Comply with Australian standards AS 1851-2012 (Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning) and AS 3666.2-2011 (HVAC & Duct Cleaning) or be exposed to unacceptable risk.
Dirty ducts and coils circulate dust, mould and bacteria through the spaces your guests and staff breathe.
Grease build-up in canopies, ducts and fans fuels kitchen exhaust fires.
A fire or failed health inspection can stop trade overnight.
Insurers expect AS 1851 records. Without them, a claim can be refused.
Non-compliance leaves owners and managers exposed if something goes wrong.

Although Australian Standard AS 3666.2 details that HVAC ducts and coils should be inspected monthly, in practice this is not always necessary. A professional HVAC cleaning company like Clean Air Filtration will advise how often your ducts should be inspected to comply with the standard.
AS 3666.2 specifies that ducts and coils are cleaned “when necessary”. In practice, for most systems, this is at least once per year.
Australian Standard AS 1851 states that canopies and exhausts should be cleaned at least once every 12 months. Best practice is often more frequent, depending on the fuel (solid or non-solid), the food cooked and how often you cook. A better guide: clean when grease build-up exceeds 0.2 mm on average across the system, or 2 mm in any one spot.
The primary reason is to prevent a kitchen fire, but there are five more: compliance (non-compliance with AS 1851 can lead to fines); odours (grease breeds mould and bacteria); pests (grease and mould attract rats and mice); health (grease and bacteria near food preparation can cause sickness); and equipment life (clean canopies, fans and ducts run efficiently and break down less).
Clean Air Filtration has kept Melbourne’s commercial kitchens and buildings clean, safe and compliant for over 30 years. We look after restaurants, cafes, hotels, clubs, schools, hospitals and offices across metropolitan Melbourne and Geelong, with most work done after hours so your business keeps trading.
Grease in canopies, filters, exhaust ducts and fans is a fire risk and can put you out of step with your insurer. We clean the full kitchen exhaust system to AS 1851 and send a photo report after every clean.
Our filter exchange program swaps dirty canopy grease filters for clean ones on a regular schedule, so your kitchen always has working filters and your staff never have to scrub them.
Dust, mould and debris in ducts, coils and air handling units lower indoor air quality and make systems work harder. We clean supply and return ductwork and AHUs, and offer indoor air quality testing.
Our deep cleans cover walls, floors, ceilings, equipment, cool rooms and canopies, leaving your kitchen ready for inspections and service.
Ovens, fryers, grills and other kitchen equipment cleaned and degreased so your kitchen passes inspection and your equipment lasts longer.
Cool room walls, ceilings, floors and evaporator coils cleaned and sanitised to keep food storage areas hygienic and mould-free.
