Biocidal product testing

Our well-equipped facilities provide efficacy testing of biocidal products in accordance with the currently in force norms of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics.

 

At our lab we carry out tests to verify whether the product meets biocidal properties declared by the manufacturer and whether is efficient as germicidal and fungicidal product.

 

Specialized tests are necessary to be conducted before a product is registered as a biocidal one at authorized national office – Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocides.
