Why do we need broad spectrum disinfection?
Is your product appropriate for the task at hand? Choosing the right product includes considerations for the task involved but also for the level of disinfection required for your environment.
A good disinfectant needs to kill a wide range, or 'broad spectrum', of bacteria on the surface, including those responsible for food poisoning.
What is 'BS EN'?
To keep your customers safe, disinfectants should be tested using European Standard Test Methods and meet the BS EN standards. A common test method for food areas is BS EN 1276 – that is ‘Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas’. EN 1276 certified product must be effective against the test bacteria, i.e. E. coli, Enterococcus hirae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, at its specified dilution and contact time.
Always check labels for either BS EN 1276 or BS EN 13697 when shopping for products that prevent harmful bacteria from spreading onto food or contact surfaces.
