(b) be used in accordance with the EPA-registered label use instructions.

(2) Chlorine sanitizer solutions shall have a minimum concentration and temperature of:

(a) 25 to 49 mg/L at 120 degrees F, with an associated contact time of 10 seconds;

(b) 50 to 99 mg/L at 100 degrees F, pH of 10 or less, or 75 degrees F, pH or 8 or less, with an associated contact time of 7 seconds; or

(c) 100 mg/L at 55 degrees F, with an associated contact time of 10 seconds.

(3) Iodine sanitizing solutions shall have a:

(a) minimum temperature of 68 degrees F;

(b) pH of 5.0 or less of a pH no higher than the level for which the manufacturer specifies the solution is effective;

(c) concentration between 12.5 mg/L and 25 mg/L; and

(d) contact time of at least 30 seconds.

(4) Quaternary ammonium compound solutions shall:

(a) have a minimum temperature of 75 degrees F;

(b) have a concentration as stated by the manufacturer's use directions included in the labeling;

(c) be used only in water with 500 mg/L hardness or less or in water having a hardness no greater than specified by the EPA-registered label use instructions; and

(d) have a contact time of at least 30 seconds.

(5) Hot water sanitization, without the use of chemicals, shall be accomplished by:

(a) manual immersion for at least 30 seconds in water held at a minimum temperature of 171 degrees F or higher; or

(b) being cycled through equipment which:

(i) the temperature of the sanitizing rinse as it enters the manifold may not be more than 194 degrees F or less than 165 degrees F for stationary racks or 180 degrees F for all other machines; and

(ii) achieves a utensil surface temperature of 160 degrees F as measured by an irreversible registering temperature indicator.
