Ozone Release Test

The works and procedures for the licensing of products that physically show their effect used in the field of public health are carried out by the Ministry of Health in accordance with the "Communiqué on Biocidal Products Without Active Substance".

In this context, devices / systems that are produced and disinfected in various ways such as ventilation system disinfection with UV C rays, air (environment) disinfection and surface disinfection must be released to the market in accordance with the relevant legislation.

What is Ozone?

Ozone gas (O3) is a colorless gas in the upper layers of the atmosphere consisting of 3 oxygen atoms. It is the main reason why the sky is blue. The main task of ozone gas is to protect the Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays originating from the Sun. Ozone plays an important role in cleaning the air. It is formed as a result of lightning in the lower layers thanks to UV rays in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

Ministry of Health Decision on Ozone Test

From accredited laboratories where ozone emission in UV-C Devices / Systems (the ozone emission limit set by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA for indoor human exposure is 0.05 ppm) according to the ASTMD 4490-96 (2) test method must be proven by the document to be obtained. In case the ozone release is above the limit, the products will be evaluated within the scope of the "Biocidal Product Regulation".

Possible manual UVC disinfection systems produced for vehicle air conditioning systems and personal use have not been evaluated in this application.

As Nanolab Laboratory Group, we carry out Ozone emission tests under our INDUSTRIA brand accredited according to TS EN ISO 17025 standard.
