VDI 6022 1998-2002 Vergleich VDI 6022 2006-2007 PDF

Full title and description

STB VDI 6022 1998–2002 — comparison with VDI 6022 2006–2007. A product/summary page comparing the original VDI 6022 parts issued between 1998 and 2002 (Blatt 1:1998, Blatt 2:1999, Blatt 3:2002) with the revised and consolidated VDI 6022 publications of 2006–2007 (notably VDI 6022 Blatt 1:2006 and VDI 6022 Blatt 2:2007). The comparison highlights scope changes, structural consolidation, new/updated requirements (inspection, measurement and training), and which documents were withdrawn or superseded by the 2006/2007 edition.

Abstract

This comparative summary explains how the original, separate VDI 6022 parts issued in 1998–2002 (targeted at offices/assembly rooms, hygiene training and industry-specific guidance) were reorganised in 2006–2007. The 2006 Blatt 1 consolidated and replaced the earlier Blatt 1 (1998), Blatt 2 (1999) and Blatt 3 (2002), while 2007 publications (Blatt 2) provided more detailed measurement and sampling procedures to supplement the consolidated Blatt 1. The consolidation aimed to harmonise hygiene requirements across building types, clarify responsibilities for operators and designers, and introduce more explicit guidance on inspections, documentation and cleaning/measurement methods.

Scope

The original 1998–2002 VDI 6022 parts set hygiene requirements for ventilation and air‑conditioning systems in different contexts (offices/assembly rooms, hygiene training requirements, and industrial/production facilities). The 2006 revision consolidated those topical parts into a unified Blatt 1 to create a single, clearer set of hygiene requirements applicable across a wider range of RLT (raumlufttechnische Anlagen) systems and components; the 2007 Blatt 2 provided harmonised measurement, sampling and testing procedures to be used during hygiene checks and inspections. The consolidated scope focuses on planning, execution, operation, inspection, cleaning and documentation so supply air quality is not degraded by the system.

Key topics and requirements

• Hygiene by design: material selection, cleanable construction and sealing of ducts and units to minimise contamination and allow effective cleaning.
• Operational responsibilities: duties of operators, documentation and maintenance schedules to ensure long‑term hygienic operation.
• Inspection types and intervals: routine inspections, maintenance checks and larger hygiene inspections (with guidance on frequencies depending on system features).
• Hygiene training: minimum content and qualification requirements for personnel (originally in Blatt 2; later integrated or updated).
• Measurement and sampling procedures: microbiological and water/air/surface sampling, laboratory analysis methods and dust measurements described in the 2007 measurement sheet.
• Risk assessment and remediation: how to identify contamination sources (e.g., moulds, nebuliser/humidifier issues, mineral fibres) and required remedial actions.

Typical use and users

Primary users include building owners and operators, HVAC designers and installers, facility managers, commissioning and maintenance teams, hygiene inspection specialists and accredited laboratories. The standards are used during planning/specification, acceptance, commissioning, routine maintenance, hygiene inspections and when carrying out microbiological or water analyses.

Related standards

Commonly referenced documents and standards include other VDI series items (related VDI 6020 / VDI 6021 family items and later VDI 6022 Blatt sub‑parts), and European standards such as DIN EN 15780 (ductwork cleanliness) which complement the hygienic guidance for ventilation systems. Later consolidations and corrigenda to VDI 6022 (2011, 2018 and corrections) should be checked for up‑to‑date cross‑references.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: VDI 6022 is a VDI guideline series that defines hygiene requirements for ventilation and air‑conditioning systems and units (RLT‑Anlagen). It covers planning, construction, operation, cleaning, inspections and — in dedicated sub‑parts — measurement and training requirements. The series has been issued in several Blatt (part) documents over time.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The documents set minimum hygienic design and operational requirements so that supply air is not worsened by the HVAC system. Topics include material selection, accessibility and cleanability, maintenance and inspection regimes, lab sampling/analysis methods, and competency/training for personnel. The 2007 Blatt 2 specifically describes measurement and sampling methods for hygiene checks.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Architects and consulting engineers (HVAC), equipment manufacturers, contractors and maintenance organisations, facility managers, certified inspectors and accredited laboratories performing hygiene tests and analyses. Regulatory authorities and healthcare facility planners often reference VDI 6022 when assessing compliance and risk.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The original 1998–2002 parts were superseded/withdrawn in the 2006 consolidation (VDI 6022 Blatt 1:2006) and further updated in later editions (notably 2011 and 2018 editions and subsequent corrigenda). The 2007 measurement sheet (Blatt 2:2007) itself was withdrawn/replaced by later updates. Users should consult the latest VDI 6022 Blatt 1 edition and its corrigenda for current requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — VDI 6022 is a multi‑part VDI guideline series (Blatt 1, Blatt 1.x, Blatt 2, Blatt 3, etc.) that has been extended and reorganised over time; users should read the relevant Blatt for their topic and check which parts have been integrated, replaced or updated.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Hygiene, ventilation, air‑conditioning, RLT, inspection, sampling, microbiology, training, cleanability, documentation.
