Testing TouchClean anti-microbial coating 

TouchClean has been tested to EN13697:2001 - A stringent testing method for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics. It is a quantitative non porous surface test for the evaluation of bactericidal and/or fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectants used in the food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas.

The test was carried out by applying the product to a metal surface to replicate the actual use and MRSA bacteria were added to this surface for the test. Users should be wary of tests that have been carried out in aqueous environments (adding to bacteria in a body of liquid) as this does not reflect actual conditions in use and are not real world tests.

A copy of the test certificates are available upon request.

Touch clean hardware is a safe cost effective range of anti-viral or anti-bacterial (antimicrobial) range of door handles.
