Water quality. Risk assessments for Legionella control. Code of practice

PUBLISH DATE 2010

BSI BS 8580:2010

This British Standard gives **recommendations and guidance** on the assessment of the risk of *legionellosis* presented by artificial water systems.

It is applicable to any undertaking involving a work activity or premises controlled in connection with a trade, business or other undertaking where water is used or stored in circumstances that could cause a reasonably foreseeable risk of exposure to *legionellae* and contracting *legionellosis*.

The standard is applicable to risk assessments being undertaken on premises, plant and systems for the first time, and to review and audit where a previous assessment has been undertaken and where control measures might have been implemented.

This British Standard does not give recommendations for:

  1. the assessment of the risk presented by natural waters, including rivers, lakes, ponds, waterfalls, caves, dew ponds or natural recreational facilities, such as boating lakes; or

  2. the preparation of the scheme of control for the risk systems identified.

Annex A gives general guidance on the assessment of systems, while Annex B to Annex E give guidance on the assessment of specific types of system.

Annex F gives an example checklist for the assessment of a particular system (spa pool).

A list of equipment that might be used by a risk assessor is given in Annex G, and Annex H gives guidance on the production of schematics.

NOTE The guidance in Annex A to Annex E is not intended to be exhaustive; merely to highlight some of the more common issues associated with particular systems to be considered as part of a Legionella risk assessment.

Where appropriate, these annexes contain references to publications that give more detailed information about these systems.
