Swiss Medtech Webinar

Assessing disinfectants correctly.
Understanding efficacy. Ensuring safety.
(in German)

Navigating the maze of standards for disinfectants

Disinfectants must meet different efficacy requirements depending on their area of application. But which efficacy claims are actually substantiated? Which tests are required – and what really matters when making a selection?

In this practical webinar, you will gain a clear overview of the regulatory requirements and the most important testing standards (ECHA, EN). Using specific examples, you will learn what evidence of efficacy manufacturers must provide and how efficacy claims can be correctly interpreted from a technical perspective.

Insights into current standardisation work round off the webinar, highlighting where gaps still exist today and what developments can be expected.
