Make airborne and surface contamination an evidenced control point.

BRC Issue 9 §4.3 and §4.11 require documented control of airborne contamination on high-care lines. Light Progress UV-C chambers on conveyors, Maxvac dust extraction at packing stations, and air-quality monitoring give your audit team a full evidence trail.

What the inspector asks

"Where is airborne and surface contamination controlled as a CCP?"

BRC Issue 9 raised the bar on documented airborne and surface contamination control, particularly on ready-to-eat / chilled / high-care lines. The auditor expects to see:

1
HACCP / TACCP integration — airborne contamination called out as a CCP with defined critical limits.
2
Validation records for any UV-C equipment — measured dose, lamp service intervals, log-reduction proof.
3
Filtration records for high-care zones — HEPA grade, pressure-differential trends, change-out logs.
4
Environmental monitoring tied back to the equipment — swab/ATP results before and after intervention.
The kit

What we recommend for a high-care chilled line

Sized for a typical 30 m × 6 m high-care zone with a packing station and one conveyor.

Layer 1 · Conveyor UV-C

Light Progress UV-TUNNEL

Inline conveyor UV-C tunnel for package and tray surface decontamination — microbiological and virological, removing the need for chemical disinfection. No shadow effect; fully enclosed (IP68), no UV-C escapes.

Price on application Per production line
Layer 2 · Zone filtration

MedicAir Pro Max (HEPA H14)

HEPA H14 + UV-C for the high-care zone (1,500 m³/h each). ~4 units recommended for a 180 m² high-care room at the required ACH.

From £2,249 per unit (ex VAT) Lease from £73/mo
Layer 3 · Packing & dispatch

MAXVAC MEDI 8

HEPA H13 + carbon + concealed UV-C for the ambient air over packing and dispatch — where allergen carry-over and airborne load build up. 800 m³/h, low noise.

From £450 per station (ex VAT) Lease from £15/mo

High-care chilled line

Air purifiers from £9,897 ex VAT · or lease from £321/mo

Includes 4× MedicAir Pro Max (high-care H14) and 2× MEDI 8 (packing + dispatch). The UV-TUNNEL conveyor irradiator and 4× air-quality monitors are quoted alongside, in your currency. Site validation visit and 12-month consumables included.

What you get

The BRC Issue 9 evidence pack — included free.

Auditors at BRC, IFS and FSA inspections are looking for the same paperwork. We provide the templates ready to populate.

It's not just compliance

One product-withdrawal event costs £200k+ — and that's before reputational damage.

BRC-graded sites with documented airborne controls show measurably lower microbial-failure rates. The kit pays itself back in a single prevented withdrawal.
