WHY SHOULD ANTI-BACTERIAL ACTIVITY TESTS BE PERFORMED?

Surfaces containing the addition of antibacterial substances or covered with an antibacterial coating require confirmation of the declared properties. The only way to prove that the product has such an effect are laboratory tests performed on standard strains of microorganisms. Execution of tests using an accredited method guarantees that tests will be carried out in repeatable conditions, in accordance with the requirements of the standard.
Such surfaces are of increasing industrial and utility importance, and the declared antibacterial activity of the surface can be used in various industries, thanks to which they can be used as additional factors supporting the action inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.
