UK’s first for RABC hygiene standards


July 2008
The Johnsons Apparelmaster plant in Uttoxeter has become the first UK textile services provider to be successfully validated to the European standard BS EN 14065:2002 (RABC)
This European standard is aimed at garments supplied to pharmaceuticals, food, healthcare and cosmetics industries, offering a powerful technique to perform a risk analysis to achieve a constant microbiological quality of the processed garments.
With a proven system in place, this new RABC implementation will ensure that soiled garments entering the laundry contaminated with varying numbers of micro-organisms are decontaminated using a disinfection process ensuring the highest quality of garment cleanliness.
