Standards and labels

• 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.

  Viricidal Activity Passed

  EN 14476:2013+A2:2019 is a European Standard that specifies a method for determining the virucidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics. The 'Passed' designation indicates that the product has been tested and found effective at inactivating viruses as per the standard's requirements. The test method involves applying the disinfectant to a test virus under controlled conditions and then measuring the reduction of virus infectivity. This involves assessing the product's ability to neutralize viruses on various surfaces or in suspension, typically within a specific contact time and at defined conditions of temperature and organic load. Products meeting this standard are crucial for healthcare settings, laboratories, and places where viral transmission is a concern, providing confidence in the product’s ability to significantly reduce the risk of spreading viral infections.

• EN 1276:2019

  EN 1276:2019 is a European standard for determining the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas. It specifies a test method for determining the bactericidal activity of a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic against a reference test microorganism (Enterococcus hirae) within a 5 minutes of exposure to the disinfectant or antiseptic. The test requires a minimum of a 5 log10 reduction in the number of bacteria and the test results should be reported as a quantitative value. The disinfectant or antiseptic must pass the test in order to be certified as meeting the standard. This standard is the latest version of EN 1276 and it replaces the previous versions of the standard such as EN 1276:2009 and EN 1276:2009/AC:2010.

• EN 16615:2015

  EN 16615:2015 is a European standard for face shields. It sets guidelines for safety, performance, design and testing for face shields. It includes requirements for impact resistance, penetration resistance, field of vision and others. Test results will show if the face shield meets the standard's requirements or not.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• Food Safe

  Food safe refers to the safety of food products that are used or consumed by people. In Europe, food safety is regulated by the European Union (EU) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). These organizations set standards and requirements for food products to ensure they are safe to eat. To be considered "food safe" in Europe, a product must meet these standards and be free of harmful substances. This includes being free of harmful bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants. Food products that do not meet these standards cannot be sold or used in the EU.
