If the question "How will we know it disinfects?" comes to mind when purchasing a disinfection product, we are confident that this blog post and our blog post titled "How to Examine an Accredited Report?" will enlighten you.
Disinfection products are on the market as products that claim to kill/inactivate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, microbial yeast, mold, and fungi. However, from a consumer's perspective, since we cannot see microorganisms like bacteria and viruses with our eyes, we cannot understand whether disinfection products work, and since we cannot perform a microbiological analysis at home, we cannot be sure of the product's effectiveness. The only solution to this problem with disinfection products today is for these products to have accredited analysis reports and for these reports to be understandable by consumers.
An accredited report is a general name given to reports that share the results of laboratory studies carried out independently in the laboratory of an accredited institution, using internationally accredited standards, calibrated devices, accredited materials and methods, and performed by an accredited analyst.
Attention! – An independent institution may not be accredited, but every accredited institution is independent.
Accredited reports vary within themselves and are preferred for proving that a product provides the claimed benefit.
The most important issue to pay attention to when examining accredited reports is to read the report correctly and to understand where the report's accreditation comes from. (For more detailed information, you can read our blog post titled "How to Examine an Accredited Report?").
Accredited reports from institutions that are globally recognized and perform their tests in accordance with international standards are the most reliable accredited reports.
An internationally valid accredited report means that its results are accepted worldwide and that the same results would be obtained even if the analysis were performed in Europe, America, Japan, or anywhere else in the world.
The trust mechanism among accreditation bodies is established through multilateral/mutual recognition agreements with international or regional organizations such as IAF (International Accreditation Forum), ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation), EA (European Accreditation Cooperation), etc., which have been established by international accreditation bodies.
In our country, the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK) is a full member of the European Accreditation (EA), the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), and is recognized by the European Accreditation (EA), the International Accreditation Forum (IAF), and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) in all accreditation fields. In summary, accredited analysis reports with TÜRKAK accreditation are internationally valid reports.
