BS 8628
This British Standard sets the benchmark for UV-C-LED disinfection efficacy testing.
To address the lack of standardized testing for UV devices, the European disinfectant standard writing body CEN published a new standard in Spring 2022: BS 8628:2022. This standard is tailored for UV devices, based on the existing EN 17272:2020 airborne surface disinfection standard with minor adjustments. It focuses on assessing the efficacy of UV devices in disinfecting surfaces within enclosed spaces.
In the Efficacy Test of BS 8628:2022, stainless steel carriers are inoculated with microorganisms and placed inside a test chamber. The UV system is positioned at specified distances, and the disinfection cycle begins. After recording the contact time, carriers are processed, and the results are expressed in logarithmic scale for compliance assessment.
Requirements of the BS 8628 standard:
Bactericidal activity: 5lg or greater reduction for vegetative bacteria and 4lg or greater reduction for bacterial spores and fungi on test-carriers compared to control-carriers not exposed to the process for the specified test organisms.

WHY USE UV-C LED RADIATION?
COST EFFICIENT
HEAT FREE
ASSURANCE
ECO FRIENDLY
A long lifespan, no lamp replacements, and minimal electricity use. One single radiation dose consumes only 5W of electricity.
UV-C LED's work at room temperatur, safeguarding your objects without heat or warm-up times.
Reduce chemical use and save water with UV-C LED disinfection, enjoy a mercury-free solution.
Prevent cross-contamination.
Consistent, reproducible object disinfection.
Manual disinfection does not always ensure sufficient pathogen reduction.
Biocidal resistance becomes a challenge in preventing HAI's.
Easy to use, single button operated. Guaranteed disinfection in less than 5 minutes.
As the instruments remain dry, no need for additional handling.
The RAY-TWO features no
fragile glass tubes and the UV-C LED’s are immediately switched off by the triple safety circuit.
UV-C LED radiation produces no harmful ozone gas.
All materials can be disinfected, such as plastics or electronic devices. No cooling, 100% silent operation.
