Government initiatives, new NHS regulations and increased public awareness of issues such as MRSA have increased the demand for fully compliant, tested and proven solutions. To enable you to specify with confidence our technical guide - IPS Healthcare has been updated to include all the recent revisions to the Health Technical Memorandum for sanitary assemblies: HTM 64 – third edition February 2006.These include: - Mixer taps with horizontal spouts and integral thermostatic valves
- Concealed back outlet basins for clinical areas
- The use of Rimless only WC’s
As you would expect, Armitage Venesta, together with Armitage Shanks continually develop products to meet and exceed the requirement of current NHS Estates guidelines and together are the only leading suppliers who can offer a fully integrated solution to meet the new standard.
