Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of fungicidal or yeasticidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in the veterinary area - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1)
This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for fungicidal or yeasticidal 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. Products can only be tested at a concentration of 80 % or less, as some dilution is always produced by adding the test organisms and interfering substance.
This document applies to products that are used in the veterinary area - i.e. in the breeding, husbandry, production, veterinary care facilities, transport and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following death and entry into processing industry. This document also applies to products used for teat disinfection.
EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to "use recommendations".
NOTE 1 The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active substances under the conditions in which they are used.
NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test
Chemische Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika - Quantitativer Suspensionsversuch zur Bestimmung der fungiziden oder levuroziden Wirkung chemischer Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika für den Veterinärbereich - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen (Phase 2, Stufe 1)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren und die Mindestanforderungen an die fungizide oder levurozide Wirkung von chemischen Desinfektionsmitteln und Antiseptika fest, die in Wasser standardisierter Härte oder - im Fall gebrauchsfertiger Produkte - in Wasser eine homogene, physikalisch stabile Zubereitung bilden. Die Produkte können nur bis zu einer Konzentration von 80 % geprüft werden, da immer eine bestimmte Verdünnung durch Zugabe der Prüforganismen oder der Belastungssubstanz erfolgt.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Produkte für die Anwendung im Veterinärbereich, d. h. bei der Aufzucht, Haltung, Produktion, in veterinärmedizinischen Pflegeeinrichtungen und beim Transport von Tieren sowie bei der Tierkörperbeseitigung, außer wenn die Tiere nach der Tötung durch Zuführung in die weiterverarbeitende Industrie in die Nahrungsmittelkette gelangen. Dieses Dokument gilt auch für Produkte, die bei der Zitzendesinfektion verwendet werden.
EN 14885 legt im Einzelnen die Beziehung der verschiedenen Prüfungen untereinander sowie zu den "Anwendungsempfehlungen" fest.
ANMERKUNG 1 Das beschriebene Verfahren ist zur Bestimmung der Wirkung von handelsüblichen Zubereitungen oder Wirkstoffen unter deren Anwendungsbedingungen vorgesehen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Dieses Verfahren entspricht einer Prüfung der Phase 2, Stufe 1.
Antiseptiques et désinfectants chimiques - Essai quantitatif de suspension pour l’évaluation de l’activité fongicide ou levuricide des antiseptiques et des désinfectants chimiques utilisés dans le domaine vétérinaire - Méthode d’essai et exigences (phase 2, étape 1)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode d’essai et les exigences minimales relatives à l’activité fongicide et levuricide des désinfectants chimiques et des produits antiseptiques qui forment une préparation homogène, physiquement stable, lorsqu’ils sont dilués dans de l’eau dure ou, dans le cas de produits prêts à l’emploi, dans de l’eau. Les produits ne peuvent être soumis à l’essai qu’à la concentration de 80 % ou à des concentrations inférieures, car l’ajout des micro-organismes d’essai et de la substance interférente s’accompagne forcément d’une dilution.
Le présent document s’applique aux produits utilisés dans le domaine vétérinaire, à savoir la reproduction, l’élevage, la production, les services de soins vétérinaires, le transport et l’abattage de tous les animaux, hors de la chaîne alimentaire qui suit l’abattage et l’entrée dans l’industrie de transformation. Le présent document s’applique également aux produits utilisés pour la désinfection des trayons.
L’EN 14885 spécifie en détail la relation entre les différents essais et les « recommandations d’usage ».
NOTE 1 La méthode décrite vise à déterminer l’activité des formulations commerciales ou des substances actives dans leurs conditions d’utilisation.
NOTE 2 Cette méthode correspond à un essai de type phase 2, étape 1.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1657:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 216 “Chemical
disinfectants and antiseptics”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1657:2016.
This document was revised to harmonize the preparation of the fungal spore suspension with other
fungicidal tests of CEN/TC 216 and to incorporate amendments applicable to all European Standards.
An additional requirement has been added for the Aspergillus spore suspension and therefore results
obtained using EN 1657:2005 and not fulfilling this additional requirement will need to be confirmed
by repeating the tests using EN 1657:2015.
The test conditions for teat disinfectants have been added.

Introduction
This European Standard specifies a suspension test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant or
antiseptic has a fungicidal or yeasticidal activity in the 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 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.

1 Scope
This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for fungicidal or yeasticidal
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.
Products can only be tested at a concentration of 80 % or less, as some dilution is always produced by
adding the test organisms and interfering substance.
This document applies to products that are used in the veterinary area – 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 1 The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active
substances under the conditions in which they are used.
NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test.

5 Test method
5.1 Principle
5.1.1 A sample of the product as delivered and/or diluted with hard water (or water for ready-to-use
products) is added to a test suspension of fungi (yeast cells or mould spores) in a solution of an
interfering substance. The mixture is maintained at temperatures in accordance with Table 1. At the
end of this contact time, an aliquot is taken, and the fungicidal/yeasticidal and/or the
fungistatic/yeastistatic activity in this portion is immediately neutralized or suppressed by a validated
method.
