Professional Service
Transparent documentation, site assessments, and full CFIA application support from start to finish.
Understanding the CFIA Mandate: What “C&D” Truly Means
When the CFIA issues a Clean and Disinfect (C&D) Order following an HPAI detection, it becomes a non-negotiable regulatory requirement under the Health of Animals Act. The goal: eliminate the virus, prevent spread, and restore biosecurity.
The process involves multiple CFIA verification stages, including Site Visit #3 (Clean Inspection) and Verification #4 (Disinfection Approval) — each requiring zero tolerance for contamination.
Alberta Power Wash steps in after the client completes dry cleaning, taking ownership of the wet cleaning, drying, and disinfection phases — the most scrutinized steps under CFIA oversight.
Navigating Federal Compliance: Your Trusted Partner
Compliance failure can result in severe delays, costly re-cleaning orders, and lost production. Our role is to ensure you pass the inspection the first time.
We create a site-specific C&D plan that aligns with the CFIA’s Hazard Specific Plan (HSP) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Our technicians use low-pressure, high-volume systems, CFIA-approved detergents, and containment procedures that prevent aerosolization and cross-contamination.
This ensures your facility is CFIA inspection-ready, maximizing approval speed and minimizing downtime.
Preventing Unnecessary Costs and Delays
Each day of quarantine equals lost production. We mitigate risk through proactive compliance:
Avoid Re-Cleaning Costs
Our internal inspections ensure CFIA Site Visit #3 passes the first time.
Documentation Assurance
Every disinfectant, concentration, and contact time is logged and pre-verified for CFIA officers.
Minimize Downtime
Clean inspections and disinfection verification approvals fast-track the release for restocking.
What is Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI)?
Avian Influenza (AI), or bird flu, is a contagious viral infection affecting poultry and wild birds. The H5N1 strain is particularly devastating to Alberta’s poultry sector.
Key Characteristics Relevant to the C&D Process:
Resistance – The virus can persist in cool, moist, protein-rich environments; all organic material must be removed.
Vulnerability – The virus is neutralized by heat, thorough drying, and CFIA-approved disinfectants.
Zoonotic Potential – Rare but possible transmission to mammals and humans; hence, strict PPE and biosecurity are enforced.
The Precise Cleaning & Disinfection (C&D) Process
Alberta Power Wash engages after Primary Decontamination (Dry Cleaning), initiating the two most critical milestones: CFIA Clean Inspection and Disinfection Verification.
Phase 1: Pre-Soak & Detergent Application
- Apply low-pressure CFIA-approved detergents and foaming agents.
- Allow soaking time for biofilm breakdown.
- Maintain biosecurity zones to prevent cross-contamination.
Phase 2: High-Volume, Low-Pressure Washing
- Physically remove contamination using specialized washing systems.
- Manual scrubbing in complex areas (feeders, vents, equipment).
- Contaminated water containment and treatment compliant with CFIA and Alberta regulations.
Phase 3: Final Rinse & Internal Verification
- Rinse all surfaces to remove detergent residue.
- Conduct internal quality check to ensure “zero visible organic matter.”
- Verify site readiness for CFIA Site Visit #3.
Phase 4: Thorough Drying (Inactivation Step)
- Monitor drying period (minimum 48 hours).
- Employ supplemental heat or airflow for porous materials.
- Ensure moisture-free surfaces before disinfection.
Phase 5: Application of CFIA-Approved Disinfectant
- Calculate dilution, concentration, and contact time per CFIA plan.
- Document all batch numbers, application logs, and verification data for CFIA Disinfection Approval (Verification #4).
- Document all batch numbers, application logs, and verification data for CFIA Disinfection Approval (Verification #4).
