The Healthcare Regulatory Challenge
Regulatory Framework & Market RequirementsTurkey and EU Compliance Overview
Why Turkish disinfectant manufacturers need internationally accredited testing.
If you manufacture, import, or distribute disinfectants, sanitisers, antiseptics, or antibacterial products in Turkey, you need a biocidal product licence from the Turkish Ministry of Health under Biocidal Products Regulation No. 27449.

That licence requires EN-standard efficacy test data. For German and EU markets, you additionally need data that meets the VAH (Association for Applied Hygiene) standard, the most rigorous disinfection quality mark in Europe.

Until now, Turkish manufacturers had to navigate foreign laboratories, language barriers, and complex international logistics to access this testing. Noveksi removes that barrier. Our laboratory partner TECOLAB Global is the first and only laboratory outside Europe with VAH panel status, meaning reports accepted for VAH certification. We handle everything locally.

Disinfectant products must meet strict legal and scientific requirements before entering the market.

EN 14885 - Medical Area Disinfectant Testing Requirements
Scientific Methodology & Testing Parameters Validated Laboratory Protocols
All testing is conducted under controlled conditions using internationally recognised methodologies.
Key Technical Parameters
  • Contact Time: Defined exposure durations (e.g., 30 seconds to 5 minutes)
  • Concentration Levels: Tested at real-use and worst-case dilutions
  • Microbial Strains:
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Escherichia coli
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Candida albicans
  • Interfering Substances: Simulation of “dirty conditions” (organic load)
  • Performance Criteria:
  • ≥5 log reduction → bactericidal
  • ≥4 log reduction → fungicidal
Ensures reliable performance under real-life usage conditions.
VAH Certification: Europe's Most Demanding Disinfection Standard
VAH (Verbund für Angewandte Hygiene, German Association for Applied Hygiene) is the quality authority for disinfectants in Germany and influences purchasing decisions across EU healthcare institutions.
VAH certification requires:
  • Data from TWO independent expert laboratories
  • Testing at active AND inactive concentration ranges
  • Review and approval by the VAH Disinfectants Commission. Only a handful of laboratories worldwide are recognised as VAH panel laboratories. TECOLAB, via Noveksi, is the only one in Turkey, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific.
For Turkish brands targeting Germany, hospital procurement across Europe, or the EU institutional market, VAH data is essential and previously inaccessible without expensive European laboratory relationships. Noveksi makes it accessible.
Active Substance & BPR Strategy Compliance Requirements

  • Active substances must be listed under Article 95
  • Product classification based on use (PT1–PT5)
  • Alignment between formulation and regulatory category
Noveksi Services
  • Regulatory gap analysis
  • Active substance verification
  • Pre-testing compliance strategy
Reduces risk of rejection and unnecessary testing costs.
