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.

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.
