Tristel plc announced that it has received three significant regulatory approvals. United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tristel received its first approval from the EPA for its foam-based disinfectant for surfaces in April 2018. The company successfully enhanced the performance claims of the product with a second approval in January 2019 and then registered the product in three States before curtailing the nationwide registration programme until a third submission could be made to bolster further the competitive positioning of the product.

This submission was made in October 2020 and the company have now received the third approval for Jet. This expands the product's efficacy claims to include mycobacteria, and all efficacy claims are within a contact time of two minutes. The company expects to complete State-by-State registration by the end of June 2022, including California where company existing registration will require amendment, which can be a lengthy process.
