Which viruses does the Validation page list as tested?
The Validation page lists seven viruses as tested: SARS-CoV-2, Human coronavirus 229E, Coxsackievirus B6, Bovine coronavirus, Pseudo-type SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A H3N2 and Phi6 bacteriophage.
The reports the company can cite for them are these. Guangdong Detection Center of Microbiology, Report 2020FM20686R01E, 13 August 2020, tested a nonwoven filter medium against influenza A virus (H3N2) under ISO 18184:2014. Textile Testing Institute – Brno (TZÚ), Test Report AZL 26/0757-02, 3 July 2026, a laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, tested a MERV 15A filter medium under ISO 20743 and ISO 18184. Its antiviral result is against bacteriophage Phi6 under ISO 18184. Tampere University, Department of Virology, report dated 1 April 2021, tested a treated material against human coronavirus 229E and Coxsackievirus B6. Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, report dated 29 April 2021, tested a treated material under ISO 18184. The peer-reviewed paper is Gong, Or, Sze et al., Microbiology Spectrum 12(9), e0409723, American Society for Microbiology, September 2024, doi 10.1128/spectrum.04097-23. The paper reports laboratory results on SARS-CoV-2 in contact with treated textile, on aerosolised bovine coronavirus passed through a test filter in a wind tunnel, and on bacterial viability on treated textiles; each result belongs to the article that was tested. Scientific Reports (2023) 13:13947 compared a C-POLAR treated filter with an untreated spunlace nonwoven filter against an aerosolised pseudotyped virus. A reported result applies to the sample that was tested, under the conditions named in the report that recorded it and under its standard where the report names one.
