HHA Product Recommendations

When selecting an alcohol-based handrub product, HHA recommends:

• The Product meets the EN1500 testing standard for bactericidal effect
• The Product has relevant regulatory approval as a hand hygiene product for a healthcare setting

However, product selection is ultimately the choice of each health care facility, and other factors should also be considered, such as:

• Dermal tolerance
• Aesthetic preferences such as fragrance, colour, texture and ease of use
• Practical considerations such as availability, convenience and functioning of dispenser, and ability to prevent contamination
• Cost issues

Please note that the above information on product selection is a recommendation only. HHA do not promote specific products, nor do they mandate product selection. Product selection is ultimately the choice of each health care facility.
