Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Applicable requirements depend on the product and market. Alcohol hand disinfectants may be tested to EN 1500 and EN 12791; virucidal claims may reference EN 14476. Surface or instrument disinfectants may use EN 13727 and EN 13624. Product labeling and registration must comply with the applicable national medicinal-product or biocidal-product regulations.
Class Approval	Individual antiseptic bottles and dispensers are normally not classification-society-approved.

DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV and ClassNK may verify the vessel's medical outfit or arrangements where required.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Store in the designated medical locker, sick bay or hospital space. Keep containers sealed, clearly labeled and accessible. Use wall dispensers only where compatible with the formulation and approved for the intended location. Follow the product label and shipboard medical procedures.
Maintenance Tips	Check expiry dates, container integrity and stock levels during routine medical-locker inspections. Replace opened, contaminated, leaking or expired products. Keep alcohol-based products tightly closed and away from heat, sparks and ignition sources.
Safety Notes	For external use unless the label states otherwise. Avoid eyes, ears and mucous membranes where contraindicated, and do not use chlorhexidine near the eyes or inner ear. Check for iodine, chlorhexidine or alcohol sensitivity. Do not mix antiseptics. Follow the safety data sheet and seek medical advice for significant wounds or adverse reactions.
