With fire safety regulations tightening and insurance policies demanding more proof of compliance, TR19 has become more than just best practice — it's essential.
TR19, the standard developed by BESA, ensures commercial kitchens and ventilation systems are cleaned to a recognised level of hygiene and safety. In 2025, more insurers and local authorities than ever are requiring proof of TR19 compliance before approving policies or inspections.
Why it matters
- Insurers are denying claims without TR19 certification
- Fire risks from grease build-up are preventable with scheduled cleans
- Health & Safety Executive (HSE) audits now request documented hygiene logs
Businesses in Chester, Shropshire, and the surrounding areas are turning to Extract Compliance Ltd to manage this for them — with scheduled cleans, photographic reports and full certification every time.
TR19 is not optional — it's the new standard for commercial kitchens and ventilation systems.
