Product Type 2: Surface Disinfectant

Product Type 2: Surface Disinfectant

At MassLab, we offer comprehensive biocidal testing services to ensure that surface disinfectants meet the highest quality, efficacy, and safety standards. Product Type 2: Surface Disinfectants are designed for use in high-traffic areas such as hospitals, schools, and factories to prevent the spread of microbes and pathogens. Their effectiveness is measured by their ability to inactivate harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. MassLab provides extensive testing to verify the performance and reliability of these disinfectants.

Importance of Surface Disinfectants

Surface disinfectants play a crucial role in preventing the transmission of infections and contagious diseases in public spaces. By effectively eliminating harmful microorganisms from surfaces, these products help create a sterile environment. Our testing services ensure that disinfectants are not only effective but also safe for users, adhering to international quality and safety standards.

Scope of Surface Disinfectant Testing

Microbiological Efficacy Tests

These tests evaluate the disinfectant’s effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and molds. Products are tested according to international standards such as EN 1276 (for bacteria), EN 1650 (for fungi), and EN 14476 (for viruses) to confirm their antimicrobial activity.

Rapid Action Tests

Rapid action tests measure whether the disinfectant can neutralize microorganisms within a specified time frame (e.g., 5 minutes). This ensures that the product provides prompt microbial inactivation.

Persistent Efficacy Tests

Persistent efficacy tests assess whether the disinfectant continues to provide antimicrobial protection for an extended period after application, reducing the risk of re-contamination on treated surfaces.

Chemical Content and Allergen Tests

These tests analyze the chemical composition of the disinfectants to ensure they do not contain harmful or allergenic substances. This is vital for guaranteeing safe use without adverse effects on users.

pH Compatibility and Surface Damage Tests

pH compatibility tests determine whether the disinfectant’s pH is appropriate for the surfaces it is applied to, while surface damage tests ensure that the product does not harm or deteriorate sensitive materials during cleaning.

Stability Tests

Stability tests verify that the disinfectant maintains its efficacy and safety over its labeled shelf life, ensuring reliable performance throughout its use.

Application Area Tests

These tests evaluate the disinfectant’s performance on various surfaces—such as metal, plastic, or glass—to confirm its versatility and consistent efficacy across different material types.
