Abstract

: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, people have become aware that materials (products) can transmit infection and have begun to focus on questions such as how bacteria and germs, the sources of in-fection, maintain their infectivity on material surfaces, and the extent to which materials can or cannot prevent this. and to what extent materials can and cannot prevent it. The SIAA, a non-profit organization of many Japanese companies, had created an entirely separate interna-tional standard for materials' antibacterial, antiviral, and antibiofilm properties (products). The authors have studied the academic basis for the operation of the standards and were deeply in-volved as researchers in establishing one of the standards. This paper describes the interna-tional standards and some representative examples of the authors' actual use of these standards and explains the current status and future problems.
