Cooling Towers
Notify us about your cooling tower
The Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992 requires that all non-domestic buildings with cooling towers, evaporative condensers or both must notify their local authority on an approved form. This does not include small air-conditioning units.
There is no charge for notification, but it is a legal requirement.
The main purpose of this notification process is to identify potential source of risk and allow enforcing authorities to monitor and inspect them more easily.
To register a cooling tower or evaporative condenser or both complete the notification form [PDF, 42Kb] and email to commercial.envhealth@scambs.gov.uk
Maintaining safe operation of cooling towers
Responsibilities of owners or managers of cooling tower systems. The regulations require the person who owns, manages, or controls a cooling tower system to ensure that: the system is maintained and tested unless it is shut down or is otherwise not in use.
Changes to the notification information
You must notify the Local Authority in writing of any changes to the notification information within one month of the change. If the device is decommissioned or removed, you must notify the Local Authority in writing as soon as reasonably practicable.
