Testing the efficacy of disinfectants (such as Clinell Universal) against viruses is assessed against the EN14476 standard. This protocol states that demonstration efficacy against the vaccinia virus is sufficient to demonstrate efficacy against all enveloped viruses (of which monkeypox is one. The vaccinia and monkeypox viruses are very closely related, so this comparison is particular relevant.


Both Clinell Universal Wipes and Clinell Peracetic Acid (PAA) wipes have been tested against enveloped viruses by independent laboratories, according to EN14476. Both of these products pass EN14476 testing, producing a 4-log reduction (99.99%) kill against enveloped viruses in a 15 second contact time.
