Ecolab’s hand disinfectants for hygienic and surgical hand disinfection are permitted as medicinal products in Germany.
As part of the approval process for medicinal products, strict requirements are placed on tests of the shelf life of the products.
Part of the tests are long-term stability studies as well as tests on the shelf life after the opening of the original seal, which pursuant to Guideline CPMP/QWP/2934/99 must have a practical study design. The stability of our products was thus tested after repeated opening and closing of the containers and the stability in the wall dispenser was also determined. Information on the shelf life as well as the respective shelf life after opening of the products can be found in the product identification.

As a rule, the expiration date is printed in the immediate vicinity of the batch number. Information on the shelf life after opening can be found in the text of the package information under “Instructions and information on the storage of the medicinal product”, e.g. “Shelf life after opening 6 months.”

For our hand disinfectant Spitacid™, the following shelf life applies after opening: 6 months

Products that are used in a wall dispenser after opening are of course not completely closed, so that external influences such as temperature and air circulation in the environment can lead to the alcoholic active substances gradually evaporating.
Results from studies confirm a shelf life of 3 months for our hand disinfectants in wall dispensers.
