4-501.114(A), (C) and (D) FC: A chlorine solution shall have a minimum concentration 25 mg per liter at 120 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature; 50 PPM at 100 or 75 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature; 100 PPM at 55 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature.(B) Iodine solution shall have a minimum temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit and concentration between 12.5 to 25 PPM; (C) Quaternary ammonium compound solution shall have a minimum temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit, a concentration indicated by the manufacturer's use directions and used only in water with 500 PPM hardness or less or a hardness no greater than specified by the EPA-registered label use instructions; (D) If another solution of a chemical specified under Paragraphs (A) - (C) of this section is used, the permit holder shall demonstrate to the regulatory authority that the solution achieves sanitization and the use of the solution shall be approved; 4-703.11 FC: After being cleaned, equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils shall be sanitized in (C) Chemical manual or mechanical operations, including the application of sanitizing chemicals by immersion, manual swabbing, brushing, or pressure spraying methods, using a solution. Contact times shall be consistent with those on EPA-registered label use instructions by providing: (1) Except as specified under Subparagraph (C)(2) of this section, a contact time of at least 10 seconds for a chlorine solution, (2) A contact time of at least 7 seconds for a chlorine solution of 50 mg/L that has a pH of 10 or less and a temperature of at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit or a pH of 8 or less and a temperature of at least 75 degrees Fahrenheit, (3) A contact time of at least 30 seconds for other chemical sanitizing solutions, or (4) A contact time used in relationship with a combination of temperature, concentration, and pH that, when evaluated for efficacy, yields sanitization. 4-501.114(E) and 4-703.11 FC: 4-501.114 (E) A chemical sanitizer used in a sanitizing solution for a manual or mechanical operation at contact times specified under Paragraph 4-703.11(C) shall meet the criteria specified under Section 7-204.11 Sanitizers, Criteria, shall be used in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions, and shall be used as follows: (E) If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine, or a quaternary ammonium compound is used, it shall be applied in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions; 4-703.11 After being cleaned, equipment food-contact surfaces and utensils shall be sanitized in (C) Chemical manual or mechanical operations, including the application of sanitizing chemicals by immersion, manual swabbing, brushing, or pressure spraying methods, using a solution. Contact times shall be consistent with those on EPA-registered label use instructions. 4-501.114(A) FC: A chemical sanitizer used in a sanitizing solution for a manual or mechanical operation at contact times specified under Paragraph 4-703.11(C) shall meet the criteria specified under Section 7-204.11 Sanitizers, Criteria, shall be used in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions, and shall be used as follows: (A) A chlorine solution shall have a minimum temperature based on the concentration and pH of the solution as listed in the following chart [summarized as follows: Minimum concentration 25 mg/L at 120 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature, pH 10 or less; 50 mg/L at 100 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature (pH 10 or less) or 75 degrees Fahrenheit (pH 8 or less); 100 mg/L at 55 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature, pH 10 or less.]
