Concluding report concerning the micro-biological examination of the raw concrete

soffit, airtight partitioning and active cassettes of the GIF Ventilated Ceiling and also of
various airborne germ measurements in the production kitchen of the refectory of the
Students’ Hall, Students’ Building, Würzburg on 30.11.10.
Client: Hidria GIF GmbH, Brühlstraße 7, 79112 Freiburg
Objective: The state of hygiene of various structural elements in the GIF Ventilated Ceiling
as well as the air quality was to be determined on the basis of micro-biological
examinations and optical assessment (extended visual check). According to
the manufacturer of the GIF Ventilated Ceiling the individual cassettes of the
ventilated ceiling function as grease and condensation separators. Because of
the effects of gravitation and condensation the flow of air via separation chamber
leads to a build-up of dirt, grease and other floating particles on the inner side
of the small register. According to the information provided, the accumulation of
dirt in the ceiling cavity is thus avoided.
Description of the property:

Page
10.6
Operational details: Refectory of the Students’ Hall, Students’ Building, Würzburg
Number of meals: approximately 2500 hot meals per day
Date of start of service of kitchen including ventilated ceiling: in year 2000
Volumes of extracted and supply air: (ventilation with nominal volume flow rate in
operation): 33600m³ / h
Heights: GIF Kitchen Ventilated Ceiling: 3.0m above FFL, concrete soffit approx. 3.5
above FFL
Cleaning cycles: According to the information received, the cleaning of the kitchen ventilated
ceiling is carried out every 3 – 6 months, or more frequently in individual
places if necessary. The last cleaning was reported to have been carried out in
September 2010.
Details of the property: A GIF Kitchen Ventilated Ceiling was installed in the above property
in 2000. The GIF Kitchen Ventilated Ceiling functions as an open type of
construction with a ceiling pressure chamber in accordance with VDI 2052 and
DIN 18869-2 feature B1. The extracted air and the supply air pass via pressure
chambers in the ceiling cavity. The pressure chambers are formed by means of
aluminium compartments inside the ceiling cavity. The extracted as well as the
supply air is realised over structurally identical active cassettes at a modular
dimension of 500mm x 500mm. The GIF Kitchen Ventilated Ceiling is fixed to
a concrete soffit, which together with the air-tight compartments and the GIF
Kitchen Ventilated Ceiling forms the pressure chambers. Besides the air pipes
there are additional installations such as electrical cables present in the ceiling
cavity. The active cassettes form a completely reversible ventilated ceiling with
integrated lighting in all sections.
1. Methods and Results
1.1 Optical assessment (extended visual check)
The optical assessment which was carried out in the framework of an extended visual check
in the areas of both extracted and supplied air showed no traces of flaws of hygiene or other
possible harmful effects such as dirt, formation of rust, limescale deposits, damage, fibre
discharges. As a result of the GIF-ceiling elements being removed immediately beforehand,
the ceiling sections were shaped in such a way that they could be clearly and extensively
examined. This made the inspection of the parts much easier and no anomalies were found.
The assessed surfaces in the ceiling area (raw concrete, air compartments, air passages)
were dry and free of deposits and dirt.
1.2 Airborne germ measurements with the help of an air sampler
Page
10.7
Illustrations 1+2: Air sampler RCS Principle of measurement
The airborne germ measurements were carried out with an air sampler RCS High Flow from
Biotest HYCON by means of repeated determinations. On each occasion 200l of air was
collected for the test (Method BAV-IM-5. 4-55). The airborne germ measurements were carried
out directly at the air outlet of the supply air passage (entry of air into the supply air pressure
chamber – Point 10054152/-53) and also after a length of approx. 11m in the ceiling cavity
(Point 10054156/-57). In a similar way measurements were taken at the air outlet inside the
kitchen directly beneath the supply air component (active cassette – Point 10054154/-55) as
well as at a representative place in the production area near the tilting frying pans at a height
of approximately 1m (Point 10054158/-59).
No criticism could be made of the eight airborne germ measurements (repeated determinations
at four measuring places) all produced satisfactory results. It should not be forgotten that
the assessment “satisfactory” represents the best possible evaluation on the basic scale of
“satisfactory”, “acceptable”, “unsatisfactory”. All the tests were below the benchmark of 400KbE
(colony forming units) per cubic metre for the aerobic mesophilic germ count and below the
benchmark of 1000 KbE per cubic metre for fungus. To arrive at the evaluation benchmarks
were used which are valid for sectors dealing with food ready for consumption. At the endpoints
of the incoming airflow in particular very small germ counts were recorded (some of which
were below the limit of detection), which underline the manufacturer’s specification that the use
of the voluminous ceiling cavity for the air-flow does not contravene the hygiene regulations.
1.3 Examination of surrounding areas (surface and swipe sampling)
Surface and swipe sampling were carried out on different elements in the ceiling area as well
as on several active cassettes and evaluated (ISO 18593 (2004)): Horizontal procedure for
testing techniques of surfaces by means of contact plates and swabs; DIN 10113 (1997);
determination of surface germ content on the fixtures and implements in the food area.
The surface and swipe sampling on the raw concrete surfaces, active cassettes (extracted
and supply air) together with the air-tight partitions (for the individual positions please see
attachment) also produced exclusively satisfactory results. Again it must not be forgotten that
the term “satisfactory” represents the best possible result. Enterobacteriaceae (to which also
hygiene indicators such as E-coli and disease causing elements such as salmonella also
belong) were not found in any of the tests. Seven from ten surface samplings and three from
five swipe samplings showed no signs of germ growth. The germ count of covered agars
gave no cause for complaint. What should be especially emphasised is that all the tests of
active cassettes, which were cleaned before the testing in the on-site multi-tank conveyor
dishwashing machine, showed no signs of germ growth. These results satisfy almost entirely
the regulations concerning materials with direct food contact of DIN 10516 (Food hygiene –
cleaning and disinfection) and demonstrate the possibility of cleaning the GIF ceiling elements
simply and effectively. Moreover, the removal and reinstallation of the ceiling elements do not Page
10.8
require any technical aids and can be integrated without difficulty in the operational cleaning
processes.
2. Summary of Assessment
During the course of the tests described above it was shown that in the production kitchen
of the refectory in the Students’ Hall in the Students’ Building in Würzburg while the GIF-
kitchen ventilated ceiling was in use and during the air-supply feed over the ceiling pressurised
chamber there was no additional germ-pollution caused by germs as set out in VDI 6022 Sheet

Re: The ventilated ceiling installed by GIF mbH in the kitchen of the
Hotel “Pension Neubauer”, Westring 3/a, 63500 Seligenstadt
Page
10.31
At the request of the GIF Ventilator and Extractor Ceilings Company, Freiburg mbH and the
Technical Department of the Association of Chimney Sweepers, Darmstadt, an onsite-visit
was arranged for 12 May 1999 by Mr Klaus-Peter Stallknecht, the official expert who had
been engaged and sworn in for the purpose of clarifying the question of the „Certification of
Secure Use“ according to §80 Paragraph 2 HBO.
As the above-mentioned expert was able to see by direct inspection on site, no defects
were found in relation to the installed ventilated ceiling, the built in gas fired heaters in the
commercial kitchen of the Hotel „Pension Neubauer“ and the steam-removal chimney (see
page 2, pictures 3 + 4).
From the way they have been installed, ventilated ceilings cannot be judged in accordance
with the Facility-Ventilation guidelines. These Facility Ventilation Guidelines are applicable
only to commercial steam-removal hoods and for down standing extraction equipment.
As a result, the ventilated ceiling installed by GIF mbH can only be assessed by independent
testing establishments (see attachment ULC-Laboratories and Institute for Building Materials)
in relation to material, fire-protection and usability (International Assessment Agencies – EU-
Norm and Testing Agencies).
In this case the appointed Master Chimney Sweepers can only be held responsible for the
installation of fire places (see attachment CE-Certification of combination ovens) and their
combustion supply (with particular reference to extracted air).
There is nothing to prevent a certification of “Secure Use” in accordance with § 80 2 HBO
being granted by the appointed Master Chimney Sweeper Mr Moran, who is responsible for
the matter.

Dear Mr Hammer,
According to your telephone call you wish to have in addition to the results contained in
my letter of 08.02.93 further pairs of variates to be considered in respect of the surface
relationship active/flat cassettes in the mathematical prognosis of the achieved level
reduction. As agreed, I have therefore extended the two tables on page 3 of the above-
mentioned letter, as follows:
Variants Surface relationship Resulting median

active-/flat cassettes degree of noise absorption
I 70 / 30 αmI = (0,7 . 0,20) + (0,3 . 0,76) = 0,37
II 50 / 50 αmII = (0,5 . 0,20) + (0,5 . 0,76) = 0,48
III 40 / 60 αmIII = (0,4 . 0,20) + (0,6 . 0,76) = 0,54
IV 30 / 70 αmIV = (0,3 . 0,20) + (0,7 . 0,76) = 0,59
V 20 / 80 αmV = (0,2 . 0,20) + (0,8 . 0,76) = 0,65
VI 10 / 90 αmVI = (0,1 . 0,20) + (0,9 . 0,76) = 0,70

Variants Equivalent Absorption Level reduction
