ACCREDITATIONS

In order to prove the effectiveness of Raypath sponges, numerous tests and studies have been conducted in the following research centres:

• Jagiellonian University, Chair of Microbiology of the Faculty of Medicine
• Krakow University of Economics, Faculty of Commodity Science
• Avantor Performance Materials Poland S.A. Centre
• JARS Microbiology Laboratory
• ECCA and SILLIKER quality assurance bacteriology centres in Belgium

The results of these tests have demonstrated that the effectiveness of our Raypath cleaning system is equal to or better than that of various chemical products.

Numerous studies were performed to compare the effectiveness of RAYPATH sponges against traditional methods using cleaning products.

Dr Stanislaw Pfeifer (PhD in Commodity Science and an expert in microfibre products) and his team tasked with the experiments reported the following results.

Traditional method (cotton sponge + water + detergent) vs. RAYPATH system (microfibre sponge with memory + water) on dirty areas

The research comparing the effectiveness of three of the most commonly used detergents against Raypath microfibre sponges produced the following results:

These two surfaces (ceramic hob and wooden surface) were chosen because they are similar to the surfaces found in industrial facilities, schools, offices, hospitals, etc.

Traditional method (cotton sponge + water + detergent) vs. the RAYPATH system (memory microfibre sponge + water) for eliminating the Aspergillus Niger fungus (Aspergillus Niger is a filamentous mould fungus which is potentially dangerous to human health and found in plants, fruits, dust and in the air at a level of 1 to 20 spores per cubic metre / average daily inhalation of between 10 and 30 spores)

Studies comparing the third detergent product (the best-performing detergent from the previous study) and Raypath memory microfibre sponges produced the following results:

According to various laboratory tests which were published in the international scientific press, about 650 different strains of viruses are eliminated thanks to the use of silver molecules.

Here are some examples:

Each product in the Raypath line is approved by the National Institute of Public Health and National Institute of Hygiene of Poland. These certificates are recognised in all of the Member States of the European Union.

The analysis methods for the tests to compare the Raypath system with conventional cleaning methods were in accordance with the following standards: AATCC 100-2004, PN-ISO 18593:2005 and DACH (German accreditation body for chemical laboratories).

They were also approved and certified by the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products.

Implementation of the Raypath cleaning system allows companies in the hospitality sector to fully meet HACCP standards, which serve to identify, assess and control the significant hazards to food safety.

Our Raypath products presented during the 2011 and 2012 European Week of Waste Reduction were awarded with official labelling from IBGE Brussels Environment.

In 2011, this institution also chose us as a winner in the Brussels Region Companies category, which allowed us to participate in the European final in Paris a few months later.

Thanks to the multiple benefits for the environment it provided in a building that implemented our Raypath cleaning system, our project was nominated in the “2016 Belgian Energy and Environment Awards“ competition.
