Textile fabrics - Determination of antibacterial activity - Agar diffusion plate test (ISO 20645:2004)

This standard specifies a method for investigating the effect of textile auxiliaries on rottability of cellulose containing textiles.

Textile Flächengebilde - Prüfung der antibakteriellen Wirkung - Agarplattendiffusionstest (ISO 20645:2004)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Wirkung antibakterieller Behandlungen von
Geweben, Gewirken und anderen flachen Textilien fest.
Dieses Verfahren gilt für die Prüfung hygienischer Ausrüstungen hydrophiler luftdurchlässiger Materialien oder
antibakteriell ausgerüsteter Fasern. Zur Prüfung nach diesem Verfahren ist eine Mindestdiffusion der
antimikrobiellen Mittel in den Prüfagar erforderlich.
ANMERKUNG Die Prüfung anderer Materialien nach diesem Verfahren ist möglich, sofern es dementsprechend
angepasst wird.
Das Prüfverfahren ist nicht geeignet für die Prüfung von Textilien, deren antibakterielle Behandlungen mit dem
Agar eine Reaktion eingehen.

Etoffes - Contrôle de l'activité antibactérienne - Essai de diffusion sur plaques de géloses (ISO 20645:2004)

La présente norme fixe une méthode de détermination de l'activité antibactérienne des traitements antimicrobiens appliqués aux textiles tissés, tricotés et autres textiles plats.
La présente méthode s'applique aux essais effectués sur les apprets hygiéniques des matériaux hydrophiles perméables a l'air. Le présent mode opératoire nécessite une diffusion minimale de l'appret antimicrobien dans la gélose.
NOTE   La présente méthode peut convenir a d'autres matériaux a condition d'etre adaptée en conséquence.
La présente méthode n'est pas appropriée aux essais sur textiles traités avec des apprets antimicrobiens qui réagissent avec la gélose.

EN ISO 20645:2004 (E) 4 Introduction The application of an antimicrobial finish to a textile can prevent bacterial growth and might reduce the effects of microbial pathway products, biodeterioration and microbiogenous odours. This method determines the activity of such treatments qualitatively when different products are compared. Semi-quantitative information on the effect of treatments can be obtained when different concentrations of the same product are compared. SIST EN ISO 20645:2005



EN ISO 20645:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies a method for the determination of the effect of antibacterial treatments applied to woven, knitted and other flat textiles.
This method is applicable to testing hygienic finishes of hydrophilic, air-permeable materials or antibacterial products incorporated in the fibre. A minimum diffusion of the antibacterial treatment into the test agar is necessary with this procedure.
NOTE Other materials may be tested using this method, provided that it is adapted accordingly. This method is not suitable for testing textiles treated with antibacterial treatments that react with the agar. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. antibacterial effect inhibition of bacterial growth in favourable growing conditions 3 Safety precautions This method requires the use of bacteria and conditions that promote bacterial growth. Since the bacteria might be pathogenic the tests should be carried out by trained personnel. Appropriate safety precautions should be observed. 4 Principle Specimens of the material to be tested are placed on two-layer agar plates. The lower layer consists of a culture medium free from bacteria and the upper layer is inoculated with the selected bacteria. The textiles are tested on both sides. The level of antibacterial activity is assessed by examining the extent of bacterial growth in the contact zone between the agar and the specimen and, if present, the extent of the inhibition zone around the specimen. 5 Apparatus, reagents and culture media
