🧽 Can you provide an example of how the chemical testing checklist should look like? – Normex

💡

Yes. A chemical testing checklist is mainly used to verify chemicals such as soap and sanitizers, especially sanitizer concentration.

This is important because if a sanitizer concentration is above 200 ppm, rinsing may be required after sanitizing, depending on your chemical supplier’s instructions and your food safety program.

A simple chemical testing checklist may include:

Date	Time	Chemical Tested	Target Range	Result / Actual Value	Status	Corrective Action
2026-05-23	8:00 AM	Quat sanitizer	150–200 ppm	200 ppm	Acceptable	No action required
2026-05-23	11:00 AM	Quat sanitizer	150–200 ppm	250 ppm	Not acceptable	Dilute / adjust concentration and retest
2026-05-23	2:00 PM	Chlorine sanitizer	50–100 ppm	75 ppm	Acceptable	No action required
2026-05-23	4:00 PM	Soap dispenser	Present / functional	Present	Acceptable	No action required

At minimum, the checklist should include:

Date, time, chemical tested, and result with the actual value, such as the sanitizer concentration in ppm.
