Introduction
This document specifies a surface test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic has
bactericidal activity in the area and fields described in the scope.
This laboratory test takes into account practical conditions of application of the product including contact
time, temperature, test organisms and interfering substances, i.e. conditions which may influence its
action in practical situations.
The conditions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between laboratories and
product types. Each utilization concentration of the chemical disinfectant or antiseptic, found by this test
corresponds to the defined experimental conditions. However, for some applications, the
recommendations of use of a product may differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used.
prEN 14349:2023 (E)
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of
chemical disinfectant and antiseptic products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation
when diluted with hard water, or – in the case of ready-to-use-products – with water.
The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active
substances under the conditions in which they are used. This document applies to products that are used
in the veterinary area for disinfecting non-porous surfaces without mechanical action i.e. in the breeding,
husbandry, production, transport and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following
death and entry to the processing industry.
EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use
recommendations”.
NOTE This method corresponds to a Phase 2 Step 2 test.
This method excludes the evaluation of the activity of products against yeasts, fungal spores,
mycobacteria and bacterial spores.

practical conditions of the product.
The recommended contact time for the use of the product is within the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
NOTE For the additional conditions, the concentration defined as a result can be lower
than the one obtained under the minimum test conditions.
prEN 14349:2023 (E)
Any additional specific bactericidal activity shall be determined in accordance with 5.2.1 and 5.5.1.1 in
order to take into account intended specific use conditions.
5 Test method
5.1 Principle
A test suspension of bacteria in a solution of interfering substances (5.2.2.7) is inoculated onto a test
stainless steel surface and dried. A sample of the product under test is applied in a manner that
completely covers the dried test organisms. The surface is maintained at the test temperature and contact
time exemplified in Clause 4 and (5.5.2). At the end of the contact time the surface is transferred to a
previously validated neutralization medium to suppress any product activity immediately. The number
of surviving test organisms which can be recovered from the surface is determined quantitatively.
The number of bacteria on a test surface treated with hard water (or water in the case of ready to use
products) in place of the product under test is also determined and the reduction in viable counts
attributed to the product is calculated as the difference between the two test surfaces’ results.
5.2 Materials and reagents
5.2.1 Test organisms
The bactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the following strains:
— Enterococcus hirae
— Pseudomonas aeruginosa
— Staphylococcus aureus
NOTE See Annex A for strain references in some culture collections.
The required incubation temperature for these test organisms is 36 °C ± 1 °C or 37 °C ± 1 °C (5.3.2.3). The
same temperature (either 36 °C or 37 °C) shall be used for all incubations performed during a test and its
control and validation.
If additional test organisms are used, they shall be incubated under optimum growth conditions
(temperature, time, atmosphere, media) noted in the test report. If the additional test organisms selected
do not correspond to the specified strains, their suitability for supplying the required inocula shall be
verified. If these additional test organisms are not classified at a reference centre, their identification
characteristics shall be stated. In addition, they shall be held by the testing laboratory or national culture
collection under a reference for five years.
