Cleaning and disinfection tests are basically grouped under three main headings:

•             Detergent analyzes

•             Disinfectant analysis

•             Performance tests

Detergent analysis generally includes physical and chemical analysis, microbiological analysis and bactericidal activity tests of cleaning products. Disinfectant analyzes similarly include physical and chemical analysis of disinfection products, activity tests, and bactericidal activity tests.

In accredited laboratories, fungicidal activity tests are also performed within the scope of disinfectant analyzes. The main fungicidal activity tests are as follows:

• Basic fungicidal activity test of disinfectants and antiseptics
• Fungicidal activity test of disinfectants and antiseptics used in food, home and industry
• Fungicidal activity test of disinfectants and antiseptics used in veterinary medicine

The fungicidal effect is the ability of disinfectants and antiseptics to destroy fungi, and with such disinfectants, unwanted fungus and mold formation is eliminated and their growth is prevented.

This test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies are carried out in the laboratories accredited according to the standards of TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 General Conditions for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories from domestic and foreign accreditation organizations in a reliable, fast and quality manner.

During these studies, laboratories operate in accordance with test methods and test criteria accepted worldwide and are based on many standards published by national and international organizations.

These laboratories provide reliable and impartial services, and analyzes and reports are accepted all over the world.

Mainly disinfection processes are the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms on inanimate substances. A number of physical or chemical methods are used for this process. Disinfectants are a number of chemical substances used to stop or destroy the growth of pathogenic microorganisms on inanimate substances.

Both the disinfectants and antiseptics used in the home and food sectors and the disinfectants and antiseptics used in veterinary medicine should be strong and not harmful to health.

Since antiseptics are applied directly on the skin, they should not irritate the skin, show toxic effects on the skin's tissue, do not disrupt the functioning of the body's natural defense systems, and not lose power in the presence of blood, serum and similar organic substances.

In environments where intensive antibiotics and disinfectants are used, fungi and similar harmful microorganisms gain resistance to disinfectants and antiseptics used over time. For example, bacteria are known to develop resistance to antibiotics. However, it is a known fact that bacteria develop resistance not only to antibiotics, but also to the disinfectants and antiseptics used. Today, in houses, businesses, food sector, veterinary medicine and different environments, disinfectants should be purified from harmful microorganisms.

Disinfecting environments and tools and equipment with the right disinfectants and antiseptics and with the right applications will eliminate unwanted harmful microorganisms on one hand and prevent their development and prevent possible diseases for human health. But everything depends on the proper selection and application of disinfectants and antiseptics. For this purpose, it is necessary to prove that disinfectants and antiseptics are effective against microorganisms in the environment by reliable tests. These tests also provide guidance on the method and application concentrations of disinfectants and antiseptics.

While performing these tests evaluating the effect of disinfectants, it is necessary to pay attention to many factors that affect the results. Many factors require careful consideration, from the correct selection of the test microorganism to the careful suspension of the cell suspension and the elimination of the disinfectant effect during viability control. Today, many different tests are conducted in different countries based on different principles. For example, capacity tests and practical tests are tests that create a real life environment and give more realistic results.
