This scientific paper analyzes the legal mandatory nature and sanitary indispensability of the Maintenance, Operation, and Control Plan (PMOC) in air-conditioned environments of public and collective use, as established by Federal Law No. 13.589/2018 and ANVISA Resolution No. 09/2003. The study investigates the direct correlation between negligence in air conditioning systems maintenance and the emergence of respiratory pathologies, allergies, and Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). From a legal perspective, it examines the civil and administrative liability of building owners and managers, as well as the role of the technical manager in ensuring Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The methodology is based on bibliographic and legislative review, confronted with technical field experience in implementing cleaning and maintenance protocols. It is concluded that PMOC transcends bureaucracy, constituting a vital tool for public health and legal shielding against labor and civil liabilities.
