The current regulation for UVC germicidal lamps has shown the deficiencies that some of these products on the market generally have.
To ensure a 99.9% effectiveness in use, the final UVC product and its de its components not only shall meet some technical standards, but also a series of high safety requirements.
But what requirements does a germicidal lamp need to comply with to make it able to disinfect safely?
Apart from meeting all the standards and being certificated by laborites and microbiological centers, the devices, in order to ensure their effectiveness, should also follow the measures below:
-
Motion sensor: The lamps should turn off automatically when detecting presence of people inside the room. GERMILED lamps have radar movement sensors in built, so the devices would disconnect if there is someone or some animal around.
-
Delayed start: The start must have a time delay so that people can leave the room before the disinfection starts. However, apart from the time delay, our germicidal lamps also carry a remote control, which will allow us to turn the device on from outside, in this way, keep people safer.
-
Timer: The duration of disinfection is vital to ensure an effective sterilization. The remote control allows us to set from outside the time that the room needs to be disinfected. Once the disinfection is finished, the lamp will automatically turn off and we will be able to enter the room without any safety issues.
-
Emergency signal: We GERMILED facilitate hanging warning signs to alert people to the danger of access to rooms during UVC-sterilization. However, if someone needs to approach the room for some reason, the security system will be activated and the lamp disconnects automatically to prevent people from possible risks.
