Abstract: In recent years, consumers have increased their demand for the health and safety performance of household appliances, especially in aspects such as sterilization, mite removal, and purification. However, existing research and standards mostly focus on enveloped viruses such as influenza and coronavirus, and do not cover non-enveloped viruses. As a non-enveloped virus, human papilloma virus (HPV) has a stable structure and strong tolerance. It may spread in the home environment through the surfaces of clothing, towels, sanitary equipment and other objects, bringing new challenges to residents ‘health. The risk of home transmission of HPV was systematically sorted out, the research progress on the virus-removing performance of household appliances was reviewed, the HPV pseudovirus model and its application in the evaluation of virus-removing performance of household appliances were mainly introduced, and the deficiencies of the existing standard system and the development trend of the industry were analyzed. It aims to provide reference for the research on health functions and improvement of the standard system in the home appliance industry, and promote the technical evaluation and industry attention of the HPV-removal function of home appliances.
