The Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) for 'The control of legionella bacteria in water systems' (L8)

Launched on January 8th 2001 and replaces two separate documents: the 1995 Approved Code of Practice and the associated HS(G)70.

This ACOP applies to the control of legionella bacteria in any undertaking involving a work activity and to premises controlled in connection with a trade, business or other undertaking where water is used or stored and where there is means of creating and transmitting water droplets which may be inhaled, thereby causing a reasonably foreseeable risk of exposure to legionella bacteria.

AEC provide independent Legionella assessments to ensure you meet your legal obligations.
