It supports hygiene teams and procurement managers in identifying problematic disinfectants, assessing the need for substitution and selecting suitable alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>The process compares the possible risks of disinfectants to human health and the environment. The first step is to examine whether a product used contains ingredients that could have significant or long-term negative effects on health or the aquatic environment.<\/p>\n<p>The basis for this is the ABC categorization of the ingredients. Substances with particularly problematic properties are assigned to category A. If a product contains such a substance, a need for substitution is assumed and a more detailed examination of suitable alternatives is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>The hazard analysis can be applied to different product groups:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>hand and skin disinfectants,<\/li>\n<li>surface disinfectant,<\/li>\n<li>instrument disinfectant,<\/li>\n<li>Laundry disinfectant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For a comprehensive analysis, information on the ingredients classified as dangerous and their concentrations is required. In addition, the type of application, the required spectrum of activity, the concentration used and the amount consumed are taken into account. The same information should also be available for possible alternative products.<\/p>\n<p>If a need for substitution is determined, a comparative product evaluation follows. The disinfectant used is compared with products that are suitable for the same purpose and spectrum of activity, but are expected to pose fewer risks to health and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The WIDES disinfectant database supports this assessment. It provides information on the effectiveness, the ingredients and the classification of the hazardous substances it contains. In addition, it makes it easier to search for products that are suitable for a comparable area of \u200b\u200bapplication.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the process is not to forego hygienically necessary disinfection. Rather, among the products that have been proven to be effective and suitable for use, those that pose as little risk to people and the environment as possible should be selected.<\/p>\n<p>The process was used in the SAICM 2.0 project to advise hygiene teams and procurement managers in 40 hospitals on four continents. It combines requirements for effectiveness with criteria for preventive health and environmental protection and thus creates a comprehensible basis for substitution and procurement decisions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; text_align=&#8221;right&#8221; mobile_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;]<h3 class=\"grve-element grve-title grve-align-inherit grve-h5 grve-with-line grve-bottom-line\"><span>Downloads &amp; Links<\/span><span class=\"grve-title-line grve-bg-primary-1\" style=\"width: 50px;height: 2px;\"><\/span><\/h3>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;download&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tb-klade.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SAICM-2_0-Bericht.pdf\">PDF: SAICM 2.0 Report<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tb-klade.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Gefaehrdungsanalyse-und-Produkt-Benchmarking-von-Desinfektionsmittel.pdf\">PDF: Hazard analysis and product benchmarking of disinfectants<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tb-klade.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SAICM-2_0-WHO-Case-Study.pdf\">PDF: SAICM 2.0 &#8211; WHO Case Study<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row section_type=&#8221;container-width&#8221; padding_top_multiplier=&#8221;4x&#8221; padding_bottom_multiplier=&#8221;4x&#8221; rc_bg_type=&#8221;image&#8221; rc_bg_image=&#8221;692&#8243; rc_bg_image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; rc_bg_color_overlay=&#8221;black&#8221; columns_gap=&#8221;none&#8221; mobile_columns_vertical_gap=&#8221;none&#8221; rc_margin_bottom=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/12&#8243; content_width=&#8221;custom&#8221; vertical_content_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; rc_bg_type=&#8221;color&#8221; rc_add_shadow=&#8221;small-shadow&#8221; expand_column_bg=&#8221;expand-bg-left&#8221; tablet_width=&#8221;1-2&#8243; mobile_column_order=&#8221;2&#8243; mobile_expand_column_bg=&#8221;reset&#8221; grve_css=&#8221;{&#8220;desktop&#8220;:{&#8220;margin-top&#8220;:&#8220;5%&#8220;,&#8220;margin-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;5%&#8220;,&#8220;margin-left&#8220;:&#8220;-5%&#8220;,&#8220;border-top-right-radius&#8220;:&#8220;10px&#8220;,&#8220;border-bottom-right-radius&#8220;:&#8220;10px&#8220;,&#8220;padding-top&#8220;:&#8220;10%&#8220;,&#8220;padding-right&#8220;:&#8220;10%&#8220;,&#8220;padding-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;10%&#8220;,&#8220;class&#8220;:&#8220;grve-wpb-1737559463703&#8220;},&#8220;tablet_landscape&#8220;:{&#8220;margin-left&#8220;:&#8220;0&#8220;},&#8220;tablet_portrait&#8220;:{&#8220;margin-left&#8220;:&#8220;0&#8220;,&#8220;padding-left&#8220;:&#8220;10%&#8220;},&#8220;mobile_landscape&#8220;:{&#8220;margin-top&#8220;:&#8220;0&#8220;,&#8220;margin-right&#8220;:&#8220;10px&#8220;,&#8220;margin-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;-100px&#8220;,&#8220;margin-left&#8220;:&#8220;10px&#8220;,&#8220;border-top-left-radius&#8220;:&#8220;8px&#8220;,&#8220;border-top-right-radius&#8220;:&#8220;8px&#8220;,&#8220;border-bottom-right-radius&#8220;:&#8220;8px&#8220;,&#8220;border-bottom-left-radius&#8220;:&#8220;8px&#8220;,&#8220;padding-top&#8220;:&#8220;5%&#8220;,&#8220;padding-right&#8220;:&#8220;15px&#8220;,&#8220;padding-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;5%&#8220;,&#8220;padding-left&#8220;:&#8220;15px&#8220;}}&#8221; rc_bg_color=&#8221;#95C01E&#8221; custom_content_width=&#8221;400px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Hazard analysis and product comparison of disinfectants[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;7\/12&#8243; tablet_width=&#8221;1-2&#8243; mobile_column_order=&#8221;1&#8243; grve_css=&#8221;{&#8220;desktop&#8220;:{&#8220;margin-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;0&#8220;,&#8220;class&#8220;:&#8220;grve-wpb-1737549085478&#8220;},&#8220;mobile_landscape&#8220;:{&#8220;margin-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;25px&#8220;}}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; text_align=&#8221;right&#8221; mobile_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]The hazard analysis was developed as part of the international project SAICM 2.0.
