Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of virucidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in the veterinary area - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1)
This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for virucidal 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 European Standard applies to products that are used in the veterinary field 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.
NOTE 1 The method described is intended to determine the virucidal 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 (Annex E).
Chemische Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika - Quantitativer Suspensionsversuch zur Bestimmung der viruziden Wirkung chemischer Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika für den Veterinärbereich - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen (Phase 2, Stufe 1)
Die vorliegende Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren und die Mindestanforderungen an die viruzide Wirkung von chemischen Desinfektionsmitteln und Antiseptika fest, die, bei Verdünnung mit hartem Wasser oder - bei der Verwendung von gebrauchsfertigen Produkten - mit Wasser, eine homogene, physikalisch stabile Zubereitung bilden. Die Produkte können nur bei einer Konzentrationen von 80 % oder darunter geprüft werden, da durch die Zugabe der Prüforganismen und der Belastungssubstanz immer eine Verdünnung hervorgerufen wird.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Produkte, die im Veterinärbereich eingesetzt werden, d. h. bei der Aufzucht, Haltung, Produktion, beim Transport und bei der Tierkörperbeseitigung aller Tierarten mit Ausnahme der Bereiche, in denen Tiere direkt nach der Tötung als Nahrungsmittel verwendet oder der weiterverarbeitenden Industrie zugeführt werden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Das beschriebene Verfahren ist zur Bestimmung der viruziden Wirksamkeit von im Handel erhältlichen Zubereitungen oder aktiven Substanzen unter Anwendungsbedingungen vorgesehen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Das Verfahren entspricht einem Versuch der Phase 2/Stufe 1 (siehe Anhang D).
Die vorliegende Norm beschreibt Prüfverfahren für den Rinderenterovirus vom Typ 1 (Enteric Cytopathegenic Orphan [ECBO]-Virus ) als Modellvirus für alle Anwendungen, nämlich zur Desinfektion von Instrumenten und Oberflächen sowie zur Behandlung der Postkontamination von Leichenräumen, Rinnsteinen und Nutzviehställen. Die Auswahl dieses Modellvirus beruht auf:
der Durchführbarkeit der Aufstellung eines Verfahrens zum Prüfen auf Viren;
der Repräsentation einer Gruppe klinisch bedeutender Viren;
der gleichhohen Resistenz gegenüber chemischen und physikalischen Wirkstoffen wie andere klinisch bedeutende Viren im Veterinärbereich.
Antiseptiques et désinfectants chimiques - Essai quantitatif de suspension pour l'évaluation de l'activité virucide des antiseptiques et des désinfectants chimiques utilisés dans le domaine vétérinaire - Méthode d'essai et prescriptions (phase 2, étape 1)
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai et les prescriptions minimales relatives a l'activité virucide des produits antiseptiques et désinfectants chimiques qui forment une préparation homogene et physiquement stable lorsqu’ils sont dilués avec de l'eau dure ou – dans le cas de produits prets a l'emploi – avec de l'eau. Les produits ne peuvent etre soumis a essai qu'a une concentration inférieure ou égale a 80 % car il se produit toujours une certaine dilution du fait de l’addition des organismes d'essai et de la substance interférente.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aux produits utilisés dans le domaine vétérinaire c'est-a-dire dans la sélection, l'élevage, la production, le transport et l'élimination de tous les animaux, sauf au cours de la chaîne alimentaire a la suite de leur mort et de leur entrée dans l’industrie de transformation.
NOTE 1 La méthode décrite a pour objet de déterminer l'activité virucide de formulations commerciales ou de substances actives dans leurs conditions d'emploi.
NOTE 2 Cette méthode correspond a un essai de phase 2, étape 1 (voir Annexe E).

Introduction
This European Standard specifies a suspension test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant or
antiseptic has or does not have a virucidal activity in the fields described in the scope.
The laboratory test closely simulates practical conditions of application. Chosen conditions e.g. contact time,
temperature, test organisms, interfering substances, reflect parameters which are found in practical situations
including conditions which may influence the action of antiseptics or chemical disinfectants.
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.

4 Requirements
The product when diluted with hard water (5.2.2.3) or – in the case of ready-to-use products – with water
(5.2.2.2) and tested in accordance with Clause 5 under simulated low level soiling (3 g/l bovine albumin
solution) (5.2.2.4.2) or simulated high level soiling (10 g/l bovine albumin solution plus 10 g/l yeast extract)
(5.2.2.4.3) according to its practical applications and under the other obligatory test conditions: 1 selected test
organism, 10 °C, 30 min shall demonstrate at least a lg reduction in virus titre of 4. It is possible to test also
the product as delivered (highest test concentration is 80 %).
The virucidal activity shall be evaluated using the following test organism: Bovine enterovirus Type 1 (ECBO).
Where indicated, additional specific virucidal activity shall be determined applying other contact times,
temperatures and test organisms in accordance with 5.2.1 and 5.5.1.1 in order to take into account intended
specific use conditions.
NOTE For these additional conditions, the concentration defined as a result can be lower than the one obtained
under the obligatory test conditions.
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 virus in a solution of an interfering substance. The mixture is
maintained at 10 °C ± 1 °C for 30 min ± 10 s (obligatory test conditions).
At the end of the contact time, 0,5 ml of virus/disinfectant mixture is taken. The virucidal activity is immediately
suppressed by dilution in ice-cold diluent. A dilution series with a factor of ten is prepared in an ice-cold
medium held in an ice bath for 10 min. Dilutions shall be prepared in glass tubes (5.3.2.9) or microtitre plates
(5.3.2.8). Pipettes shall be changed after each dilution to avoid carry-over of virus.
The dilutions are transferred into cell culture units (wells of microtitre plates) containing suspended cells. Eight
units shall be inoculated with each dilution. After incubation, the titre of infectivity is calculated. The titration
results of quantal tests shall show dilution steps with the percentage of positive results (presence of CPE or
plaques) lying between 100 % and 0 %. The values are calculated according to Spearman and Kärber (see
Annex C).
Values of virus inactivation are calculated from differences of virus titres before and after treatment with the
product.
5.1.2 Additional and optional contact times and temperatures are specified. Additional test organisms can
be used.
5.2 Materials and reagents
5.2.1 Test virus
The virucidal activity shall be evaluated using the following strain:
1)
Bovine enterovirus Type 1 (Enteric Cytopathogenic Bovine Orphan Virus – ECBO) ATCC VR-248
1) ATCC VR-248, is a strain supplied by the American Type Culture Collections. This information is given for the
convenience of users of this European Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of the product named. A
corresponding strain supplied by other culture collections may be used if they can be shown to lead to the same results.

SIST EN 14675:2006
EN 14675:2006 (E)
NOTE 1 Bovine enterovirus Type 1, strain ECBO, is selected as the model virus for the large Genus Picornavirus. The
Genus Picornavirus includes many clinically important virus species, for example Coxsackie A and B, and enteric
cytopathogenic human orphan (ECHO). Some of these viruses are of primary importance and therefore a constant risk for
animals in the veterinary area. Moreover, they have a high resistance to chemicals, are acid-stable (except rhinoviruses)
and are unaffected by lipid solvents such as ether, and most detergents or quaternary ammonium products.
NOTE 2 It is the model virus for all applications namely for disinfection of instruments and surfaces and post-
contamination treatment of post-mortem rooms, kennels and for animal accommodation.
NOTE 3 Due to large differences of resistance against physical and chemical influences between and within different
virus groups, the testing of all viruses against any particular chemical disinfectant or antiseptic is financially impossible.
Therefore, in this European Standard, testing is restricted to only one so called ‘model virus’ that has been selected on the
basis of the present knowledge as a representative example of virus tenacity and of important clinical relevance in the
veterinary area. If a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic shows virucidal activity according to the requirements of this
European Standard, it may be considered for a phase 2 step 2 test (see Annex E).
NOTE 4 If improvements in the methodology of virus multiplication, virus infectivity or cytoxicity reduction of products
are elaborated, they may be used in parallel with the methodology described in this method to show the improvement.
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 virological purposes. They shall be free from
substances that are toxic or inhibitory to the test organism.
NOTE 1 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.
NOTE 2 For each culture medium and reagent a limitation for use should be fixed.
5.2.2.2 Water
The water shall be freshly glass distilled water and not demineralised water.
Sterilize in the autoclave [5.3.2.1a)].
NOTE 1 Sterilization is not necessary if the water is used, e.g. for preparation of culture media, and subsequently
sterilized.
NOTE 2 If distilled water of adequate quality is not available, water for injections (see bibliographic reference [2]) can
be used.
NOTE 3 See 5.2.2.3 for the procedure to prepare hard water.
5.2.2.3 Hard water for dilution of products
For the preparation of 1 l of hard water, the procedure is as follows:
prepare solution A: dissolve 19,84 g magnesium chloride (MgCl ) and 46,24 g calcium chloride (CaCl ) in
2 2
water (5.2.2.2) and dilute to 1 000 ml. Sterilize by membrane filtration [5.3.2.1c)] or in the autoclave
[5.3.2.1a)]. Autoclaving – if used – may cause a loss of liquid. In this case make up to 1 000 ml with water
(5.2.2.2) under aseptic conditions. Store the solution in the refrigerator (5.3.2.16) for no longer than one
month;
8
---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
SIST EN 14675:2006
EN 14675:2006 (E)
prepare solution B: dissolve 35,02 g sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO ) in water (5.2.2.2) and dilute to
3
1 000 ml. Sterilize by membrane filtration [5.3.2.1c)]. Store the solution in the refrigerator (5.3.2.16) for no
longer than one week;
place 600 ml to 700 ml of water (5.2.2.2) in a 1 000 ml volumetric flask (5.3.2.13) and add 6,0 ml of
solution A, then 8,0 ml of solution B. Mix and dilute to 1 000 ml with water (5.2.2.2). The pH of the hard
water shall be 7,0 ± 0,2, when measured at 20 °C ± 1°C (5.3.2.4). If necessary, adjust the pH by using a
solution of approximately 40 g/l (about 1 mol/l) of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or approximately 36,5 g/l
(about 1 mol/l) of hydrochloric acid (HCl).
The hard water shall be freshly prepared under aseptic conditions and used within 12 h.
NOTE When preparing the product test solutions ( ), the addition of the product to the hard water produces a
5.4
different final water hardness in each test tube. In any case the final hardness is lower than 300 mg/l of calcium carbonate
(CaCO ) in the test tube.
3
5.2.2.4 Interfering substance
5.2.2.4.1 General
The interfering substance shall be chosen according to the conditions of use laid down for the product.
The interfering substance shall be sterile and prepared at 10 times its final concentration in the test.
The ionic composition (e.g. pH, calcium and/or magnesium hardness) and chemical composition (e.g. mineral
substances, protein, carbohydrates, lipids and detergents) shall be defined.
NOTE The term ‘interfering substance’ is used even if it contains more than one substance.
5.2.2.4.2 Low level soiling (Bovine albumin solution)
Dissolve 3 g of bovine albumin (Cohn fraction V for Dubos Medium) in 90 ml of water (5.2.2.2) in a 100 ml
volumetric flask ( ). Make up to the mark with water ( ).
5.3.2.13 5.2.2.2
Sterilize by membrane filtration [5.3.2.1c)]. Keep in a refrigerator (5.3.2.16) and use within one month.
The final concentration of bovine albumin in the test procedure (5.5) is 3 g/l.
5.2.2.4.3 High level soiling (mixture of bovine albumin solution with yeast extract)
Dissolve 50 g yeast extract powder in 150 ml of water (5.2.2.2) in a 250 ml volumetric flask (5.3.2.13) and
allow foam to collapse. Make up to the mark with water (5.2.2.2). Transfer to a clean dry bottle and sterilize in
the autoclave [5.3.2.1a)]. Allow to cool to 20 °C ± 1 °C.
Pipette 25 ml of this solution into a 50 ml volumetric flask (5.3.2.13) and add 10 ml of water (5.2.2.2). Dissolve
5 g of the bovine albumin fraction V in the solution with shaking and allow foam to collapse. Make up to the
