Sanitiser Concentration Test Log

A free printable sanitiser test log: strip readings for buckets, sprays, sinks and machines against the range on the label, with the fix and the retest.

First page of the Sanitiser Concentration Test Log — Know that each bucket, spray bottle and sink was at the strength its label asks for. A solution mixed by eye is a guess; a strip reading is a record.

What this sheet is for

Know that each bucket, spray bottle and sink was at the strength its label asks for. A solution mixed by eye is a guess; a strip reading is a record.

Who it is for

Kitchens, bars, delis and food producers that sanitise with a solution made up from concentrate.

How to use it

  1. Copy the concentration range and contact time from each product's label into the boxes at the top.
  2. Test each solution with the right strip when it is made up and again while it is in use.
  3. If it reads outside the label range, remake or adjust it, test it again and write the retest reading.
  4. Have a supervisor check the sheet, and note any place that keeps reading out of range.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Each test-strip reading of a sanitising solution against the range on the product's own label, and what was done when it read too weak or too strong.

The label sets the range. No concentrations or contact times are printed: they are on the label of the product you use and differ from one sanitiser to the next. Use the test strips made for that chemical, as a strip for one type will not read another, and retest any solution you remake or adjust.

Questions

Why is no concentration printed?

Because every sanitiser has its own working range and contact time, printed on its own label, and they differ widely between products and types. A figure from the wrong product could leave a solution too weak to work. Copy yours from the label at the top of the sheet.

Can one kind of test strip be used for every sanitiser?

No. Strips are made for a particular chemical, and a strip for one type will not give a true reading of another. Use the strips the sanitiser maker or your supplier names, and keep an eye on their expiry date.
