  • Every page footer carries the date the reviewer last verified the content.
  • Standards pages (BS EN, IUPAC) are reviewed annually or at standard revision.
  • Concentrate pages are reviewed quarterly against the manufacturer page and SDS.
  • Methodology pages are reviewed on substantive change to a referenced standard.

§ 3Conflict of interest

  • No financial relationship with any concentrate or disinfectant brand named on this site.
  • No paid placement, no sponsored mention, no affiliate links on this site.

§ 4Editorial process
