BluTest Laboratories – A Tentamus Company Now Offers EN 17914 and EN 17915 Virucidal Testing
BluTest Laboratories is proud to expand its portfolio of disinfectant efficacy testing with the introduction of EN 17914:2025 and EN 17915:2025 – the latest European standards for virucidal activity.
EN 17914 and EN 17915
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) introduced EN 17914 and EN 17915 in 2025 to provide updated, harmonised methods for evaluating the virucidal activity of disinfectants in food, industrial, domestic, and institutional settings.
These standards are now essential for companies looking to:
- Demonstrate compliance with the latest European disinfectant regulations.
- Validate virucidal claims for products such as surface disinfectants, cleaning agents, and sanitisers.
- Ensure that disinfectants perform effectively under both controlled laboratory conditions and real-world use scenarios.
EN 17914 vs EN 17915: A Complete Testing Approach
- EN 17914: Quantitative Suspension Test (Phase 2, Step 1) – measures virucidal activity in liquid suspension under standardized laboratory conditions.
- EN 17915: Quantitative Surface Test (Phase 2, Step 2) – evaluates virucidal performance on non-porous hard surfaces, simulating practical application.
Together, these methods provide manufacturers with reliable, independent data to support product claims and meet regulatory expectations.
