Is your sink UV-C compatible?

When you invest in a powerful UV-C room disinfection system, it can create an unintended problem: the intense germicidal light can damage and discolour standard fixtures.

The Franke SmartFLO3™ is the only EIP-compliant sink engineered to solve this. Its proprietary, co-developed UV-resistant coating ensures it can withstand repeated UV-C exposure, providing total surface durability to complete your infection prevention strategy.

What does "EIP Qualified" actually mean?

It's not just a marketing term; it's a formal requirement within the new CSA standards for Canadian healthcare facilities. The standards now mandate that complex systems, like UV disinfection, must be designed, installed, and verified by qualified personnel to ensure they perform safely and effectively.

This requirement ensures your project is managed by true engineering partners, not just product suppliers. It's your assurance that the systems designed to protect your patients and staff are validated to work as intended. Don't settle for less.

Technology is only half the battle. The new CSA standards now require that complex disinfection systems are overseen by EIP Qualified Personnel to ensure they perform as intended.

Our expert project managers handle every detail; from design and commissioning to coordinating with your contractors, ensuring a seamless installation that is on time, on budget, and fully compliant.

Current research into aerobiology continues to highlight the importance of thermal plumes in airborne transmission. Studies suggest these upward currents, generated by body heat and respiration, act as a primary transport mechanism for exhaled aerosols, concentrating them in the upper air of a shared space.

By leveraging this natural upward airflow, properly engineered Upper-Room GUV systems establish a continuous disinfection zone where the pathogen load is highest. This engineered control is a critical strategy for meeting the new, more stringent requirements for airborne isolation rooms under the CSA Z8000:24 standard.

The new 2024 CSA standards have fundamentally changed the "rulebook" for designing and building healthcare facilities in Canada.

What was once a recommendation is now a non-negotiable mandate that directly impacts project funding, accreditation, and liability. Relying on outdated designs for critical systems like sinks and ventilation is now a significant source of project risk.

To help you navigate this shift, we've created a complimentary Executive Briefing that translates the dense language of the new standards into a clear, strategic guide.
