The European Standard EN 14065 describes a Risk Analysis Bio contamination Control (RABC) system for the industrial cleaning branch to guarantee continuously the microbiological quality of the laundry processed textiles

    
         
    Analysis & prevention of microbiological risks (RABC)    
   
The RABC is applied to textiles processed in laundries and used in specific sectors, e.g. pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food, healthcare and cosmetics and excludes those aspects relating to worker safety and sterility of the final product. The system is compatible with other international recognised quality management system standards and may be integrated with a existing management system.

Nowadays the need for the prevention of biological contamination in laundries and companies, who deliver home-care articles for institutions and individuals, is of increasing significance for individuals, products, materials and environment.

Soiled textiles entering a laundry are contaminated with varying numbers of micro-organisms from the environment in which they have been used. In this context, the objective of the laundry is to decontaminate the textiles using a disinfection process and then protect them from subsequent recontamination up to the moment they become the responsibility of the customer. The awareness of a “micro-organism exchange” is important in assessing the impact recontamination may have in the use of textiles.
