Common customer questions & answers

QQuestion Which edition of BSRIA’s Pre-commission Cleaning guide should I be using?
AAnswer The current edition of BSRIA’s Pre-commission Cleaning guide is BG 29/2021. It was revised in partnership with the CSCA with input from an industry steering group, members of which are listed in the guide. It supersedes all previous editions of the guide. It is BSRIA’s intention that, in normal circumstances, BG 29/2021 should be used in preference to any superseded editions of the guide. Superseded versions of the guide are still available (see Revision History above) as they provide useful reference information for older projects. Users of BG 29/2021 should be aware that it is a guide, not a regulation. It is for individual project teams to decide whether to follow the guidance, and this should be made clear in project documentation.
