The British Institute of Cleaning Science has its headquarters in Northampton and is the largest independent professional and educational body within the cleaning industry. Founded in 1961 its mission is the raising of status and standards of the cleaning industry through education.
With the introduction of “what is clean” the BICSc, together with members of the industry, have developed a cleaning standard.
During their initial investigations it was decided that a “stand alone” standard was not enough and this needed to be accompanied by the individual specifications for each general sector of the industry:
- Offices
- Retail premises
- Industrial premises
- Educational buildings (term time)
- Hospital/ Health Care premises
- Food manufacture premises
- Transport
- Accommodation/ Hospitalityrn
The “standard” considers the results of a task being performed and is categorised into three definitions for each task - Acceptable, Acceptable between tasks and Unacceptable – thus taking into consideration an achievable result when tasks are performed within the frequencies indicated in each category. The prime driver for all frequencies calculated has been conformance to the UK Health and Safety legislation.
Further it was decided to establish an average productivity rating (the amount of area covered by one operator in one hour based against the individual specifications) the resulting information and conclusions of which are included in the “Best Value” report.
For a copy of the full “Best Value” report 3rd edition, which includes standards for furniture, fixtures and fittings, general and hard floors, soft floors and vertical surfaces together with the Specifications and Productivity Ratings see
