Live online reminder: Disinfectant efficacy workshop

8 & 9 February 2023

This workshop will take place over two half days and will develop an understanding of the regulatory approach to efficacy assessment of disinfectant products (Main Group 1) under the GB BPR.

It will provide a general overview of the efficacy requirements for this type of product alongside specific advice for the five product types in this group. The workshop will also address common issues related to labelling and efficacy testing for these product types.

Who should attend?

The workshop is suitable for those involved in the creation and submission of efficacy data packages for disinfectant biocidal product applications, including test houses, applicants, consultants, etc.

It is important for those involved in the creation and submission of efficacy data packages to ensure that any technical documentation, or data sent to HSE are formatted correctly and well-presented. This will help smooth the applications process.

Although no prior experience is assumed, it will specifically explore efficacy of disinfectants and will not cover other product types or general principles of efficacy assessment. Other courses are available for this.

Topics covered

  • General considerations affecting the labelling, testing and assessment of efficacy for disinfectant products
  • Specific outlines of the standard testing needed for surface disinfectants in product types 2, 3 and 4
  • Specific outlines of the standard testing needed for product type 1
  • Advice for generating adapted or novel methods for less standard products in product types 2, 3 and 4
  • Advice in testing for product type 5, where limited standard methods are available
  • Common issues and problems faced in these product types
