Why this sanitiser earns its place
Suma Bac D10 is built for kitchens and food premises that need a single product to clean and sanitise surfaces and hobs in one action, rather than running a separate detergent and disinfectant step. It's supplied as a concentrate, diluted with water before use rather than sold ready-mixed.
The dilution ratio runs from 1:25 up to 1:100 depending on how soiled the surface is, mixed at 10-15ml of solution per litre of water. Contact time is 30 seconds on a clean surface, rising to 5 minutes where soiling is heavier — the product is tested to BS EN 1276 for antibacterial performance and BS EN 14476 for effectiveness against enveloped viruses, and it kills 99.9% of bacteria within that window.
It carries a corrosive classification in its concentrate form, so dilute per the safety data sheet, but the diluted solution is food-safe and cleared for use on hard surfaces and equipment throughout commercial kitchens. It's supplied in 5-litre containers, sold as a 2-pack.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
