Section 446.303 - Warewashing: Chemical sanitizersA chemical sanitizer used in a sanitizing solution for a manual or mechanical operation at approved exposure times must meet the sanitizer criteria specified in this chapter and must be used as follows:
1. A chlorine solution must have a minimum temperature based on the concentration and pH of the solution as listed in the following chart: | Minimum Concentration | Minimum Temperature |
| mg/L | pH 10 or less °F (°C) | pH 8 or less °F (°C) |
| 25 | 120°F (48.9 °C) | 120°F (48.9 °C) |
| 50 | 100°F (37.8 °C) | 75°F (23.9 °C) |
| 100 | 55°F (12.8 °C) | 55°F (12.8 °C) |
2. An iodine solution must have: (a) A minimum temperature of 68°F (20°C);(b) A pH of 5.0 or less or a pH not higher than the level for which the manufacturer specifies the solution is effective; and(c) A concentration between 12.5 mg/L and 25 mg/L.3. A quaternary ammonium compound solution must: (a) Have a minimum temperature of 75°F (23.9 °C);(b) Have a concentration as indicated by the manufacturer's use directions included in the labeling; and(c) Be used only in water with 500 mg/L hardness or less, or in water having a hardness not greater than specified by the manufacturer's label.4. If another solution of a chemical specified in subsection 1, 2 or 3 is used, the permit holder must demonstrate to the health authority that the solution achieves sanitization and the use of the solution must be approved.5. If a chemical sanitizer other than chlorine, iodine or a quaternary ammonium compound is used, the sanitizer must be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's directions for use included in the labeling.Nev.
