Important: Costs, utility rates, permits, inspections, environmental duties, health requirements, safety rules and equipment standards vary by country, province or state, municipality, building use, equipment type and project scope. Qualified local professionals and the authority having jurisdiction must determine what applies. Laundry equipment involves electricity, gas, hot surfaces, moving machinery, chemicals, drainage, ventilation and sanitation. Qualified professionals must determine installation, guarding, utility, workplace and health requirements.
