Registration - Cooling towers

The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations require those in control of premises with wet cooling systems or evaporative condensers to register them with their local authority and to notify them of any subsequent changes, including when plant ceases to be in operation.

The main purpose for this notification process is to identify where potential sources of risk of legionella are located and allow for easier identification, monitoring and inspection by the enforcing authorities.

Anybody who has control of premises in the London Borough of Wandsworth with a wet cooling tower or evaporative condenser has a duty to notify us in writing with details of the installation. You must also notify us in writing of any changes to the notification information within one month of the change to advise us in writing if the device ceases to be a notifiable device.
