Introduction

Water and entertainment safety

Wodny Park, Warszawianka is the most popularsports and recreational facility in the capital ofPoland. The comfort and safety of visiting guests
is the highest priority for the owner, the Mokotów
Foundation Warszawianka. This is particularly soduring the Corona virus pandemic, with increased
hygiene recommendations and regulations inplace to limit the spread of COVID-19.

To increase hygiene standards, state-of-the-art
disinfection solutions were installed. In laboratory
testing, Signify’s UV-C light sources reduced
SARS-CoV-2 virus infectivity on a surface to below
detectable levels in as few as 9 seconds1. Philips
upper air ceiling mounted systems are installed in
the changing rooms, and Philips UV-C battens areused for surface disinfection in the spa area. Bothare supplied and installed by Master Light Service(MLS) - a company that offers comprehensive
services lighting, and has operated on the Polishmarket since 2007. As UV-C contractor, MLS has
been professionally trained to install and operate
UV-C disinfection systems.

In areas where swimming pool customers gather
and stay the longest, such as the changing rooms,Philips UV-C disinfection upper air systems areinstalled on the ceiling. This system continuallyinactivates viruses and bacteria in air in a space,even in an enclosed room. The process does
not interfere with the regular operation of thefacility because UV-C devices are equipped withshielding and mounted at a height that allows
customers to stay in the changing rooms when thedevice is active.

In the spa zone, where customers enjoy massages
and body treatments, Philips UV-C battens areinstalled. Designed for the disinfection of radiatedsurfaces, they require only a short period of time
to be effective, and can therefore be used in
between treatments. This means that guests whohave booked spa treatments can be confident thatthey are entering a disinfected room. Moreover, as
there is no downtime when using UV-C, the room
can be used immediately after the disinfection
process has been completed.

Benefits:• Emits UV-C waves in the upper part of the room,
so it can be used safely when people are present.
• Choice of ceiling and wall-mounted luminaires.
• Lamps and luminaires with a long service life.
• Environmentally friendly – no ozone emissions
during or after use.

Safety in mind
As direct exposure to UV-C light is harmful,our UV-C products are delivered with a rangeof safeguards and instructions. They comewith physically integrated equipment or timesafeguards, such as presence or motion detection
sensors or timers, or otherwise they are to beinstalled with containment safeguards to enablesafe operation. Also we provide extensive training
and certification programs to help ensure correct
installation, usage and maintenance.

In a study conducted by the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL) at Boston University in a laboratory setting, Signify’s
UV-C light sources irradiating the surface of a material inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease) with a UV-C
irradiance of 0.849 mW/cm2 reduced SARS-CoV-2 virus infectivity to below detectable levels in as few as 9 seconds for dried virus and 4seconds for wet virus.
