

Extraction System Cleaning

Your extraction systems work hard to remove contaminated air from your building. But without proper maintenance, they become less effective. Our thorough extraction cleaning service ensures these vital systems protect your indoor environment.

Fire Damper Testing

Fire dampers are your building's hidden heroes. In case of fire, they automatically close to prevent smoke and flames from spreading through ventilation ducts. Regular testing ensures they'll work when you need them most.

Air Quality Assessment

You can't see air quality problems, but you can feel their effects! We test your indoor air to ensure it meets all British Standards and regulations.

The Importance of Remedial Works

Sometimes, inspections reveal issues that need fixing. That's where remedial works come in. Rather than just identifying problems, System Hygienics provides complete solutions. Their skilled teams can handle everything from minor repairs to major system overhauls.
