FAQ


No, the DSA (Drainage System Assessment) uses similar tools to those of an audit, but ACO is not an auditing body. We do not impose solutions on the customer. Instead, we evaluate the drainage system and recommend best practices based on the findings.

The DSA helps customers identify and document potential issues and hazards in their facility, focusing on hygiene, food safety and health and safety. It can serve as a valuable foundation for HACCP planning. Additionally, the DSA identifies potential sources of contamination and proposes best practice solutions. It can also assist in future maintenance planning and CAPEX cost management.

The cost of a DSA is calculated on a case-by-case basis, depending primarily on the size of the facility and the time required for the assessment. Travel costs from the nearest ACO DSA provider are also factored in. Generally, the price is comparable to standard audit service fees. As a reference, the price typically ranges between 1,500 and 2,000 euros per day.

No, ACO offers additional services, including drainage design consultancy, installation supervision, and even the installation of drainage systems.

No, the DSA is an independent, paid service, and customers are free to decide how to proceed with the recommendations. There is no obligation to purchase the proposed solutions from ACO.

ACO needs access to the facility and relevant documentation related to the drainage system, hygiene procedures, and any existing plans. It may also be helpful for ACO to have a brief consultation with the customer beforehand to understand specific areas of concern or requirements.

The duration of the DSA depends on the size and complexity of the facility. Typically, it can take from one to several days. The process involves a thorough on-site inspection of the drainage systems, identifying potential risks and inefficiencies, and gathering data to prepare a detailed report with recommendations.

The result of the DSA is a comprehensive report that outlines all the findings, including potential issues, risk areas, and best practice solutions. You will receive detailed recommendations tailored to your facility. The report is usually delivered within a few days to a week after the assessment, depending on the complexity.

The DSA offers tailored recommendations specific to your facility’s needs. ACO’s best practice solutions are based on the conditions and challenges observed during the assessment, ensuring that the proposed measures address the unique aspects of your drainage system and operations.
