The Economy Program
is our lowest-priced program providing the basic sterilizer spore
testing service with self-addressed forms and envelopes. The test
kits are sent annually. If you fall behind in testing, you will
receive a telephone call from our customer service staff to remind
your facility to test on schedule. Testing in a timely manner will
avoid fines from your local health department (depending on the type
of industry). Your original, personally signed test report
is mailed upon completion. This cost-effective program meets all
guidelines and requirements. To review or compare all programs,

NOTE: If you find a
cheaper service, we will honor their price, allowing you to still
benefit with using our enhanced sterilizer spore testing programs.
