This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
In the ongoing SARS CoV-2 pandemic effective measures are needed, and guidance based on the methodological framework of the European committee for standardization (CEN) can help to choose effective disinfectants on an immediate basis. This study demonstrates that two commercially available formulations for surface disinfection and one formulation for hand disinfection claiming "virucidal activity against enveloped viruses" are effectively inactivating SARS-CoV-2. This study emphasizes that chemical disinfectants claiming "virucidal activity against enveloped viruses" are an effective choice to target enveloped SARS-CoV-2 as a preventive measure.
