AS/NZS 3666 Part 2 – Legionella Control Australia

Air-Handling and Water Systems of Buildings – Microbial Control – Operation and Maintenance

AS/NZS 3666 Part 2 – The Australian Standard/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3666 Part 2 is concerned with microbial control issues associated with air handling and water systems in commercial buildings.

AS/NZS 3666 Part 2 identifies the minimum requirements for the operation and maintenance of such building systems.

Although originally developed for commercial building services systems AS/NZS 3666 Part 2 can also be applied to other commercial or industrial air handling and water systems, and to domestic systems incorporating cooling water equipment.

Operational and maintenance requirements

Whilst AS/NZS 3666 Part 2 identifies the minimum operational and maintenance requirements associated with the control of microbial growth in air handling and water systems of commercial buildings; design, installation and commissioning issues are dealt with in AS/NZS 3666 Part 1.

For additional information concerning the control of microbial growth in air handling and water systems of commercial buildings, HB 32 should be consulted.
