IHEEM VTP Dental Standard Guidance Note

The Ventilation Technical Platform has produced this guidance note to provide a baseline standard for dental practices with regards to ventilation performance. The guidance includes both a principle section for the ventilation strategies to be considered for the standard operation of a dental care facility with a specific section for issues relating to the safe management of facilities during the current COVID-19 situation. The guidance is intended to provide both non-technical information and areas to be considered for dentists, practice managers and other healthcare professionals. In addition it provides detailed performance information to ventilation specialists, engineering designers and installers to ensure systems can be appropriately designed, installed, commissioned, and validated to provide a safe and appropriate dental care environment.
