SIAA is an industry organization that certifies marks for Kohkin/Boukabi.

The performance of antimicrobial products cannot be judged based on their appearance. It is also difficult to determine the safety of the antibacterial agents used in the products.

Therefore, SIAA permits the SIAA mark to be displayed on products that have antibacterial performance and safety according to the standards for improving the quality and reliability of antibacterial products

Furthermore, SIAA has established standards not only for bacteria but also for molds and viruses, and started the operation of the SIAA antifungal mark in 2015 and antiviral mark in 2019.

To create a standard, SIAA has consistently collaborated with industry, government, academia and consumer organizations. At that time, the most important philosophies we valued were "sincerely," "openly," "innovative," and "with the public interest."

This SIAA attitude is trusted and supported not only by members but also by consumers.

Then, SIAA, which was founded with about 100 members at the start, has developed into an organization with more than 1,200 members by 2022. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the members and related parties for their tremendous support.

Since the end of the 20th century, we have experienced a pandemic of infectious diseases, and we are entering a new life that coexists with the corona virus.

The concept of antimicrobials is based on the premise that bacteria and viruses are always present in our surroundings and that we need to control the risks in our daily lives. "This is a concept that is consistent with the "age of infectious diseases.

As the term "the age of infectious diseases" suggests, "healthy and safe life" has become a more important social issue than ever before.
