North Carolina Child Care
Sanitation Rules Amendment
"Daycare Test Strips"
As of January 1, 2006, all licensed, non-in-home daycare centers in the State of North Carolina had to have the ability to test the chlorine bleach content in both their sanitizing and their disinfecting solutions. Previously the law stated that they had to test only the chlorine concentration in their sanitizing solutions.
Chlorine concentrations in disinfecting solutions have to fall between 500 ppm and 800 ppm free chlorine and the test strips previously used by child care and daycare facilities only had to read free chlorine concentrations in the range of 50 ppm free chlorine to 200 ppm free chlorine.
Several test strip manufacturers attempted to address this (relatively) new testing need but only Industrial Test Systems, Inc. manufactured, and still manufactures, a product which fully satisfies it.
Waterworks(TM) Free Chlorine Check Ultra High II from Industrial Test Systems, Inc. has an easy-to-read color chart, acceptable chlorine concentration levels clearly marked on each bottle, and instructions for mixing BOTH chlorine solutions listed on each bottle.
To make life even easier on daycare and child care center operators, Industrial Test Systems, Inc. also created a Daycare Kit (click for picture) which includes (3) bottles of their North Carolina Licensed Child Care Association approved test strips, quarter cup and tablespoon measuring devices (for proper on-site metering of the bleach), and a copy of the procedures North Carolina wants child care workers to follow when mixing their sanitizing and disinfection solutions.
