All non-domestic premises where cooling towers and evaporative condensers are situated must register with Trafford Council under The Notification of Cooling Towers and Evaporative Condensers Regulations 1992.

The primary purpose of this is to identify potential areas that could give rise to spread of infectious disease e.g. legionella and to ensure preventative measures are taken to eliminate the risk of such infection arising to employees and the public.

You must notify us of any changes to the notification information within one month of the change, in writing.

If the device ceases to be a notifiable device you must notify us in writing as soon as possible.

Notification of cooling towers and evaporative condensers

Once you have submitted your application form your details will be placed on the register and we will acknowledge receipt within 14 days. If you do not hear from us please contact us using the details supplied at the bottom of the page.

You can do this online if you applied through the UK Welcomes service.

Any person aggrieved by a refusal to be granted a registration should contact us using the contact details below.

We would always advise that in the event of a complaint the first contact is made with the service provider by you - preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked, if you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice or you can contact us directly. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
