Statements such as "kills 99.9% of germs" that are often seen on various products are considered antimicrobial claims. If you are making this type of claim, stating your device kills, reduces, mitigates or repels pests, including microorganisms, your product is considered a germicidal device and therefore subject to U.S. regulations. This presentation discusses how to determine which requirements apply to your device, such as differing between medical and non-medical products, and chemical and non-chemical pesticide devices.

An overview of the typical germicidal test process is presented and different variables that affect testing are explored. Viral testing will be looked at in depth, using real test examples from Intertek's virology lab to help illustrate how different types of viruses greatly affect the length and complexity of testing.
