Biocidal Physical Analyses

We conduct physical analyses for biocidal products in our laboratory. Biocidal products have been one of the most debated topics in the industry in recent years. Biocidal products encompass products that, along with their active ingredients, possess biological and chemical properties used against harmful microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, rodents, and insects.

What is Biocidal Physical Analysis?

Physical analyses of biocidal products directly impact user experience and product quality. They are performed to assess the physical suitability and stability of product formulations. Biocidal safety and efficacy tests are conducted as follows:

• Odor: The odor profile is tested to determine product compliance with specifications.
• Color: The product's color is evaluated in accordance with the formulation standard.
• Appearance: The product's homogeneous structure and appearance are evaluated.
• Density: The evaluation is based on the specific density value determined. We can say that density analysis for biocidal products is at this stage.
• pH: The product's alkaline or acidic balance is checked to determine whether it is at the targeted level.

These tests prove that biocidal products comply with the formulation standards and possess the properties appropriate for their intended use.

Why Are Physical Analyses Important in Biocidal Products?

Physical analyses are crucial for biocidal products for the following reasons:

• Formulation verification: This ensures that products are formulated according to specifications and demonstrate their effectiveness.
• Stability monitoring: Biocidal stability testing confirms that products are effectively protected throughout their shelf life, based on their chemical and physical properties.
• Regulatory compliance: This helps ensure that biocidal products are manufactured in compliance with international and national standards.
• Regulatory process: This is one of the biocidal product pre-certification tests for both local and international markets.

These analysis results support all documentation required for product registration. Physical analyses for biocidal products are a fundamental process for proving product safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. Choosing the right laboratory is crucial for safely conducting appropriate biocidal tests. Saniter is the best choice for providing high-quality biocidal product testing services.

How Are Biocidal Physical Analyses Conducted?

Biocidal products include both products that protect public health and chemical and microbiological products that are effective in maintaining environmental hygiene. However, for these products to be used safely and effectively, they must undergo various laboratory tests and analyses. Microbiological hygiene and disinfectant tests are the most important tests used to evaluate biocidal products for safety, efficacy, and compliance with regulatory standards.

Biocidal suitability tests are performed to assess the effectiveness of these products on target microorganisms. These tests are considered mandatory to verify the product's effectiveness before it is marketed.

Biocidal product physical tests must be conducted in accordance with European Union biocidal product regulations. These studies must be conducted in accordance with ISO and EN standards.

Sampling procedures must be performed correctly during biocidal efficacy tests. Deterioration of the product structure must be prevented during transportation and storage of the samples. Furthermore, regular maintenance and calibration of the equipment and devices used in the tests is essential. Regular and accurate reporting of test results in accordance with legal requirements is also crucial for a smooth certification process.

Microbiological and chemical analyses are essential for the safe and effective use of biocidal products. Testing using inadequate or incorrect methods increases health risks and negatively impacts the product's market position. The following points should be considered when testing biocidal products:

• The preferred chemical analysis laboratory must be ISO certified.
• Test protocols that comply with current and international standards must be implemented.
• Test results must be reported accurately and reliably.

Saniter always maintains high-quality standards when it comes to biocidal product analyses.

Standards to be Complied with in Biocidal Products

Biocide means killing an organism, killing a living being, or killing a living being. Biocidal products exert chemical or biological effects on harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses, and insects such as ticks, cockroaches, houseflies, mice, and mosquitoes, thanks to the active substance or substances they contain. In other words, biocidal products can restrict the movement of harmful organisms, render them harmless, repel or destroy them.

Today, research and development in the field of biocides are constantly ongoing. For a biocidal product containing a new active substance to be marketed effectively in the European Union, the active substance must first be registered. Once this active substance is approved, any biocidal product based on it must be approved. Therefore, few new active substances are developed. Instead, a method that combines different active substances is employed. In this way, the weaknesses of one active substance can offset the strengths of another.

Biocidal products are generally used for hygiene and disinfectant products. They have endocrine, toxic, and carcinogenic disrupting properties. Some research in this area reveals an expanding market for different types of biocides. Furthermore, serious environmental and health-related issues such as poisoning and pollution are being recognized.

It is advantageous to receive professional support from a company that adheres to the correct standards for biocidal physical analysis testing. Sanitary biocidal products are subject to high-quality physical analysis.
