A UL Solutions Case Study
X-Tinguisher, a Canadian decontamination and cleaning products company, wanted to give its premium laundry detergent customers confidence that its product could support biological decontamination and advanced cleaning for first responders’ clothing and equipment. The company worked with UL Solutions to test its X-Tinguisher Premium Laundry Detergent against the NFPA 1851 standard as a baseline, using UL Solutions Marketing Claim Verification.
UL Solutions performed detailed testing on the detergent, including laundering contaminated protective items with VOCs, heavy metals, and bacteria, and then analyzed the results for verification. The product passed and became UL Verified, with UL Solutions confirming the company’s marketing claims were accurate, truthful, and credible. The achievement was described as an industry first, making X-Tinguisher Premium Laundry Detergent the only product of its kind to receive the UL Verified Mark for NFPA 1851 biological decontamination and advanced cleaning characteristics.
