Abstract
ISO test standards, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provide a comprehensive framework encompassing guidelines, testing methods, and quality control measures for antimicrobial products and innovations across different industries.
Businesses/industries manufacturing antimicrobial products are required to meet specific regulatory requirements to introduce or operate their services in the market legally. ISO test methods assist these businesses in comparing and assessing their product effectiveness based on standardized criteria. This, in turn, facilitates the development of more enhanced innovations for customer safety while also contributing to the reduction of global microbial threats.
ISO standards apply to a range of antimicrobial products intended for use in domestic settings, hospitals, institutions, veterinary settings, and industrial areas, including โ
- Textiles
- Paints/ surface coatings
- Surface disinfectants, sprays
- Handwash
- Hand sanitizers
- Cosmetic products
- Antimicrobial drugs, antibiotics, and related products
