4.5.1.    Use-specific instructions for use
Thoroughly clean and rinse the surface. Dry the surface before applying the disinfection product.
Wiping and mopping:
At the end of work-shift, the working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup/canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Soak a clean dry wipe/mop in freshly prepared working solution and wipe/mop the surface until it is completely wetted. Keep the surface wet and allow to take effect for the specified contact time.
Spraying (tanks):
The working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup/canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Working solution is sprayed onto the inner surface of tanks by using a spraying device until it is completely wetted. Keep the surface wet and allow to take effect for the specified contact time.
Immersion:
The working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup/canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Immerse equipment completely in working solution for the specified contact time. The disinfection bath can only be used once.
CIP:
The required quantities of product and water are pumped into the closed system by an automatic dosage system to a final concentration as needed for the respective activity. Volume of product needed to disinfect the surface depends on the size of the closed system. Circulate the working solution in the closed system for the specified contact time.

For immersion:
Application: no personal protective equipment (PPE) needed.
For CIP applications:
Application: closed system; no PPE needed.
The following secondary exposure control measure applies to all application methods:
PPE specified for the user shall also be worn by persons working in the vicinity of the application or who may otherwise be exposed to the biocidal product.
Professional users must ensure that no bystanders are present in the treatment area during application. If bystanders have to be present, the users have to ensure that those wear the same PPE as themselves.
The room shall be sealed and re-entry prevented after disinfection took place. It shall be indicated that a ventilation process after disinfection is running (information of other workers).
Re-entry is only permitted once the air concentration of the active substance has dropped below the reference value (Adverse Effect Concentration (AEC) inhalation of 0,0106 mg/m 3 ).
Unprotected persons should be kept away from treated areas until surfaces are dry.
Regarding the personal protective equipment listed in this section, this is without prejudice to the application by employers of Council Directive 98/24/EC and other Union legislation in the area of health and safety at work.

4.1.1.    Use-specific instructions for use
Thoroughly clean and rinse the surface. Dry the surface before applying the disinfection product.
Wiping and mopping:
At the end of work-shift, the working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup or canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Soak a clean dry wipe or mop in freshly prepared working solution and wipe or mop the surface until it is completely wetted. Keep the surface wet and allow to take effect for the specified contact time.
Spraying (tanks):
The working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup or canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Working solution is sprayed onto the inner surface by using a spraying device until it is completely wetted. Keep the surface wet and allow to take effect for the specified contact time.
Immersion:
The working solution is prepared by dosing the required quantity of the product into water. This is done manually by using an appropriate package size or by using a measuring cup or canister pump for correct dilution in water for the activity needed. Immerse equipment completely in working solution for the specified contact time. The disinfection bath can only be used once.
CIP:
The required quantities of product and water are pumped into the closed system by an automatic dosage system to a final concentration as needed for the respective activity. Volume of product needed to disinfect the surface depends on the size of the closed system. Circulate the working solution in the closed system for the specified contact time.
4.1.2.    Use-specific risk mitigation measures
