UV disinfection calculator

Quick distance calc: lamp + distance + germ → log reduction

● 01 — What it is

Quick-calc tool for UV-C surface disinfection. Pick a lamp, set the distance to the surface, choose the target germ — get achieved dose, log reduction and kill rate. Quick mode lets you enter datasheet intensity directly without picking a lamp.

● 02 — Who uses it
  • Field-service planning (mobile UV-C unit positioning)
  • Lab + medical device disinfection sizing
  • Pre-sales sizing for distance-based UV-C setups
  • UV professional / engineer (quick check without a system pick)
● 03 — What Simulex outputs
  • Required exposure time for target log reduction
  • Achieved dose at current geometry
  • Kill rate by germ at exposure time
  • PDF report with engineering values
● 04 — Regulatory framework
  • DIN EN 14885
  • IEC 62471 (eye/skin safety)

LUVEX is not a regulator. Always verify with the authority responsible for your jurisdiction. Our authorities guide lists the relevant offices.
