There are a number of key features that must be present in a strong disinfectant. For example, it should be colorless and odorless. It should be soluble in water at neutral pH. It must be stable, ie be active at any pH. It should be fast and effective on all microorganisms. It should not be toxic to human health. It should not damage the surfaces it is applied. It should not affect the activity of the organic materials on the surfaces it is applied. Depending on the areas it is used, some of these features come to the fore.

In this context, disinfectants and antiseptics used in households and in the food sector should be strong and should not harm human health.

Disinfectants are a number of chemical substances used to stop the growth of microorganisms causing pathogen, sudden diseases and to destroy the colonies that are kept on inanimate substances. Antiseptics, on the other hand, are a number of chemicals that prevent and destroy the growth of microorganisms that cause pathogens in diseases.

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

Among the fungicidal activity tests performed in disinfectant analyzes in accredited laboratories are fungicidal activity tests of disinfectants and antiseptics used in food, home and industry. These studies are carried out in laboratories in good quality, fast and reliable way.

These tests use standards published by various national and international organizations. The standard comes first:

• TS EN 1275 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Basic fungicidal activity - Test methods and properties (stage 1)

This standard specifies a test method to determine the fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics which form a homogeneous and stable preparation in water.
