BACTERIAL EFFICACY
EN 13697 - Quantitative surface test for bactericidal and/or fungicidal activity
Test Objective
Quantitative non-porous surface test for the evaluation of bactericidal and/or fungicidal activity of disinfectants used in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas. Without mechanical action.
Test Description
Surface test for the assessment of the bactericidal and/or fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectants. This test method evaluates how effectively the product causes a reduction in the number of viable bacterial/fungicidal cells of the relevant test microorganisms.

Pyramid do not hold specific test data which analyses the effectiveness of our Hand Gel against the Coronavirus however test data has proven the effectiveness of DDAC, the active ingredient, against SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). Scientists in China have isolated the Coronavirus and found it to be very similar in genetic sequence to SARS (a minimum of 70% similarity).
