KOTITI provides testing and analysis services to generate test data for the approval of biocides under the Chemical Products Safety Act.

We conduct precise analyses across various test items to scientifically verify the safety and efficacy of biocides. By providing reliable test data that complies with relevant laws and regulations, we actively support companies in responding to biocide approval requirements.

Biocide Approval System

  • Under the Chemical Products Safety Act, manufacturers or importers of biocides must obtain approval by securing test data demonstrating the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of the substance or product.

What are Biocides?

  • The term “biocides” collectively refers to biocidal substances, biocidal
What are Biocides?
Biocidal Substances Biocidal Products Treated articles
Chemical substances, natural substances, or microorganisms used to eliminate, neutralize, or suppress harmful organisms Products whose primary purpose is the elimination of harmful organisms* Products that incorporate biocidal products for a secondary purpose beyond their main function
e.g., PHMG, CMIT/MIT e.g., Disinfectants, sterilizers, insecticides e.g., Antimicrobial filters, preservative-treated furniture
* Products may consist of one or more biocidal substances or a mixture of biocidal and non-biocidal substances, natural substances, or microorganisms.
