Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Hygienic handwash - Test method and requirements (phase 2/step 2)
This European Standard specifies a test method simulating practical conditions for establishing whether a product for hygienic handwash reduces the release of transient microbial flora on hands when used to wash the artificially contaminated hands of volunteers.
NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that tests on human volunteers are the subject of legal provisions in certain European countries/regions.
This European Standard applies to products for hygienic handwash for use in areas and situations where disinfection 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 may occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patient.
EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to "use recommendations".
NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test.
Chemische Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika - Hygienische Händewaschung - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen (Phase 2/Stufe 2)
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren fest, das praktische Bedingungen simuliert um festzustellen, ob ein Produkt für die hygienische Händewaschung die Abgabe der auf den Händen befindlichen transienten mikrobiellen Flora verringert, wenn es für das Waschen der künstlich kontaminierten Hände von freiwilligen Probanden verwendet wird.
ANMERKUNG 1 Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass Versuche mit menschlichen Probanden in bestimmten europäischen Ländern/Regionen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen unterliegen.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Produkte zur hygienischen Händewaschung, die in Bereichen und unter Bedingungen angewendet werden, wo eine Desinfektion 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 von Patienten dienen.
EN 14885 legt im Einzelnen die Beziehungen der verschiedenen Prüfungen untereinander und zu den „Anwendungsempfehlungen“ fest.
ANMERKUNG 2 Das Verfahren entspricht einer Prüfung der Phase 2, Stufe 2.
Antiseptiques et désinfectants chimiques - Lavage hygiénique des mains - Méthode d'essai et prescriptions (phase 2/étape 2)
La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode d’essai simulant des conditions pratiques afin d’établir si
un produit pour le lavage hygiénique des mains réduit la flore microbienne transitoire des mains lorsqu’il est
utilisé pour laver les mains artificiellement contaminées de sujets volontaires.
NOTE 1 L’attention du lecteur est attirée sur le fait que les essais sur des sujets humains sont soumis à des
dispositions légales dans certains pays/régions d’Europe.
La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux produits destinés au lavage hygiénique des mains dans les
domaines et situations où la désinfection est médicalement préconisée. De telles indications se rencontrent
dans le cadre des soins apportés aux patients, par exemple :
⎯ dans des hôpitaux, dans des centres de soins médicaux et des 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
secteurs tels que des blanchisseries et des cuisines qui fournissent des produits directement aux patients.
L’EN 14885 spécifie de manière détaillée la relation des différents essais entre eux et par rapport aux
« recommandations d’usage ».
NOTE 2 Cette méthode correspond à un essai de phase 2, étape 2.
Kemična razkužila in antiseptiki - Higiensko umivanje rok - Preskusna metoda in zahteve (faza 2, stopnja 2)
Ta evropski standard določa preskusno metodo s simuliranjem praktičnih pogojev za ugotovitev, ali izdelek za higiensko umivanje rok zmanjša prenos prehodne mikrobiološke flore na roke, ko se uporablja za umivanje načrtno onesnaženih rok prostovoljcev. OPOMBA 1 Opozoriti je treba na dejstvo, da so preskusi s človeškimi prostovoljci predmet predpisov v določenih evropskih državah. Ta evropski standard velja za izdelke za higiensko umivanje rok za področja in primere, ko obstajajo zdravstvene indikacije za dezinfekcijo. Te indikacije se pojavljajo pri negi bolnikov, na primer: v bolnišnicah, skupnih zdravstvenih in zobozdravstvenih ustanovah; v klinikah šol, vrtcev in domov za starejše; in lahko nastanejo na delovnem mestu ali doma. Vključujejo lahko tudi storitvene prostore, kot so pralnice in kuhinje, ki proizvode neposredno dostavljajo bolniku. EN 14885 podrobno določa razmerje med različnimi preskusi in priporočili za uporabo. OPOMBA 2 Ta metoda ustreza preskusu stopnje 2 faze 2.

K12
NCTC 10538; CIP 54.117; NCIMB 100831) NOTE This test organism has been specifically chosen to meet health and safety guidance and ethical committee considerations. It is a K12 strain of E. coli of normal flora origin internationally recognised as being non-pathogenic. According to the UK catalogue of the National Collections of Industrial & Marine Bacteria (see [2]), NCIMB strain 10083 is classified as a risk group 1 organism. The German Safety Ordinance on Gene Technology [3] also assigns the K12 strain to group 1. Directive 93/88/EEC [4] (Annex III to Directive 90/679/EEC [5]) explicitly states that non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli are excluded from the group 2 assignment.
5.2.2 Culture media and reagents 5.2.2.1 General All weights of chemical substances given in this European Standard refer to the anhydrous salts. Hydrated forms may be used as an alternative, but the weights required shall be adjusted to allow for consequent molecular weight differences. The reagents shall be of analytical grade and/or appropriate for microbiological purposes. They shall be free from substances that are toxic or inhibitory to the test organisms. To improve reproducibility, it is recommended that commercially available dehydrated material is used for the preparation of culture media. The manufacturer's instructions relating to the preparation of these products should be rigorously followed. For each culture medium and reagent, a time limitation for use should be fixed. 5.2.2.2 Water The water
