What is the Hygienic Premises Kitemark certification?

The BSI Kitemark certification for Hygienic Premises is a mark of trust and safety.

It demonstrates that you have put your colleagues and customers first and take great care to protect their health. It gives them peace-of-mind when visiting your premises, which is key to providing confidence that you provide an environment with robust levels of hygiene management.

Exclusive to BSI, the foundation of the Kitemark certification are the world-class principles and guidelines on hygiene management. Organizations will be assessed against the relevant requirements of the International Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems standard ISO 45001 and the recently published UK Safe Working Guidelines, alongside relevant local government guidance. They will need to document a clear risk assessment of all areas within the organization and determine a risk level supported by a cleaning frequency based on this risk.

To award a Kitemark certificate, we assess the effectiveness of your cleaning practices and provide a hygiene mark of trust for your premises, which can be displayed to inform your colleagues, visitors and the public that you meet world-class standards in hygiene.
