GB/T 27728.3 Standard Description
GB/T 27728.3 Wet wipes and similar products The 3 Section: Specific Requirements for Disinfecting Wipes
GB/T 27728.3 Standard Introduction
With increasing consumer attention to hygiene and health, disinfectant wipes have been widely used in households, offices, public places and other environments due to their convenience and effectiveness. GB/T 27728.3 applies to disinfectant wipes used in daily life and is not applicable to medical applications. The standard defines relevant terms, classifies products, and specifies requirements for raw materials, intrinsic quality, microbial indicators and other aspects. It also standardizes test methods, inspection rules, labeling, packaging, transportation and storage requirements, providing comprehensive quality assurance and promoting the healthy development of the industry.
GB/T 27728.3 Scope of Application
GB/T 27728.3 applies to various disinfectant wipes manufactured from nonwoven fabrics, dry-laid paper or other raw materials for daily use. According to their intended use, these disinfectant wipes are classified as disinfectant wipes for human use and disinfectant wipes for object surfaces.
GB/T 27728.3 Requirements for Disinfecting Wipes
(1) Raw Material Requirements: Recycled materials and waste materials shall not be used.
(2) Disinfectant Requirements:
◎ Non-industrial grade raw materials should be used preferentially (unless there are special circumstances).
◎ Disinfectant wipes for human use and object surface use shall comply with GB 27951.
◎ Prohibited substances shall comply with GB 38850.
