What is EN 17846 and why is it important?
EN 17846 is a European Standard that specifies the test method and requirements for evaluating the sporicidal activity of chemical disinfectant products against Clostridioides difficile on non-porous surfaces.
In practice, this standard ensures that laboratories rigorously test products for their ability to eliminate C. difficile spores, which are known for their resistance and persistence in healthcare environments
As a result, compliance with EN 17846 means testing has proven your sporicidal disinfectant effective and reliable, providing top-tier protection in infection control.
Why choose EN 17846-compliant sporicidal products for your infection control needs?
In the fight against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), every detail matters. That’s why we design our sporicidal products to meet the highest standards.
Proven efficacy
EN 17846 sets the benchmark for sporicidal activity, requiring products to undergo stringent testing to prove their effectiveness. In other words, if a product has passed, you’re opting for a product that independent testing has scientifically validated to perform under practical conditions.
Unmatched protection against C. difficile
Clostridioides difficile is a formidable pathogen known for causing severe gastrointestinal infections. Its spores are incredibly resilient, surviving on surfaces for long periods and resisting many common disinfectants. Our EN 17846-compliant sporicidal products are rigorously tested to ensure they effectively eliminate C. difficile spores, providing you with the confidence that your environment is safe and hygienic.
Independently tested
To ensure objectivity, our products are independently tested at an ISO 17025-accredited and VAH-listed laboratory.
Proven performance across every application
Our EN 17846-compliant products deliver proven effectiveness, whether ready to use or dilutable. As a result, this versatility ensures that you can maintain a high standard of infection control across different areas and situations, without compromising on performance.
Confidence through compliance
When it comes to infection control, peace of mind is priceless. That’s why, by selecting sporicidal products that comply with EN 17846, you’re making a proactive choice to protect your patients, staff, and visitors from the risks associated with C. difficile. In turn, this compliance guarantees that you’re using a product that meets the highest standards of efficacy.
