Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Methods of airborne room disinfection by automated process - Determination of bactericidal, mycobactericidal, sporicidal, fungicidal, yeasticidal, virucidal and phagocidal activities
The test methods described are designed to determine the disinfectant activity of processes used in the 1) medical area, 2) veterinary area, 3) food, industrial, domestic and institutional area using automated processes for distributing chemicals by air diffusion with no operator manually applying the disinfectant. This document covers the disinfection of nonporous surfaces but not that of the air.
The objective of the described processes is to disinfect the surfaces of the overall area including the external surfaces of the equipment contained in such rooms. Air handling and products or processes specifically designed for the disinfection of medical devices are excluded from the scope of this document. The test methods and volumes described provide a defined challenge.
This document is applicable to processes for which activity is claimed against the following groups of microorganisms:
— vegetative bacteria,
— mycobacteria,
— bacterial spores,
— yeasts,
— fungal spores,
— viruses,
— bacteriophages.
This document does not cover processes for which the mode of action is based on immersing and/or circulation, flooding, spraying, wiping or other processes where the product is directly applied to the surfaces and not via air dispersion.

Die beschriebenen Prüfverfahren sind zur Bestimmung der desinfizierenden Wirkung von verwendeten Prozessen 1) im humanmedizinischen Bereich, 2) im Veterinärbereich, 3) in den Bereichen Lebensmittel, Industrie, Haushalt und öffentliche Einrichtungen ausgelegt, bei denen automatisierte Verfahren zur Verteilung von Chemikalien durch Diffusion in der Luft ohne manuelles Auftragen des Desinfektionsmittel durch einen Anwender genutzt werden. Dieses Dokument umfasst die Desinfektion von porenfreien Oberflächen, aber nicht der Luft.
Das Ziel der beschriebenen Verfahren besteht im Desinfizieren der Oberflächen der gesamten Fläche, einschließlich der Außenflächen der in diesen Räumen befindlichen Ausrüstung. Speziell für die Desinfektion von Medizinprodukten ausgelegte Luftbehandlungen und Produkte oder Prozesse sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments ausgeschlossen. Die beschriebenen Prüfverfahren und Volumina stellen eine festgelegte Herausforderung dar.
Dieses Dokument gilt für Prozesse, für die die Wirkung bei den folgenden Gruppen von Mikroorganismen ausgewiesen wird:
- vegetative Bakterien;
- Mykobakterien;
- bakterielle Sporen;
- Hefen;
- Schimmelpilzsporen;
- Viren;
- Bakteriophagen.
Dieses Dokument enthält keine Verfahren, bei denen die Wirkungsweise auf Eintauchen und/oder Zirkulieren, Fluten, Besprühen, Wischen oder anderen Vorgehensweisen, bei denen das Produkt direkt auf die Oberflächen aufgetragen und nicht durch die Luft verteilt wird, beruht.

This document (EN 17272:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 216 “Chemical
disinfectants and antiseptics”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text
or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2020, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by October 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document describes a Phase 2 step 2 method designed:
— to check, under standardized laboratory conditions close to real-world practice, that the proposed
airborne surface disinfection processes meet the objective for which they were devised;
— to cross-compare different processes under reproducible conditions;
— to provide an experimental design within specified limits when real-world-practice conditions
depart from the conditions given in the text below.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
United Kingdom.
Introduction
The purpose of this document is to describe a test method for assessing the disinfectant activity of
airborne surface disinfection processes under a specific experimental condition.
The proposed test method consists of 2 parts:
— Part 1 - Efficacy test: intended to ensure that minimum efficacy requirements are fulfilled for each
type of activity claimed and for the targeted application area(s) (CEN/TC 216 WG 1 and/or WG 2
and/or WG 3).
— Part 2 - Distribution test: intended to ensure efficacy of the process throughout the enclosure. It is
performed with a reference test organism at 4 sampling positions.
The processes concerned include those involving chemical disinfectants in dispersed gaseous, vapour
and/or aerosolised form.
Every automated airborne disinfection cycle/application is unique and the purpose of this document is
to provide a defined challenge for the automated airborne disinfection system to successfully meet in
order to be considered an efficacious process. This standard method should therefore be regarded as a
useful starting point and not as a validation for all intended treatments with a particular automated
airborne disinfection system.
The method is used to qualify the process, i.e. the device(s) and product(s) needed for implementation.
For such chemical processes, the combination of device and product cannot be separated.
For the defined test conditions the number of carriers and their test positions can be increased
according to specific needs of a given application or local requirements.
The manufacturer:
— specifies the limitations and precautions for use of the process;
— ensures that the specified test conditions are representative for the recommended application(s).
The aim of this document is to simulate practical conditions of airborne disinfection in a laboratory
situation; obligatory conditions are defined according to the test method defined below. Additional
conditions are also proposed.
The test report specifies and summarizes the conditions under which the tests are carried out.
Generally, the processes are implemented after a cleaning procedure and then tested, according to the
application areas, under clean or low-level soiling conditions. For specified applications and/or
according to the manufacturer recommendations, test methods with other interfering substance can
also be envisaged as additional conditions.
The tests described in this document are based on measuring the reduction (expressed as decimal
logarithm lg) in terms of numbers of surviving test organisms of different strains of bacteria,
mycobacteria, bacterial spores, fungal spores, yeasts, viruses or bacteriophages and under specified
conditions. Test organisms may be supplemented by other test organisms. The experimental design
described in this document is expected to be followed, but the conditions can be varied according to the
needs of the practical application(s).
This method can be used as a basis for biosecurity applications in laboratories.
CEN/TC 216 phase 2, step 1 suspension tests for evaluating the irreversible inactivation by the product
cannot be performed as the product is changed by the diffusion through the air (e.g. liquid state vs
vapour state).
1 Scope
The test methods described are designed to determine the disinfectant activity of processes used in the
1) medical area, 2) veterinary area, 3) food, industrial, domestic and institutional area using automated
processes for distributing chemicals by air diffusion with no operator manually applying the
disinfectant. This document covers the disinfection of nonporous surfaces but not that of the air.
The objective of the described processes is to disinfect the surfaces of the overall area including the
