Alcohol-free hand sanitisers
backed by UK Taskforce on Innovation, Growth and Regulatory
Reform ("TIGRR")
Byotrol plc (AIM:BYOT) the specialist infection prevention and
control company, is pleased to note new recommendations relating to
support for alcohol-free hand sanitisers, set out in the recent UK
government-sponsored TIGRR report on the UK regulatory regime post
Brexit, and published by the Prime Minister's Office.
The recommendations, once implemented, will formally put
alcohol-free hand sanitisers on a level PR and regulatory
playing-field with alcohol-based products, and will:
-- address confusion amongst consumers, healthcare professionals
and business users about what is and what is not effective against
bacteria and viruses such as coronavirus
-- provide support for effective alternative products, including
to those people with skin-sensitivity or cultural, health or safety
concerns relating to alcohol-based sanitisers
-- increase consumer choice, promote broader compliance and in turn promote public health
The recommendations can be found at (Proposal 17.5):
Taskforce on Innovation, Growth and Regulatory Reform
independent report - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Byotrol's alcohol-free, anti-viral 'Invirtu' hand sanitiser is
formulated to pass all necessary test protocols and is already
available in UK retail as Boots Anti-Viral Hand Foam, and in
numerous NHS and UK workplaces under a variety of well-known
professional brands.
Trevor Francis, Chief Technology Officer of Byotrol plc
commented :
"Many chemistries other than alcohol are effective against
viruses and bacteria and indeed many are already being used by
healthcare professionals, including surgeons. But alcohol-based
products seem to date to have been - we believe incorrectly -
favoured in advice from public agencies.
This new report shows a very welcome pathway to creating a
level-playing field for alternative efficacious hand sanitisers in
the UK, so promoting consumer choice and public health."
