As an operator of a commercial or public use of drinking water installations, you are obliged, in accordance with the German drinking water regulation to ensure the flawless quality of supplied drinking water and to check on a regular basis.<\/p>

The sampling for Legionella must be carried out by accredited and according to drinking water regulation approved laboratories. A certification of the Sampling alone is not enough.

Yes, according to section 31, paragraph 1, of the drinking water regulation 2023 operators are obliged to examine their drinking water installations regularly for the presence of Legionella. Public use facilities such as Hotels, schools and sports have to do sites like this at least once a year, while commercial systems is required at least every three years to Legionella tested. These measures serve to protect the health of Consumers and the minimization of potential risks.<\/p>

Legionellae are facultative pathogenic micro-organisms, which means that they can cause, under certain conditions, and infections. Infection with Legionella can cause two different diseases: the Pontiac fever and Legionnaires ' disease. The Pontiac fever manifests itself with flu-like symptoms, and is usually less severe. However, Legionnaires ' disease, also known as Legionella pneumonia, a lung infection that can be life-threatening. Drinking water installations, in particular, equipment and facilities, clouding the water, such as showers, are potential sources of Legionella proliferation. If Legionella-contaminated aerosols are inhaled, it can be called a Legionella infection. Whether a Person is infected, depends on various factors, among others. the gender, the age, the Status of the immune system, the root of the inhaled Legionella, the Existence of underlying diseases, and more.<\/p>

A different and more extensive procedure is required for the high-risk areas of hospitals and other medical facilities. And it is true that for these areas a target value of 0 CFU\/100 ml and a risk value of >= 1 CFU\/100 ml

According to the German drinking water regulation, the technical measures is the value of 100 CFU\/100 ml of water removed from the sample (CFU = colony forming units) in the case of Legionella (Legionella<\/i> spp.) are observed. If this value is exceeded, measures are to be taken immediately. Namely, among other things, investigations to clarify the reasons for the Legionella contamination is to perform a risk assessment \/ risk analysis and measures, or have performed, all of which are for the protection of the health of the consumer is necessary. In addition, the operator is required, the excess of the technical measures of the value of view and to inform the affected users.<\/p>
