Abstract:

The samples testing of bactericidal high-pressure UV lamps presented on the Russian Market showed their insufficient quality. These lamps were designed and manufactured based on the technical assignment of specific manufacturers or are copies of UV lamps by well-known brands but manufactured using own technology. Moreover, these devices do not comply with special aspects of UV irradiating equipment for water sterilisation such lamps may be used with by consumers.
