AFNOR NFT 72-281 designates a French test standard that has become established as the standard method for verifying the effectiveness of airborne surface disinfection systems and is also used by the BPR, the European Biocidal Product Regulation. Around 70% of the aerosol systems offered do not meet AFNOR NFT 72-281 requirements.
Reason: This test standard is extremely strict and difficult to fulfill - germs, which are protected by a film of dried milk fixed on steel platelets, must be killed by an indirect spraying method in a defined time.
Critics complain that while this is a quality feature for systems that meet these conditions, the test conditions do not adequately reflect the reality of a thoroughly pre-cleaned room.
The Sanosil Q-Jet Superior equipped with Sanosil S015 has passed the AFNOR NFT72-281 test. (This also applies to the identical Q-Jet Advanced).
