AsepticSure approval of international safety standards clears path for global commercialisation
Medizone International, Inc, the developer of AsepticSure, a disinfection technology that combines ozone and hydrogen peroxide to achieve unprecedented kill rates of bacteria and viral pathogens in a wide range of commercial applications including healthcare, biodefense, and public health preparedness, announced today that the Company has received full electrical safety approval for all models of AsepticSure.
The testing and approval was administered by QPS Evaluation Services, a nationally and internationally accredited independent third-party testing, certification and field evaluation body headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The approval means that AsepticSure has achieved full compliance with the applicable international safety standards which provide a baseline requirement that must be met in order to pursue marketing in all jurisdictions, including Asia and the Middle East. Although Medizone will be required to apply for a separate approval in each country, compliance with these international safety standards will greatly facilitate this process.
"We are very pleased to announce that AsepticSure technology has received full approval for electrical safety," said Dr. Michael Shannon, President and Director of Medical Affairs of Medizone International. "With respect to future marketing endeavors in North America, third-party certification of electrical products is mandated by law; without such certification, marketing would not be permitted. Approval of our AsepticSure system is a major step forward towards full commercialisation."
The achievement of full compliance with the relevant international safety standards provides the framework for detailed manufacturing specifications that will be incorporated in the Company's expanded manufacturing plans.
