Standards and labels

• EN 1500:2013

  EN 1500:2013 is a European Standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for the performance of hand sanitizers. It is a revision of EN 1500:1997. The standard defines the minimum requirements for hand sanitizers, including the type of alcohol used (ethanol or isopropanol), the minimum alcohol content, and the test methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the product in killing microorganisms. The performance requirement include the ability to kill certain percentage of germs within a specified time frame and test methods include microbe suspension, and measurement of reduction in the number of microorganisms. The standard also includes a test for hand rubs that uses non-alcohol based products.

• EN 14476:2013+A2:2019

  EN 14476:2013+A2:2019 is a European standard for testing the effectiveness of disinfectants and sterilants against the virus that causes COVID-19. It defines test methods, performance requirements, and possible test results. The standard requires a minimum log reduction (inactivation) of 4.0 (99.99%) for virucidal claim. Testing must be done using a suspension of a reference virus and the product must be tested according to the manufacturers' instructions for use. The +A2:2019 is an amendment to the original standard, which provides additional information and guidance on testing and also includes new requirements for testing virucidal activity against other enveloped viruses.
