High-Level Disinfectant Cleaner with Multiple BS EN Standards
Selgiene Extreme is a concentrated professional cleaner and disinfectant designed for demanding hygiene environments where broad-spectrum antimicrobial performance is required.
It is particularly suited to:
- Healthcare environments
- Catering and food preparation
- Butcheries and meat-processing areas
- Schools and education
- Leisure and hospitality
- High-contact public areas
- Commercial and industrial premises
The product combines cleaning and disinfection in one formulation and can be used on water-washable surfaces and floors.
BS EN 1276 – Bactericidal Performance
Selgiene Extreme passes BS EN 1276, the quantitative suspension test used to assess bactericidal activity under defined conditions.
Laboratory data includes efficacy against organisms such as:
- Escherichia coli
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Enterococcus hirae
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- MRSA
- Salmonella typhimurium
- Listeria monocytogenes
Current Selden efficacy data shows a BS EN 1276 pass at 1:25 dilution with a 30-second contact time under dirty conditions, with broader historical test data also supporting performance at other specified dilutions and contact times.
BS EN 14476 – Virucidal Performance
Selgiene Extreme is tested to BS EN 14476 for virucidal activity.
The product has documented efficacy against enveloped viruses, with manufacturer information specifically referencing examples such as:
- Coronavirus
- HIV
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- Influenza
The current Selden test summary lists EN 14476 performance at:
- 1:25 dilution – 1 minute contact time
- 1:40 dilution – 5 minute contact time
for enveloped-virus activity.
Your existing product data also includes historical external testing for Norovirus using FCV surrogate, with a 1:10 dilution, and Hepatitis B/C surrogate testing under EN 14476.
BS EN 1650 – Yeasticidal Performance
Selgiene Extreme also passes BS EN 1650, which assesses yeasticidal/fungicidal activity under defined test conditions.
The current Selden test data documents efficacy against Candida albicans, including:
- 1:10 dilution – 30 seconds
- 1:25 dilution – 1 minute
under dirty conditions.
This makes the product particularly useful in environments where both bacterial and yeast control are important.
BS EN 13704 – Sporicidal Performance
Your existing laboratory-results section also documents BS EN 13704 testing against Clostridium difficile spores, with historic external laboratory data showing performance at 1:10 dilution under clean conditions.
This is an important point of differentiation because spore-forming organisms require different efficacy evidence from standard bactericidal claims.
BS EN 14675 – Virucidal Testing for Animal-Related Applications
The existing Selgiene Extreme efficacy data also includes BS EN 14675 testing against H1N1 Influenza A / Swine Flu, with a documented pass at 1:10 dilution under clean conditions.
This adds further value where the product is used in animal-handling, agricultural or specialist hygiene environments.

Directions & Dilution
Use Selgiene Extreme according to the required efficacy claim.
Routine Bactericidal Cleaning – BS EN 1276
For economic cleaning and sanitising:
Dilute 1:40
Example:
20ml product in a 750ml trigger bottle
Allow approximately 5 minutes contact time for the relevant bactericidal claim.
Rapid Spray & Wipe – BS EN 1276
For faster bactericidal performance:
Dilute 1:10
Example:
75ml product in a 750ml trigger bottle
The product can pass BS EN 1276 with a 30-second contact time at this dilution.
BS EN 14476 – Enveloped Viruses
Current Selden test information lists:
- 1:25 – 1 minute
- 1:40 – 5 minutes
for enveloped-virus efficacy under EN 14476 test conditions.
Norovirus
Historic product efficacy information states:
Dilute 1:10 after first cleaning the surface and allow 5 minutes contact time for the documented Norovirus surrogate claim.
Always use the dilution and contact time associated with the specific efficacy claim you require.
