19、s and antiseptics”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by

20、 November 2006. Other methods to evaluate the efficacy of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics for different applications in the medical field are in preparation. A collaborative trial will be undertaken to provide a precision annex to this standard. This European Standard has been prepared under

21、a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulat

22、ions, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norw

23、ay, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 14562:2006 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a carrier test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant for use on instruments (surgical instruments, anaesthesia material, endo

24、scopes etc.) has a fungicidal or yeasticidal activity in the fields described in the scope. The laboratory test closely simulates practical conditions of application including pre-drying fungi on a carrier, contact time, temperature, test organisms and interfering substances i.e. conditions which ma

25、y influence the action of chemical disinfectants in practical situations. The obligatory conditions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between laboratories and product types. Each utilization concentration of the chemical disinfectant found by this test corresponds to defi

26、ned experimental conditions. However, for some applications the recommendations and/or instructions of use of a product may differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used. EN 14562:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for fun

27、gicidal or yeasticidal activity of chemical disinfectant products for instruments 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 medical area for d

28、isinfecting instruments by immersion even if they are not covered by the EEC/93/42 Directive on Medical Devices. This European Standard applies to areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example: in hospitals, in community medical f

29、acilities and in dental institutions; in clinics of schools, of kindergardens and of nursing homes; and may occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patients. NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2, ste

30、p 2 test (see Annex E). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

32、rmulation used as a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic 3.2 fungicide product that kills fungi (moulds and yeasts) and their spores under defined conditions NOTE The adjective derived from “fungicide“ is “fungicidal“. 3.3 fungicidal activity capability of a product to produce a reduction in the numb

33、er of viable vegetative yeast cells and mould spores of relevant test organisms under defined conditions 3.4 yeasticide product that kills yeasts under defined conditions NOTE The adjective derived from “yeasticide“ is “yeasticidal“. EN 14562:2006 (E) 6 3.5 yeasticidal activity capability of a produ

34、ct to produce a reduction in the number of viable yeast cells of relevant test organisms under defined conditions 3.6 clean conditions conditions representative of surfaces which have been cleaned satisfactorily and/or are known to contain minimal levels of organic and/or inorganic substances 3.7 di

35、rty conditions conditions representative of surfaces which are known to or may contain organic and/or inorganic substances 4 Requirements The product, when diluted with hard water or in the case of ready-to-use products with water (5.2.2.2), and tested in accordance with Clause 5 under simulated cle

36、an conditions (0,3 g/l bovine albumin solution) or simulated dirty conditions (3 g/l bovine albumin solution, plus 3 ml/l washed sheep erythrocytes) according to its practical applications and under the obligatory test conditions (two selected test organisms, 20 C, 60 min), shall demonstrate at leas

37、t adecimal log (lg) reduction in counts of 4. The fungicidal activity shall be evaluated using the following two test organisms: Candida albicans (vegetative cells) and Aspergillus niger (spores). The yeasticidal activity shall be evaluated using the following test organism: Candida albicans (vegeta

38、tive cells). Where indicated, additional specific fungicidal or yeasticidal activity shall be determined applying other contact times, temperatures, test organisms and interfering substances (5.5.1.1) in order to take into account intended specific use conditions. NOTE For these additional condition

39、s, 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 test suspension of fungi (yeast cells or mould spores) in a solution of interfering substances is spread on a glass carrier. After drying the carrier

40、is immersed into a sample of the product as delivered and/or diluted with hard water (for ready to use products: water). The carrier is maintained at 20 C 1 C for 60 min 10 s (obligatory test conditions). At the end of this contact time, the carrier is transferred into a neutralizer containing glass

41、 beads. The yeast cells or mould spores are to be severed from the surface by shaking. The numbers of surviving yeast cells or mould spores in each sample are determined and the reduction is calculated. 5.1.2 The test is performed using Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger or only Candida albicans

42、 as test organisms (obligatory test conditions). 5.1.3 Additional and optional contact times and temperatures are specified. Additional interfering substances can be used. EN 14562:2006 (E) 7 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms The fungicidal activity shall be evaluated using the followi

43、ng strains as test or organisms1): Candida albicans ATCC 10231 Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404 The yeasticidal activity shall be evaluated using only Candida albicans ATCC 10231. NOTE See Annex A for strain references in some other culture collections. The required incubation temperature for these test

44、 organisms is 30 C 1 C (5.3.2.3) If additional test organisms are used, they shall be incubated under optimum growth conditions (temperature, time, atmosphere, media) noted in the test report. If the additional test organisms selected do not correspond to the specified strains, their suitability for

45、 supplying the required inocula shall be verified. If these additional test organisms are not classified at a reference centre, their identification characteristics shall be stated. In addition. They shall be held by the testing laboratory or national culture collection under a reference for five ye

46、ars. 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 re

47、agents shall be of analytical grade and/or appropriate for microbiological purposes. They shall be free from substances that are toxic or inhibitory to the test organisms. NOTE 1 To improve reproducibility, it is recommended that commercially available dehydrated material is used for the preparation

48、 of culture media. The manufacturers 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 demineralized water.

49、Sterilize in the autoclave (5.3.1). 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 1) can be used. NOTE 3 See 5.2.2.7 for the procedure to prepare hard water. 1) The ATCC numbers are the collection numbers of strains supplied by the American Type Culture Collections (ATCC). This information is g
