Do you mean after having been cleaned ???

Hello Charles,

I would like to know the limits before and after been cleaned.

In context of the production environment, the uniform is either a primary or secondary contact surface, so the acceptable limit is probably the same as other primary or secondary environmental surfaces.

It is likely to be one of the many standards you set for yourself, and if your customers disagree they stop being your customer, not a mandated regulatory value.  The use of a uniform isn't even a requirement in most cases.

Hi Jeslin,

IMO, "before" is indeterminate.

"after", see this post/thread -

IIRC, BRC also offer some criteria which are posted elsewhere on this forum (somewhere).
