Introduction
Leave-on hand cleaner is an important sanitary product, and its quality and technical standards directly affect public health and personal health. Based on the national standard GB/T 43718-2024 "Leave-on hand cleaner", this article will conduct an in-depth interpretation from multiple aspects such as technical requirements, inspection rules, labeling and packaging, and provide implementation suggestions based on actual application scenarios.
Background of standard formulation
With the improvement of public health awareness, especially under the influence of the global epidemic, the demand for leave-on hand cleaner has surged. However, the quality of products on the market is uneven, and some products have safety hazards. To this end, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Administration jointly issued the GB/T 43718-2024 standard to regulate the production and sale of leave-on hand cleaners and ensure that product quality meets national safety requirements.

Technical requirements for ordinary products
Ordinary hand sanitizers are mainly based on cleaning functions, and their technical requirements include sensory indicators, physical and chemical indicators, and microbial indicators. For example, the stability test requires that the product be kept at high temperature (40±2)℃ and low temperature (-5±2)℃ for 24 hours, and there will be no obvious sensory changes after returning to room temperature. The pH value range must meet the requirements of the "Technical Specifications for Safety of Cosmetics".
Technical requirements for antibacterial and antibacterial products
Antibacterial and antibacterial hand sanitizers are more powerful in function, with antibacterial and bactericidal functions respectively. Among them, the bactericidal rate of antibacterial products is required to be ≥90%, while the bactericidal rate of antibacterial products is required to be ≥50%. In addition, both products must comply with the provisions of GB15979 on microbial indicators and bactericidal and antibacterial stability.
Implementation Suggestions
In order to ensure that the production and sales of hand sanitizers comply with national standards, companies should:
- Strictly purchase raw materials and control the production process in accordance with standard requirements;
- Establish a complete quality inspection system to ensure that all product indicators meet the requirements;
- Strengthen employee training to improve understanding and implementation of standards;
- Pay close attention to market feedback and adjust production and sales strategies in a timely manner.
Summary
The release and implementation of the national standard GB/T 43718—2024 "Hand Sanitizer" provides scientific technical guidance and specifications for the industry. Companies should actively implement standard requirements to ensure product quality and safety, and at the same time enhance product competitiveness through technological innovation to jointly promote the healthy development of the industry.
