By querying my country's industry standard WS575-2017 "Sanitary Wet Wipes Sanitary Requirements", the reporter found that the scope of application of sanitary wipes and disinfection wipes is different. Sanitary wipes are suitable for cleaning and sterilization of hands, skin (intact), mucous membranes and ordinary surfaces. . The scope of application of disinfectant wipes is mainly based on the group standard T/WSJD001-2019 "Hygienic Requirements for Carrier Disinfectants" issued by the China Health Supervision Association. This type of wipes is also suitable for hands and intact skin, but not for mucous membranes. It is more suitable for disinfection of environmental surfaces, medium and low risk medical device surfaces and medical supplies surfaces.
The difference in microbial indicators between the two types of wet wipes is mainly reflected in the difference in the total number of bacterial colonies and the total number of fungal colonies.
It is important to note that although some disinfectant wipes are effective against the new coronavirus, they may be counterproductive if used incorrectly. According to relevant standards, the disinfection time of disinfectant wipes for hands is ≤1min, and the action time for environmental surfaces and ordinary object surfaces is ≤15min.
