Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative test for the evaluation of bactericidal and yeasticidal and/or fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectants in the medical area on non-porous surfaces without mechanical action - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 2)

This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal and yeasticidal and additionally fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water - or in the case of ready-to-use products - with water.
NOTE   Dilutions are necessary as three concentrations in the active to non-active range are tested.
This document applies to products that are used in the medical area for disinfecting non-porous surfaces without mechanical action.
This document applies to areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example:
-   in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions;
-   in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes;
and can occur in the workplace and in the home. It can also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patients.
EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to use recommendations.
Using this document, it is possible to determine the activity of products like commercial formulations or active substances on bacteria and/or fungi in the conditions in which they are used and therefore it corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test.
This method excludes the evaluation of the activity of products against mycobacteria and bacterial spores.

Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren und die Mindestanforderungen an die bakterizide und levurozide und zusätzlich auch fungizide Wirkung von chemischen Desinfektionsmitteln fest, die bei Verdünnung mit Wasser standardisierter Härte als homogene, physikalisch stabile Zubereitung vorliegen bzw. bei gebrauchs¬fertigen Produkten mit Wasser verdünnt werden.
ANMERKUNG   Verdünnungen sind erforderlich, da drei Konzentrationen im aktiven bis nichtaktiven Bereich geprüft werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Produkte, die ohne mechanische Einwirkung zur Desinfektion nichtporöser Oberflächen im humanmedizinischen Bereich verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Bereiche und unter Bedingungen, wo eine Desinfektion oder Antiseptik aus medizinischen Gründen angezeigt ist. Indikationen dieser Art liegen z. B. bei der Patientenbetreuung in:
-   Krankenhäusern, kommunalen medizinischen Einrichtungen und im Dentalbereich;
-   medizinischen Einrichtungen in Schulen, Kindergärten und Heimen;
vor und können auch am Arbeitsplatz und im häuslichen Bereich gegeben sein. Eingeschlossen sein können auch Einrichtungen wie Wäschereien und Küchen, die der direkten Versorgung der Patienten dienen.
EN 14885 legt im Einzelnen die Beziehungen der verschiedenen Prüfungen untereinander und zu den Anwendungsempfehlungen fest.
Mit diesem Dokument ist es möglich, die Wirkung von Produkten wie handelsüblichen Formulierungen oder Wirkstoffen unter den Bedingungen, unter denen sie verwendet werden, auf Bakterien und/oder Pilze zu bestimmen und entspricht somit einer Prüfung der Phase 2, Schritt 2.
Dieses Verfahren schließt die Bewertung der Wirkung von Produkten gegen Mykobakterien und bakterielle Sporen aus.

Le présent document spécifie une méthode d’essai et les exigences minimales relatives à l’activité bactéricide, levuricide ainsi que fongicide des désinfectants chimiques qui forment une préparation homogène, physiquement stable, lorsqu’ils sont dilués dans l’eau dure ou - dans le cas de produits prêts à l’emploi - dans l’eau.
NOTE   Des dilutions sont nécessaires car trois concentrations dont une concentration active et une concentration non active sont soumises à essai.
Le présent document s’applique aux produits utilisés en médecine pour désinfecter les surfaces non poreuses sans action mécanique.
Le présent document s’applique aux zones et aux situations où la désinfection ou l’antisepsie est médicalement préconisée. De telles indications se rencontrent dans le cadre des soins apportés aux patients, par exemple :
-   dans des hôpitaux, centres de soins médicaux et cabinets dentaires ;
-   dans des infirmeries d’écoles, de jardins d’enfants et de maisons de retraite ;
et peuvent aussi se rencontrer sur les lieux de travail ou à domicile. Elles peuvent également concerner des services tels que des blanchisseries et des cuisines qui fournissent des produits directement aux patients.
L’EN 14885 précise de manière détaillée la relation entre les différents essais et les recommandations d’utilisation.
Il est possible, en utilisant le présent document, de déterminer l’activité de produits tels que les formulations ou substances actives commerciales sur les bactéries et/ou champignons dans leurs conditions d’utilisation, ce qui correspond à un essai de phase 2, étape 2.
Cette méthode exclut l’évaluation de l’activité de produits sur les mycobactéries et les spores de bactéries.

Introduction
This document describes a surface test method for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant in the
area and fields described in the scope (Clause 1) has or does not have bactericidal and/or fungicidal or
yeasticidal activity on non-porous surfaces without mechanical action.
The laboratory test closely simulates practical conditions of application. Chosen conditions (contact
time, temperature, and microorganisms on surfaces.) reflect parameters which are found in practical
situations including conditions which can influence the action of disinfectants.
However, for some applications the recommendations of use of a product can differ and therefore
additional test conditions need to be used.
This document is not intended to be used when product is applied via an automatic airborne
disinfection method; in such cases, see EN 17272.
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal and yeasticidal
and additionally fungicidal activity of chemical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous,
physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water – or in the case of ready-to-use products –
with water.
NOTE Dilutions are necessary as three concentrations in the active to non-active range are tested.
This document applies to products that are used in the medical area for disinfecting non-porous
surfaces without mechanical action.
This document applies to areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated.
Such indications occur in patient care, for example:
— in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions;
— in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes; and can occur in the workplace and in
the home. It can also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for
the patients.
EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to use
recommendations.
Using this document, it is possible to determine the activity of products like commercial formulations or
active substances on bacteria and/or fungi in the conditions in which they are used and therefore it
corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test.
This method excludes the evaluation of the activity of products against mycobacteria and bacterial
spores.
