Lack of humidification is responsible for industrial production damage which runs into millions annually: you can neither feel nor see humidity, which is precisely why it is frequently underestimated as a factor in production. From microelectronics to textiles, there are many branches of industry in which lack of humidity or an inefficient humidification system have a negative impact on process and product quality. Inadequate humidity jeopardizes quality and productivity wherever hygroscopic materials (those attracting water) are produced or processed. Restricted machine running times, production downtime and high costs are frequently the negative outcomes of lack of humidity in the production process.

Supplementary humidification of office and administration buildings is gaining increasing importance in modern workplace design. Optimum humidification has an effect on the subjective perception of wellbeing and is simultaneously a fixed value in occupational medicine. If relative humidity drops below values of 40 %, this leads to the mucous membranes of the eyes and upper respiratory tract drying out. Bacteria in the air are able to penetrate dehydrated mucous membranes more easily, triggering symptoms of infection and colds. Many occupational medicine practitioners accordingly recommend supplementary humidification to achieve a healthy and pleasant atmosphere in these areas.

However, humidification is frequently only combined with installations in air-conditioning systems. Its image has frequently been tarnished by hygiene problems, servicing complexity and poor performance. The "Optimized humidification" certificate awarded to DRAABE for the first time proves that modern direct-room humidification is more than just an often better alternative to conventional humidification. DRAABE is the first supplier of humidification systems to be awarded this certificate. In addition to reliable function and hygienic operation of the humidification system, the new certificate also guarantees a long-term maintenance and service concept. A core component of certification is a long-term microbiological examination of the water conditioned for humidification: in a six-month continuous test of the DRAABE PUR system conducted by the Fresenius hygiene institute, DRAABE provided evidence of a significant reduction in total germ count compared to conventional humidification systems.
For the first time, the new "Optimized humidification" certificate creates a comprehensive standard for humidification reaching far beyond the requirements of hygiene control systems used in humidification to date (e.g. in accordance with HACCP principles) and sets new standards in health protection and reliable technology.
