Do You Know What Is The So-Called 99.9% Greasy During The Epidemic Period

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, more and more attention has been paid to the products with bactericidal effect. When you open the e-commerce page, the sterilization rate is 99.999%, 99% and 98%. Disinfection, sterilization, bacteriostasis, and antibacterial are the expressions that seem to have little difference but similar values. What's wrong with these expressions?

Generally speaking, the results of killing bacteria are issued by authoritative testing institutions. In the laboratory environment, the sterilization rate of quantitative killing test should be more than 99.999% (5 nines) before it can be judged as qualified. The word "disinfection" is allowed to be used in labels and publicity.

The number of "9" has strict testing and inspection standards. For hundreds of millions of bacterial families, the difference is more than hundreds of thousands. Therefore, those marked with a bactericidal rate of 99%, or less than 99%, are far lower than the requirements of the "disinfection" standard in terms of sterilization effect.

Only five "nines" are really "disinfected"

Ingredients? Antibacterial? The bewilderment method

As mentioned above, only products with a sterilization rate of more than 99.999% can use the word "disinfection". For some products with sterilization rates of 99%, 98%, 97% or even lower, in theory, only "bacteriostasis" can be used to describe them. However, what methods will businesses adopt to confuse us in order to sell?

1. Emphasize composition and weaken standards

Is there a test report for all the products on sale? They also made a test report, emphasizing the components of disinfectants, such as alcohol, and using our recognized cognition that "alcohol can sterilize" and replace the concept with "products can be sterilized and disinfected"

2. If the antibacterial agent is used, the rate can only meet the "antibacterial" standard

As mentioned earlier, the national standard has a clear standard for the use of disinfection words. When disinfection cannot be used, businesses will give priority to "antibacterial". Because antibacterial = bacteriostasis + disinfection, is a word that refers to a wider range, and there are no strict requirements for use. It doesn't go wrong.

3. Use non national standard words

In the national standard, for disinfection, antibacterial, antibacterial use, there are clear provisions. If it does not meet the disinfection standards, and does not meet the antibacterial standards, even antibacterial can not be used. At this time, businesses will use "sterilization" to describe, because this word, there is no clear national standard requirements.

Nonstandard false "sterilization"

Afraid of being used by businesses? Recognize the elimination of the word size!

In fact, for sterilization products, the state still has a very strict control. For the products that meet the sterilization rate of 99.999% (5 nines), they are eligible to apply for the registration of disinfection products issued by the health commission.

It takes one year for the product to be put on record. At the same time, it also needs to provide the testing report of the authoritative organization. The record of the elimination brand is the gold lettered signboard of the product disinfection standard "real gold is not afraid of fire".

Companies that are willing to spend time and money to obtain such records are also companies that are responsible for consumers and have relatively strong strength.
