approvals for bright water

Bright Water can be used for disinfection everywhere. Bright Water is normally produced with a strength of 500ppm.
ppm indicates the strength of the product. Bright Water is also available with 750ppm, primarily for use in the healthcare sector. The difference is not in how much it kills, but how quickly it kills.
Bright Water is the world's most effective liquid disinfectant.
Bright Water belongs to the category of biocides. All biocides must be approved by the European Chemicals Agency, ECHA. Subsequently, the national authorities must also approve the product in each individual country. In Denmark, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency and the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration are responsible for the national approval. However, the national authorities cannot approve anything that has not first been approved by ECHA. Thus, the first approval lies with ECHA.
It is a widespread misconception that the Statens Seruminstitut (SSI) must approve disinfectants, but this is not correct. SSI does not have the authority to approve products or determine the use of specific products in Denmark. Unfortunately, this is not always followed by SSI.
While an approval process is underway at ECHA, a product is allowed to be marketed. This may seem confusing to some, but that is the rule.
It is always possible to check whether a product is approved by consulting the Danish Environmental Protection Agency's Pesticide Database (BMD).
It is important to note that the database is not updated as frequently as one might wish. If a product is not in the database, especially new products, one should contact the Danish Environmental Protection Agency to make sure.

Important information about disinfectants and SSI's role

Dear customers,
We would like to clarify that the Statens Serum Institut (SSI) has no influence on which disinfectant product you as customers may use. SSI cannot therefore require that certain products or product types be used, and they are not responsible for the approval of disinfectants.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for approvals in accordance with current legislation and the EU Biocidal Products Regulation.

According to the law, it is essential that recommendations on disinfectants are made in a neutral manner without favoring specific products.

This neutrality is necessary to ensure fair competition and to give you as users the best possible basis for choosing the products that best meet your needs.
Recommendations that highlight specific products or product types over others are in violation of current legislation and competition regulations.
Unfortunately, we still experience that the legislation is not always complied with, and we are actively working to ensure that the rules regarding objectivity and neutrality are respected.

If you have questions or want more information about how to choose the right products, we are always ready to help.
