AFNOR standard NF T72-281

AFNOR NF T72-281 standard: Results obtained by IBL SPECIFIK
IBL Specifik has developed top-of-the-range equipment that has obtained airborne disinfection standards (= standards for disinfecting surfaces by air) with the APABIO disinfectant.
The standard in question is standard NF T 72 281. This is a French standard for determining bactericidal, yeasticidal, fungicidal and sporicidal activity for airborne surface disinfection.
IBL Specifik aerial disinfection equipment complies with the NF T72-281 standard, which guarantees its effectiveness.

Here is an extract of the results obtained for the appliance / product pair : AIRBIO / APABIO in 2010:

Strains tested T = Count of control supports (average of 2 supports) E = Number of supports tested - n'1 + n'2 (average of the 3 supports) d = reduction rate = disinfectant activity NF T 72-281 standard requirements
