1、Designation: E 1883 02 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Test Method forAssessment of an Antibacterial Handwash Product byMultiple Basin Wash Technique1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1883; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in t

2、he case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers determining the effectiveness ofan antibacterial handwash fo

3、r reducing the level of aerobicbacterial flora on the hands, following an extended period ofuse.1.2 A knowledge of microbiological techniques is requiredfor these procedures.1.3 In this test method metric units are used for all applica-tions, except for distance. In this case, inches are used andmet

4、ric units follow in parentheses.1.4 Performance of this procedure requires the knowledgeof regulations pertaining to the protection of human subjects.(Title 21 CFR, Part 50).1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibil
