UV-C Technology Efficacy Testing

Test labs offer both UKAS accredited and in-house validated testing to determine the efficacy of your UV-C technology in terms of microbial activity, safety levels and UV-C output measurement.

Among the ultraviolet wavelength ranges, UV-C has been shown to possess the highest efficacy in terms of microbial inactivation and, as a result, this technology is widely used to decontaminate surfaces, air, and water.

Test labs offer both UKAS accredited and in-house validated testing to determine the efficacy of your UV-C technology in terms of microbial activity, safety levels and UV-C output measurement.​

While many UV-C whole-room decontamination devices have been developed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the technology has also been utilised in more novel ways. At Test Labs, we have experience in adapting the test methods of UV-C standards to better fit these devices, helping us provide data that more accurately reflects the device’s intended usage.
