Approved, tested and safe disinfection
Our disinfection solutions are backed by regulatory approvals, independent testing and safety documentation.
Neuthox® is tested by accredited laboratories according to recognised European standards, documenting its high effectiveness under defined conditions. Relevant approvals apply to specific products, applications and markets and support safe and compliant use. Neuthox is not classified as hazardous, and its Safety data sheet contains no hazard pictograms.
Regulatory approval across our applications
Danish Clean Water is listed under Article 95 of the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), a fundamental requirement for suppliers of biocidal active substances and products on the EU market. Our listing spans a broad range of product types, providing a regulatory foundation for our disinfection solutions across the applications and markets where they are authorised.
Regulatory approval across our applications
Danish Clean Water is listed under Article 95 of the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), a fundamental requirement for suppliers of biocidal active substances and products on the EU market. Our listing spans a broad range of product types, providing a regulatory foundation for our disinfection solutions across the applications and markets where they are authorised.
Our Article 95 listing also includes both ways we provide Neuthox:
On-site generation in DCW units
Active chlorine generated from sodium chloride by electrolysis
Bottled Neuthox
Active chlorine released from hypochlorous acid
What is the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR)?
- Regulates biocidal products such as disinfectants in the EU.
- Sets requirements for effectiveness and safety, with the aim of protecting people and the environment.
Across the two listings, we are included for the following product types:
| Product type | Application |
|---|---|
| PT1 | Human hygiene |
| PT2 | Disinfection not intended for direct application to humans or animals |
| PT3 | Veterinary hygiene |
| PT4 | Food and feed area |
| PT5 | Drinking water |
| PT11 | Liquid-cooling and processing systems (on-site generation only) |
Specific authorisations vary by application and market. Our products are approved by the relevant national authorities in the countries where they are sold.
We are also a member and shareholder of ECA Consortium, supporting the regulatory approval of electrochemically activated disinfectants under the BPR.

Compliance in Great Britain
In Great Britain, we are listed on the GB Article 95 List for the active substance: Active chlorine generated from sodium chloride by electrolysis, covering PT2, PT3, PT4, PT5 and PT11. In addition, our DCW Mini and DCW Medium (T15) units are included on the Drinking Water Inspectorate's list of approved products for use in public water supply in the United Kingdom (references 56/4/1572 and 56/4/1575).
Tested according to European standards
Neuthox has been tested by accredited laboratories according to recognised European standards, documenting its effectiveness against a broad range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi.
The tests demonstrate high performance across a range of relevant disinfection applications.
What are European Standards (EN)?
- Provide recognised, standardised methods for testing disinfectant efficacy.
- Define specific performance criteria for different microorganisms, expressed as log reduction – for example, 4 log equals 99.99% and 5 log equals 99.999%.
- Specify test conditions such as concentration, contact time, temperature and soiling.
Selected EN test results
The results below are selected examples from tests according to the stated EN standards.
| Microorganism | Reduction achieved |
Concentration | Contact time | EN standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legionella pneumophila | 99.999% | 3 ppm | 60 min | EN 13623 |
| E. coli | 99.999% | 50 ppm | 15 sec | EN 13697 |
| Salmonella enterica | 99.9999% | 52 ppm | 60 min | EN 13697 |
| Human coronavirus 229E | 99.99% | 200 ppm | 30 sec | EN 14476 |
| Candida albicans | 99.9% | 236 ppm | 5 min | EN 13697 |
