Confidence in the accuracy of results is important in any testing regime, but is even more so when evaluating antimicrobial performance. SteriTouch® uses only established laboratories specialising in antimicrobial testing, ensuring consistent and repeatable results.

All products are routinely tested against MRSA and E. Coli, although testing can be carried out against a range of other organisms, including streptococcus, salmonella, pseudomonas, legionella, aspergillus and candida. Testing is generally conducted according to the internationally recognised JIS Z 2801:2000/ISO22196 standard, although for certain product types, such as fabrics, more appropriate methods may be adopted.

Laboratory testing of products containing SteriTouch® additives is provided free of charge for at least the initial qualification process and in many instances we happily continue this service as the products enter volume production.
