All hospital disinfectants need to be registered by the Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA) to make health claims. They all must submit successful kill data against the following organisms within a standard contact time of 10 minutes. The equivalent to over 99.99% reduction is required for disinfectant registration.
These particular organisms were identified by the EPA as representatives of their category or structure of organism to simplify the testing process & avoid having to test every organism within a category.
NOTE: Benefect is not required, nor recommended, to be rinsed or wiped off at all due to its botanical ingredients and neutral pH. "Just Spray & Walk Away"™.
Additional organisms are continually being tested, submitted & registered to broaden the kill spectrum of Benefect®.
The statements of antimicrobial activity are based on independent laboratory testing at world renowned ATS Labs in Minneapolis.
