Biocides are subject to complex regulation. EN 14885 specifies test methods and approval requirements for assessing the efficacy of dinsifectants. The overview standard regulates the use of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics in the fields of human and veterinary medicine as well as products of the food and other industries, for household or public facilities.
European authorities require for the approval of disinfectants and antiseptics that an independent testing institute confirms the efficacy of the product. Whether bactericidal, levurocidal, fungicidal, mycobactericidal, tuberculocidal or virucidal - the efficacy of your product must be proven both in the quantitative suspension test (phase 2/stage 1) and in the practical germ carrier test (phase 2/stage 2).
