There have been no specific discussions. NHS England is developing new guidance in relation to the use of ultraviolet air cleaners in the National Health Service. This guidance is being developed to ensure consistency with other applicable guidance, including ‘ISO 15714:2019 Method of evaluating the UV dose to airborne microorganisms transiting in-duct ultraviolet germicidal irradiation devices’.
