Products Tested to Meet EU Standards

When it comes to hygiene products, safety and quality are paramount, especially for those used in healthcare facilities and restaurants where cleanliness is a top priority.

For over three decades, Freshening has built a reputation based on rigorous standards, comprehensive testing, and a commitment to excellence across all our products, including custom wet wipes for private label and contract manufacturing clients.

In fact, almost all hospitals and healthcare facilities in Singapore rely on Freshening’s products to support their hygiene and infection control needs. In addition to healthcare, the majority of restaurants in Singapore also rely on Freshening for their custom wet wipes, further demonstrating the versatility and dependability of our products across different industries.

Our commitment to safety and quality begins with an intensive research and development (R&D) process. Each product—whether it’s a hospital-grade disinfectant or a food-safe wipe—undergoes thorough in-house testing by our R&D team. We evaluate everything from antibacterial efficacy to skin compatibility and durability, ensuring each product performs as required in real-world settings.

We are proud to ensure that our products meet and exceed the European Union (EU) standards, which are some of the most rigorous hygiene and safety benchmarks in the world. Products are subjected to detailed assessments to ensure they comply with EU regulations concerning health, safety, and environmental impact. This includes testing for factors such as microbial contamination, allergen presence, and material safety. We work with independent, accredited laboratories to perform these tests, validating our results and providing external confirmation of the high standards we uphold.

Every claim we make—whether it’s about antibacterial efficacy, skin sensitivity, or virucidal properties—is supported by professional test reports, ensuring transparency and credibility.

You may also notice the presence of EN numbers on nearly all our hygiene products, such as EN 14476. These are European standards for testing the effectiveness of disinfectants, antibacterial wet wipes and other hygiene products, ensuring that our products are proven to be effective against harmful viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. EN 14476, for example, specifically assesses the virucidal activity of disinfectants, certifying that our wipes meet rigorous infection control requirements and are safe to use even in healthcare settings.

This rigorous approach to quality extends beyond our house brands to our private label and contract manufacturing offerings. Our clients, both local and worldwide depend on us to deliver products that uphold their brand reputation. This is exactly what we do. Through rigorous testing by multiple accredited laboratories, we ensure that each product meets the highest standards of quality, reliability, and performance.
