Certifications & Safety

Accepted, independently tested, and built to be safe.

GENS Nano products are developed to meet the standards of the most demanding environments — backed by CFIA acceptance of the coating for food facilities, independent laboratory testing, and transparent safety documentation.

CFIA Acceptance

Accepted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The GENS Nano Self-Sanitizing Coating is accepted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) as a construction material for use on walls and ceilings in food processing facilities — providing a smooth, hard, impervious surface in keeping with CFIA requirements (File G246).

Product Safety Summary

Safety at a glance.

GENS Nano Self-Sanitizing Coating

Transparent, water-based TiO₂ photocatalyst coating with near-zero VOC. Accepted by the CFIA as a construction material for food facilities; non-cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5) and not a skin sensitiser (OECD 442A / ISO 10993-10).

GENS Nano Self-Cleaning Coating

Water-based TiO₂ nano-coating for building exteriors. Decomposes dirt and pollution into CO₂ and water; air-purification performance tested by SGS to ISO 22197-1:2016. No harsh chemicals or fluorinated treatments.

GENS Nano Bio Cleaner

Plant-based cleaning concentrate, independently certified to EN 1276 (bactericidal) and EN 1650 (fungicidal). Biodegradable, with no harmful residue. Safe for people, pets, and the environment.

GENS Nano Plant Tonic

Bio-stimulant and foliar tonic; 100% natural and biodegradable, for agricultural and horticultural use. Performance demonstrated in an independent 18-month UAE field trial.

Independent Testing

Verified efficacy, not marketing claims.

The GENS Nano Self-Sanitizing Coating has been independently tested to EN 14476 and by SGS against bacteria and viruses. Key results are below.

Pathogen / Organism Result
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) EN 14476 — enveloped virus 100% eliminated (EN 14476)
Human coronavirus-229E ASTM E1053 virology report 99.9% (120 min)
Escherichia coli EN 14476 panel 100% eliminated (EN 14476)
Staphylococcus aureus EN 14476 panel 100% eliminated (EN 14476)
Influenza A (H1N1) SGS laboratory test Tested (SGS) (SGS)

GENS Nano Self-Sanitizing TiO₂ coating. Virucidal activity tested to EN 14476:2019 / DIN EN 14476:2019 (SARS-CoV-2 and the bacteria shown eliminated 100%); human coronavirus-229E result from an independent ASTM E1053 virology report (99.9% / 2.9-log at 120 minutes). Influenza A (H1N1) tested by SGS. The coating is also biocompatible — non-cytotoxic (ISO 10993-5) and not a skin sensitiser (OECD 442A / ISO 10993-10). Certified test reports available on request.

Environmental Credentials

Designed to reduce chemical load, not add to it.

  • Water-based coatings with near-zero VOC
  • Plant-based and natural active compounds in the Bio Cleaner and Plant Tonic
  • Concentrated products reduce packaging, transport, and waste
  • Longer-lasting surface protection means fewer applications over time
