Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard specifies the general requirements for ordinary objects surface disinfectants used in various environments such as schools, medical institutions, and public places. It is mandatory for all manufacturers producing disinfectants intended for surface disinfection in China. The standard applies to various chemical categories including chlorine-based, quaternary ammonium, and alcohol-based disinfectants.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines comprehensive technical specifications across several key categories. First, it defines raw material requirements for different disinfectant types, referencing specific national standards like GB/T 26370 for bromine-based and GB/T 26371 for peroxide-based compounds. Second, it sets physicochemical parameters, requiring that effective ingredient concentration and pH value fluctuations remain within strict limits of the labeled median values. Manufacturers must ensure product stability throughout the marked shelf life with an active content decline rate of less than 10%. Furthermore, the standard mandates microbial efficacy limits, requiring specific log reduction values for pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Finally, it establishes safety indicators, covering acute oral toxicity, mutagenicity, skin irritation, and metal corrosion limits to prevent damage to disinfected materials.
Testing methods
Testing procedures primarily rely on the Disinfection Technical Specification (2002 Edition) and other relevant national standards. Key evaluations include physicochemical analysis for active ingredient concentration and pH, microbial kill tests (suspension method, carrier method, and simulated field tests) to verify efficacy, and toxicological assessments to ensure user safety. Manufacturers must also conduct metal corrosion testing to confirm the disinfectant does not damage the target surfaces.
FAQs
