This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants 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.
This European Standard applies to products that are used in the veterinary area on porous surfaces without mechanical action i.e. in the breeding, husbandry, production, transport, veterinary care facilities 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.

Overview
EN 16437:2014/prA1 is a CEN European Standard that specifies a quantitative surface test and minimum requirements for the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in the veterinary area on porous surfaces without mechanical action (Phase 2, Step 2). The standard applies to products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water - or, for ready-to-use products, with water. It is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations under conditions reflecting practical veterinary use.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope of application: Products used in breeding, husbandry, production, transport, veterinary care facilities and animal disposal (excluding animals entering the food-processing chain after death).
- Test type: Quantitative surface test (phase 2, step 2) for porous surfaces without mechanical action - designed to evaluate bactericidal efficacy under realistic surface conditions.
- Product characteristics: Applies to preparations stable and homogeneous after dilution with hard water (or ready-to-use products diluted with water).
- Limitations: The method is not suitable for evaluating activity against mycobacteria or bacterial spores.
- Amendment A1 highlights:
- Updated scope to explicitly include veterinary care facilities.
- Corrections to media formulations: deletion of glucose from Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA) and addition of glucose to Tryptone Soya Broth (TSB) with neutralizer.
- Note that data from the previous version remain usable.
- Relation to other standards: EN 14885 describes how this test relates to other disinfectant/antiseptic tests and to practical use recommendations.
Practical applications
- Validation of disinfectant and antiseptic products marketed for veterinary environments (farms, stables, kennels, transport vehicles, clinics).
- Performance testing by independent laboratories to support product claims (bactericidal activity on porous surfaces).
- Reference for manufacturers developing formulations that must meet regulatory or market efficacy requirements.
- Input for biosecurity managers, veterinarians and facility operators when selecting disinfectants for porous materials where mechanical action (scrubbing) is not applied.
Who uses this standard
- Chemical disinfectant and antiseptic manufacturers
- Independent testing laboratories
- National and regional regulators overseeing veterinary disinfection standards
- Veterinary facility managers, farm biosecurity advisors, and product compliance teams
Related standards
- EN 14885 - describes relationships among disinfectant test methods and provides guidance on use recommendations.
