Compliance
Safety, Standards & Validation
OSHA limits, safety data, and third-party validation resources in one place — so your team can complete due diligence fast.
OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limits
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for ozone at 0.10 ppm as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), per 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-1.
The AURA Hygienic system maintains an average ozone output of < 0.05 ppm -- operating at approximately 50% of the OSHA limit. This margin provides a substantial safety buffer while maintaining effective sterilization.
Real-time onboard sensors continuously verify these levels and will automatically reduce or cease ROS generation if concentrations approach threshold values.

Byproducts
Safety Data
Byproduct concentrations at AURA operating levels vs. OSHA limits.
Ozone
Byproduct
| AURA Average | < 0.05 ppm |
| OSHA PEL (8-hr TWA) | 0.10 ppm |
| Hazardous? | No* |
Hydrogen Peroxide
Byproduct
| AURA Average | < 0.07 ppm |
| OSHA PEL (8-hr TWA) | 1.0 ppm |
| Hazardous? | No* |
*Per OSHA Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200, at these concentrations the byproducts are not classified as hazardous.

Monitoring
Continuous Sensor Monitoring
Every AURA unit includes onboard gas sensors that continuously monitor real-time room-level concentrations of ozone and other byproducts.
Sensor readings are displayed on the unit's 10.1" touchscreen and transmitted to the fleet management dashboard for remote monitoring.
Calibrated Sensors
Sensors calibrated to nationally recognized reference standards for measurement accuracy.
Automatic Shutoff
If sensor readings approach threshold values, the system automatically reduces or ceases ROS production.
Remote Fleet Monitoring
WiFi-connected units report sensor data to the management dashboard for facility-wide oversight.
