This European Standard applies to products for hygienic handrub for use in areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example: – in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions; – in clinics of schools, of kindergardens and of nursing homes. and may occur in the workplace and in the home.
