Which of the following are the qualifications to be an EPA approved disinfectant?

  1. A virucide, fungicide, and bleach

  2. A virucide, fungicide, bactericide, and disinfectant

  3. A disinfectant and cleaner

  4. An antiseptic and a bactericide

The correct answer is: A virucide, fungicide, bactericide, and disinfectant

To be classified as an EPA-approved disinfectant, a product must demonstrate effectiveness against a range of pathogens. This includes being a virucide (effective against viruses), fungicide (effective against fungi), and bactericide (effective against bacteria). The requirement that a product must be a disinfectant is also crucial, as this term indicates it has the ability to eliminate or inactivate harmful microorganisms on surfaces. Therefore, the inclusion of virucide, fungicide, bactericide, and the label of disinfectant collectively qualifies a product for EPA approval. This comprehensive effectiveness is necessary to ensure safety and efficacy in environments such as salons, where the risk of cross-contamination is present.
