Professional Alcohol Hand Sanitiser Gel
This professional alcohol hand sanitiser gel is designed for workplaces and commercial environments where effective and convenient hand hygiene is important.
The ready-to-use formulation contains more than 70% alcohol and is designed to evaporate quickly after application, providing rapid hand sanitisation without the need for rinsing. It also contains built-in skin-conditioning agents to support frequent use while avoiding a sticky residue.
Suitable for use across food service, catering, hospitality, healthcare, care services and general workplace environments, this professional hand sanitiser combines rapid application with recognised antimicrobial efficacy testing.
EN 1500 Hygienic Hand Rub
The product is certified to EN 1500, a recognised European standard specifically associated with hygienic hand rubs.
This makes it particularly suitable for organisations looking for a professional EN 1500 hand sanitiser with documented hand-hygiene performance rather than relying solely on generic antibacterial claims.
EN 1276 Bactericidal Hand Sanitiser
The formulation is also certified to EN 1276 for bactericidal activity under specified test conditions.
This provides professional users with independently tested bactericidal performance and gives the product strong relevance for customers specifically searching for an EN 1276 hand sanitiser or commercial bactericidal hand gel.
EN 14476 Virucidal Performance
The hand sanitiser is also certified to EN 14476, providing documented virucidal performance under specified test conditions.
The manufacturer identifies efficacy against enveloped viruses and Norovirus, making this suitable for professional hygiene applications where broader antimicrobial performance is required.
Additional Antimicrobial Testing
In addition to EN 1276, EN 1500 and EN 14476, the product is also listed as approved/tested to:
- EN 13727
- EN 1650
- EN 13624
These additional standards strengthen the technical credentials of the formulation for professional hygiene applications.
Fast-Drying, No-Rinse Formula
The alcohol-based formulation dries quickly after application and does not require rinsing.
Simply apply to clean hands and rub thoroughly until dry. The product should not be applied to broken skin.
Built-In Skin Conditioners
The formulation contains skin-conditioning agents designed to support frequent professional use.
These help reduce the drying effect associated with repeated alcohol-hand-rub use while avoiding a sticky residue after application.
Suitable for Food, Catering & Hospitality
The formulation was developed for use across food, catering and hospitality environments and is described by the manufacturer as quick acting and non-tainting.
This makes it particularly suitable for commercial kitchens, catering operations, restaurants, hotels and other professional food-service environments.
Suitable for Healthcare & Care Environments
The product is also identified as suitable for frequent use in medical and care-service applications, making it a practical professional hand hygiene solution for healthcare and care environments.

The current manufacturer page describes the product as >70% alcohol, although its technical composition section separately states total alcohol content of 65–70%. Because of that inconsistency, I would avoid publishing an exact “73% alcohol” claim until the current supplied batch/specification is verified.
