Biocides are heavily regulated in the EU and the UK. From 1st January 2021, the responsibility for setting and overseeing biocide regulation in the UK has passed from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to the UK’s Health & Safety Executive (HSE).
The HSE has adopted ECHA’s regulations and registrations for the time being and is establishing its register of authorised, active substances and suppliers. Centrego is registered with ECHA and the HSE for the supply of biocides under the classifications of:
Active chlorine generated from sodium chloride by electrolysis (Redefined from Active Chlorine: manufactured by the reaction of hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite produced in situ), and Active chlorine released from hypochlorous acid (Redefined from Active Chlorine: manufactured by the reaction of hypochlorous acid and sodium hypochlorite produced in situ)
HOCl is the ideal biocide for environments that require the highest hygiene standards to control the transmission and spread of pathogens, including enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. Facilities such as care homes, dental surgeries, schools, nurseries and universities and health clinics where infection control is a primary responsibility require safe and rapid-acting biocides with high efficacy performance. HOCl meets all these requirements at low concentrations, killing pathogens and protecting people and the environment.
Compliance statements are required on product labelling.
