Dyson scientists asked independent public health specialists NSF International to define the criteria for a hygienic hand dryer. (Unsurprisingly, it’s something other hand dryer manufacturers had never done before)
The Dyson AirbladeTM hand dryer meets every criteria NSF International set, making it the only truly hygienic hand dryer as certified by NSF.

Protocol P335.
If a hand dryer doesn’t have this logo on it, it’s not certified hygienic by NSF.
NSF International, leading independent public health specialists, agree that the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is the only hygienic hand dryer and the first to meet NSF Protocol P335.
The protocol sets out the standards a hand dryer must meet to be considered hygienic.
Protocol List:
- Air filtration – Dust and bacteria must be removed from the air used to dry hands.
- Unheated air – The air used shouldn’t be heated up. Warming moist bacteria can increase their reproduction rate. Warm or hot air can remove beneficial oils from the skin.
- Drying time – Hands must be dried in 15 seconds or under. Damp hands pick up and transfer up to 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands.
- Touch-free operation – The hand dryer must start and stop automatically.
Only the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer meets all these criteria for a hygienic hand dryer.
