KOHKIN SIAA marks

The symbols for KOHKIN were established by the Society of Industrial Technology for Antimicrobial Articles (hereinafter referred to as SIAA).
Products that meet the following three criteria carry the SIAA marks.
(*With the exception of fiber products. Fiber products carry the SEK marks separately.)

SIAA marks represent three types of security

Antimicrobial property
The proportion of bacteria on the surface of the product is 1/100 or less of that on the surface of a non-treated product, and the antimicrobial effect remains after durability tests. Antimicrobial properties are determined from the results of tests conducted in accordance with the ISO 22196 international standard.
Safety
The criteria for safety established by SIAA have been met.
Appropriate labeling
On exhibit are the types and treated parts of antimicrobial agents.

The SIAA marks represent self-certification and conformity to the guidelines of this Society by its members and the marks for disclosure of information on quality and safety indicate full disclosure of such information. The SIAA marks can only be used by SIAA members, and the Society monitors the operation of the labeling methods for strict market control of the voluntary standards.

BOUKABI SIAA marks

The symbols for BOUKABI were established by the Society of Industrial Technology for Antimicrobial Articles (hereinafter referred to as SIAA). Products that meet the following three criteria carry the SIAA marks.
(*With the exception of fiber products. Fiber products carry the SEK marks separately.)

SIAA marks represent three types of security

Antifungal property
Verification was made that the growth of specified mold was inhibited below the standard, compared to the surface of non-treated BOUKABI products. This test conforms to the JIS and is determined by the results of SIAA test methods.
Safety
The criteria for safety established by SIAA have been met. The fungicides permitted for use are those on the antifungus positive list whose effects, safety, and use limitations have been reviewed.
Appropriate labeling
The label shows the registration number and the parts treated for BOUKABI products and fungicides. When the registration number is searched on the website of the Society, the drugs that have been used can be found.
The SIAA marks represent self-certification and conformity to the guidelines of this Society by its members and the marks for disclosure of information on quality and safety indicate full disclosure of such information. The SIAA marks can only be used by SIAA members, and the Society monitors the operation of the labeling methods for strict market control of the voluntary standards.
