Frequently asked questions
I sterilise surgical instruments and operating theatres for clinics and medical practices — ATECO code 81.22.01 or sanitation?
Yes, 81.22.01. This code specifically covers the sterilisation of medical equipment — instruments such as surgical tools and spaces such as operating theatres. General environmental sanitation and disinfection falls instead under 81.23.10.
I sanitise healthcare environments but don't sterilise instruments — should I stay on 81.22.01 or switch codes?
You should usually switch codes. Sterilisation of surgical instruments and clinical spaces is 81.22.01; sanitation and disinfection of environments in general is 81.23.10. The dividing line is sterilisation of medical equipment versus treatment of the surrounding environment.
My activity is simply cleaning a hospital ward, without sterilising any instruments — is that 81.22.01 or general cleaning?
If it's routine cleaning, it is general building cleaning 81.21.00. Code 81.22.01 only applies when you sterilise medical equipment and spaces such as operating theatres, not for ordinary ward cleaning.
