EN 14065 Certification

What is EN 14065?

Medical, Healthcare and Pharmaceutical sectors are increasingly asking laundry providers to have certification for the standard, as it sets out a number of process control requirements that a laundry must implement and monitor in its daily operations, such as:

·       Identifying and recording potential biocontamination hazards

·        Assessing risks and potential impacts

·        Setting up a team responsible for the system and controls

·        Implementing and operating the system

·        Putting in place monitoring systems

·        Recording results and non-conformance with systems

·        Reviewing the effectiveness of the system completing internal audits.
