Textiles - Determination of antibacterial activity of textile products (ISO 20743:2013)
This International Standard specifies quantitative test methods to determine the antibacterial activity of antibacterial all textile products including nonwovens. This International Standard is applicable to all textile products, including cloth, wadding, thread and material for clothing, home furnishings and miscellaneous goods regardless of the type of antibacterial agent used (organic, inorganic, natural or man-made) or the method of application (built-in, after-treatment or grafting). Based on the intended application and on the environment in which the textile product is to be used, the user can select the most suitable of the following three methods on determination of antibacterial activity: a) absorption method (an evaluation method in which test bacterial suspension is inoculated directly onto samples); b) transfer method (an evaluation method in which test bacteria are placed on an agar plate and transferred onto samples); c) printing method (an evaluation method in which test bacteria are placed on a filter and printed onto samples). The colony plate count method and the ATP (ATP = Adenosine Tri-phosphate) luminescence method are also specified for measuring the enumeration of bacteria.

Introduction
Speciality products of antibacterial-treated textiles have been introduced in the market and are expanding
year by year in various applications. Those textiles certainly meet the consumer’s requirement to seek
prevention and protection from the negative effects caused by bacteria and to secure the quality of life.
In this situation, the test methods to determine the antibacterial activity for antibacterial textile products
were expected to be established in order to address the substantial need for an International Standard.
The test method for antibacterial activity was developed as ISO 20645 which was a qualitative test
method. There are no testing standards for the quantitative method which gives more objective
information for the antibacterial activity of the textile products.
There are several practical test methods to determine the quantitative antibacterial activity specified
in this International Standard. The test methods are composed of 2 major steps, such as inoculation of
bacteria and quantitative measurement of bacteria.
The methods for the inoculation of bacteria specified in this International Standard are the absorption
method, transfer method and printing method.
The methods of the quantitative measurement of bacteria specified in this International Standard are
colony plate count method and ATP luminescence methods.
Although there are 6 ways for the combination of inoculation methods and quantitative measurements
to execute this test, the choice of the ways depends on the user’s availability and consensus between the
concerned parties.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 20743:2013(E)
Textiles — Determination of antibacterial activity of
textile products
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies quantitative test methods to determine the antibacterial activity
of all antibacterial textile products including nonwovens.
This International Standard is applicable to all textile products, including cloth, wadding, thread and
material for clothing, bedclothes, home furnishings and miscellaneous goods, regardless of the type of
antibacterial agent used (organic, inorganic, natural or man-made) or the method of application (built-
in, after-treatment or grafting).
Based on the intended application and on the environment in which the textile product is to be used
and also on the surface properties of the textile properties, the user can select the most suitable of the
following three inoculation methods on determination of antibacterial activity:
a) absorption method (an evaluation method in which the test bacterial suspension is inoculated
directly onto specimens);
b) transfer method (an evaluation method in which test bacteria are placed on an agar plate and
transferred onto specimens);
c) printing method (an evaluation method in which test bacteria are placed on a filter and printed
onto specimens).
The colony plate count method and the ATP (ATP = Adenosine Tri-phosphate) luminescence method are
also specified for measuring the enumeration of bacteria.
