Thus, the method can be used to test a variety of products such as food packaging, medical devices and household commodities. </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-427b7047 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="427b7047" data-element_type="container" id="benefits" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-24039685 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider" data-id="24039685" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="divider.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-divider"> <span class="elementor-divider-separator"> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-3851973 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="3851973" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Advantages of ISO 22196 testing</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-7888a1f6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="7888a1f6" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-bddddfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="bddddfe" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Validation of antibacterial claims</h3> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-61546654 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="61546654" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> Testing conducted using this standard allows the manufacturer to validate their claims of the antibacterial efficacy of the product, thus satisfying regulatory requirements as well as gaining customer trust. </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-23e69931 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="23e69931" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-6d357487 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="6d357487" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Regulatory compliance</h3> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-6f8bd4fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="6f8bd4fa" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> Products that meet the requirements of this standard have a better chance of complying with the regulations in various markets and this compliance is often necessary for product approval and market entry, especially in industries with stringent hygiene standards. </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-2c812ea e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="2c812ea" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-465af8c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="465af8c1" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Competitive advantage</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5ab8f538 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="5ab8f538" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> Manufacturers can use it as a marketing tool to differentiate their products from competitors.
