Only the Dyson Airblade™
hand dryer meets every part
of NSF Protocol P335
Air filtration
Air used to dry hands must
be HEPA filtered.
Drying time
Hands must be dried in under
15 seconds. NSF have defined
dry as 0.1g of moisture. Damp
hands can spread up to 1,000
times more bacteria.
Touch-free operation
The hand dryer must start and
stop without user contact.
If a hand dryer doesn’t have this
logo, it’s not certified hygienic.
A recent hand hygiene study by
the Bradford University Infection
Group has been peer-reviewed and
published in the Journal of Applied
Microbiology.* The report found that
washing hands alone is not enough.
Microbial counts on skin actually
decrease when hands are dried
properly. Drying is now recognised as
a vital part of hand hygiene routines.
Out of all machines tested, the
Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer was
found to be the most hygienic –
significantly reducing bacteria
transfer compared to warm air dryers.
And unlike paper towels, Airblade™
technology doesn’t leave trash cans
overflowing with soiled paper towels,
a potential hygiene hazard.

Scientifically evaluated
and approved
“ We asked independent public health
specialist NSF to define the criteria for
a hygienic hand dryer. It’s something
no one else had ever done before.
The result is NSF Protocol P335 –
and the Dyson Airblade™ hand
dryer is the only hand dryer that
meets every part of it. So it’s the
only one certified hygienic.”
