China National Standard

1. WS/T 367 367-2012 ” Regulation of Disinfection Technique in Healthcare Settings ” P Page 15, Appendix A.3 Effect monitoring of ultraviolet disinfection.
2. The 2009 version of ” Technical Specifications for Disinfection in Hospitals ” Page 9, 2.3 UV disinfection.
3. Ultraviolet germicidal lamp GB19258 GB19258-2003 P age 4, rated value of ultraviolet radiation intensity intensity.

The above three national standards stipulate the following:

1. The peak wavelength of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp (low low-pressure mercury lamp) is 253.7nm, which has a germicidal function.
2. The radiation intensity of the new 30W straight tu be ultraviolet lamp is greater than 100μW/cm2 as qualified.
3. The radiation intensity of the 30W straight tube ultraviolet lamp in use is greater than 70μW/cm2 as qualified qualified.
4. Different powers and different shapes of ultraviolet lamps have different radiation intensity values that are judged to be qualified.
5. The UV probe is placed at the center of the tested ultraviolet lamp at a vertical distance of 1 meter.

UV scale hook
In order to comply with UV germicidal lamp national standards, the UV light meter must be located at vertically one meter below the middle of a lamp tube to measurement. Our company also provides UV scale hooks, which is 1m long. Place the instrument as shown below and hang it directly onto the lamp to facilitate on on-site measurement of UV intensity.

Special instructions for germicidal lamp measurement

1. Determining whether UV lamp power is up to standard
   To meet the requirements of disinfection regulations, the automatic shutdown time is not less than 5 minutes. It is recommended to set the automatic shutdown time to 10 minutes. The instrument can automatically power off (1 to 255 minutes optional) optional), data recorded before automatic shutdown

   • No.1 recorded data is the latest recorded data. P REC is the power value of the last shutdown time, which is used to determine whether the germicidal lamp is qualified.
   • The tester places the instrument in the manner required by the test standard, turns on the instrument, and turns on the germicidal lamp before leaving the site. After the disinfection is completed, turn off the UV lamp (the disinfection time is generally much longer than 10 minutes, and the instrument has been automatically shut down at this time). The tester enters the site to turn on the instrument, and the data displayed on the instrument is the last measuring data.
