Senior CEO and founder Prof. Dr. Lothar Schulze was actively involved in the development of the Guidelines for Quality-assured Process Management in Parts Cleaning (PDF at www.fit-online.org). The document provides orientation for the exchange of experience, problem solving and the development of new solutions. They form the basis for cooperation between suppliers in the industrial parts cleaning industry and the operators of cleaning plantssystems and machines within the parts manufacturing process chain.
Team leader of Applications André Lohse is one of the authors of the Guideline: Safe Control of Filmic Contamination. It adresses operators of parts cleaning systems, those responsible for cleaning processes, process chain managers and users of measuring and testing technology. It is intended to facilitate quality-assuring process management. Based on the available state of the art, the FiT Cleaning Association compiled practical and expert knowledge as well as user experience between 2015 and 2018.
