What is TR19?
Thorough kitchen extract cleaning is essential for every catering facility, which is why the BESA developed the TR19 HVCA guide to good practice. It is the standard of hygiene your kitchen extract system should meet. Following TR19 guidelines will ensure your ducting and extract system is safe and at low risk of catching or spreading fire. All catering facilities must clean extract systems regularly to guarantee good hygiene.
“Around a quarter of the 24,000 accidental fires in UK non-domestic buildings each year are caused by cooking appliances. Fires are an occupational hazard in commercial kitchens, but their impact is made far worse by the rapid spread of the fire through poorly maintained grease extract systems and duct work.” – BESA
Extract system installation, what do you need to consider?
Badly designed or fitted extract system’s will cause major problems, due to build up of grease leaking out of the gaps increasing the chances of a fire. Hatches must be installed every 2 meters throughout the system to allow efficient cleaning.
