Safe Use of Ozone Water

What does safe use mean?

Safe use starts with following your ozone water machine manual. Use ozone water for surface cleaning only, and avoid direct contact with eyes or skin. Because it reverts to oxygen and water quickly, it leaves no harmful residues.

 

EU Regulations

Under the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, EU 528/2012), machine-generated ozone water cannot be marketed as a biocide without approval. You may say it cleans, degreases, and helps neutralize odors, but you cannot claim it disinfects. See our guides for more.

 

Tips for businesses

  • Train staff to always follow the manual.

  • Include ozone water in sustainable cleaning protocols.

  • Combine with other cleaning methods where appropriate.
