Steps
Confirm the specific disinfectant product's label has been amended to include electrostatic spray application directions; not every EPA-registered disinfectant is labeled for electrostatic application, even if it is effective when applied by wiping.
Follow the label's specific electrostatic-use parameters exactly: median droplet size, minimum/maximum spray distance, required contact time, and any reapplication instructions.
Ensure the treated space is unoccupied during application (and for any label-specified re-entry period) and remove pets, consistent with label directions for electrostatic use.
Equip operators with the PPE specified for the product's active ingredient and vapor pressure (e.g., appropriate respiratory protection for higher-vapor-pressure actives such as hydrogen peroxide-based formulations) rather than a generic PPE assumption.
Verify on epa.gov (pesticide registration / electrostatic spray application guidance pages) that the product's registration currently includes electrostatic-application directions before adopting the method for a given chemical.
Known gotchas
Using electrostatic sprayers with a disinfectant whose label does not include electrostatic-application directions is a label violation, even though the underlying chemical is EPA-registered for wipe/spray use.
PPE needs differ by active ingredient vapor pressure; assuming a single PPE standard for all electrostatic disinfection tasks can under-protect operators using higher-vapor-pressure actives.
Efficacy claims for electrostatic application are tied to the specific droplet size and distance parameters tested and approved for that label; deviating from those parameters (e.g., spraying from a different distance) can invalidate the disinfection claim even with an approved product.
