What is the VAH List

It lists all products with their tested concentrations and contact times and activity spectrums. VAH certificates are issued when the products meet the requirements for quality assurance as published by VAH. These are based on efficacy testing according to standardized test methods in correspondence with the state of the art and the European (CEN) test methods, thus ensuring a high level of efficacy in actual use conditions.
