3 S E C T I O N 1. 0 Introduction The Bioguard test report pack has been produced to provide independent assessment of product performance in respect to microbiocidal activity, environmental impact and cleaning capabilities. The testing institutions and test protocols selected were chosen to ensure the application of the most stringent and comprehensive testing regimes. The microbiocidal tests selected for this report pack are for those organisms which we believe typically represent the highest risk elements in the medical, food and industrial environments. We have carried out a large number of tests and should you have a specific requirement not covered by the data included in this pack, please advise us and we would be happy to review our records and provide any available reports. Our companies product testing philosophy has not only been instrumental in the successful development of our leading edge product range, but also provides our clients with the important reassurance of its superior performance as confirmed by the independent test results. It is our understanding that no other hygiene or infection control company provides these levels of independent verification of product performance. Should you have any queries in respect to the data contained in these reports, please do not hesitate to get in contact. If you require further information, please contact PO Box 858, Northampton, NN2 1AF, United Kingdom T: +44(0) F: +44(0) info@bioguardhygiene.com 3 proven hygiene solutions
