Spain – Cooling equipment legislation
In Spain cooling towers, fluid coolers and condensers, as well as any cooling installation that sprays water, have a risk for Legionella disease, and are under the RD 865/2003. RD 865/2003 establishes the actions that the end users must take on all these installations to keep the equipment in good conditions in terms of maintenance, cleaning and hygiene. Health authorities inspectors should control that all the requirements are being updated in the Log Book and the installations are properly maintained.
Health and Safety legislation is implemented by the Spanish regions. Hence the measures to be taken to prevent Legionnaire’s disease can be more stringent or differ among regions.
