Live online workshop: biocides disinfectants efficacy

22 and 23 January 2024

This workshop will take place over 2 half-days and will develop an understanding of the regulatory approach to efficacy assessment of disinfectant products (Main Group 1) under the GB Biocidal Products Regulations (GB BPR).

 

It will provide a general overview of the efficacy requirements for this type of product alongside specific advice for the five product types in this group. The workshop will also address common issues related to labelling and efficacy testing for these product types.
