The Global Biorisk Advisory Council™ (GBAC), a Division of ISSA, has released its Validation and Auditing Technology Resource Guide and Directory, aimed at educating industry professionals about the current and emerging technologies for cleaning validation and auditing. The guide is available complimentary to ISSA members and GBAC customers.
“With cleaning for health more important than ever, it is important to audit and validate a cleaning program’s efficacy,” said GBAC Senior Director Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner. “We are excited to offer this resource to ISSA members, GBAC customers, and the industry as a whole to make it easier for them to identify the best partners for their cleaning performance validation and auditing needs.”
This publication includes education regarding cleaning validation and auditing technologies, environmental hygiene monitoring, and data collection and analysis. Some technologies outlined include ATP portable microbiological tests, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), air pathogen detection, fluorescent marking, sensors, software, and more.
