Certification of cleaning agents for beer glasses and beverage lines
On behalf of the Czech Association of Breweries and Malt Houses (ČSPS), we verify the quality of sanitizing agents used to clean beer lines and beer glasses in dispensing equipment.
What are we testing?
When certifying cleaning agents, we focus on three key areas
1. Cleaning effectiveness: We evaluate the ability to remove dirt that commonly occurs in real operating conditions.
2. Safety for beer: We assess the risk of damage to beer foam due to detergent residues.
3. Safety for operators and the environment: We evaluate the composition of the detergent and its impact on health and nature
How does testing work?
To start testing, you need to provide:
- At least 200 ml of the sample (ideally in its original packaging),
- The product’s safety data sheet.
- Send to the following address: Lípová 511/15, Prague 2.
Benefits of certification
-
