A Legionella certificate is a document that confirms a thorough Legionella risk assessment has been carried out by a competent person, and appropriate control measures have been implemented to manage Legionella bacteria risks in water systems.
While there is no specific legal requirement to obtain a Legionella certificate, landlords and duty holders must comply with health and safety law by conducting and documenting Legionella risk assessments to demonstrate control of Legionella risks.
