Dans cette étude, l’efficacité virucide de quarante-huit produits disponibles dans le commerce a été évaluée selon la méthode de suspension normalisée EN 14476 et les résultats suivants ont été obtenus : Les désinfectants à base d’alcool, les savons pour les mains, les lingettes humides, les nettoyants alcalins, les désinfectants à base de composés d’ammonium quaternaire et les agents de blanchiment à l’oxygène avaient une grande efficacité virucide contre le SRAS-CoV-2.

The recent emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a major burden for health care systems worldwide, and is a threat to our daily lives. Various effective ingredients against SARS-CoV-2 were already reported, however, since products contain various ingredients, it is also important to evaluate the effectiveness of commercially available disinfectants per se. In this study, the virucidal efficacy of forty-eight commercially available products were evaluated according to the standardized suspension method EN 14476 and the following results were obtained: Alcohol-based disinfectants, hand soaps, wet wipes, alkaline cleaners, quaternary ammonium compound sanitizers and oxygen bleach had great virucidal efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. Enveloped viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 are among the most susceptible of pathogens to formulated microbicidal actives and detergents, but as the results of this study showed, it is also necessary to pay attention to the concentration at the time of use and the required contact time.
