21、13704:2002 (E) Foreword This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 21 6 “Chemical disinfectants 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

22、 or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2002. In this standard the annexes A and B are normative. The annexes C, D, E, F, G and H are informative. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national st

23、andards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 3

24、 EN 13704:2002 (E) Introduction This European Standard describes a suspension test method for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant has or does not have a sporicidal activity in the fields described in clause 1. The laboratory test closely simulates practical conditions of application. Chosen

25、 conditions (contact time, temperature, in suspension, etc.) reflect parameters which are found in practical situations including conditions which can influence the action of disinfectants. Each utilization concentration found from this test corresponds to defined experimental conditions. The condit

26、ions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between laboratories and product types. However for some applications the recommendations of use of a product can differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used. 4 EN 13704:2002 (E) 1 Scope This European Standard spe

27、cifies a test method (phase 2/step 1) (see annex H) and the minimum requirements for sporicidal activity of chemical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation in hard water and that are used in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas, excluding areas and

28、 situations where disinfection is medically indicated and excluding products used on living tissues except those for hand hygiene in the above considered areas. This European Standard applies at least to the following : a) processing, distribution and retailing of 1) food of animal origin : - milk a

29、nd milk products ; - meat and meat products ; - fish, seafood, and related products ; - eggs and egg products ; - animal feeds ; - etc. ; 2) food of vegetable origin - beverages ; - fruits, vegetables and derivatives (including sugar, distillery, etc.) ; - flour, milling and baking ; - animal feeds

30、; - etc. ; b) institutional and domestic areas : - catering establishments ; - public areas ; - public transports ; - nurseries ; - sports rooms ; - waste containers (bins, etc.) ; - hotels ; 5 EN 13704:2002 (E) - dwellings ; - clinically non sensitive areas of hospitals ; - offices : - etc. ; c) ot

31、her industrial areas - packaging material ; - biotechnology (yeast, proteins, enzymes, etc.) ; - pharmaceutical ; - cosmetics and toiletries ; - textiles ; - space industry, computer industry ; - etc. Using this European Standard, it is not possible to determine the sporicidal activity of undiluted

32、product as some dilution is always produced by adding the inoculum and interfering substance. Products can only be tested at a concentration of 80 % or less. NOTE spores in the conditions in which they are used. The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or

33、 active substances on 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent

34、amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 1040, Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Ba

36、r antiseptic EN 10401 3.2 sporicide (in this standard) product which kills spores of the genus Bacillus NOTE The adjective derived from a sporicide ) is a sporicidal . 6 EN 13704:2002 (E) 3.3 sporicidal activity (in this standard) capability of the product to produce at least a reduction of IO3 in t

37、he number of bacterial spores belonging to reference strain of Bacillus subtilis under conditions defined by this European Standard 3.4 clean conditions conditions representative of surfaces which have received a satisfactory cleaning programme and/or are known to contain minimal levels of organic a

38、nd/or inorganic materials 4 Requirements The product, when diluted in hard water and tested in accordance with clause 5 under simulated clean conditions (0,3 g/l bovine albumin see 3.4) according to its practical applications and under the required test conditions (20 OC, 60 min, 1 selected referenc

39、e strain), shall demonstrate at least a IO3 reduction in viable counts. The sporicidal activity shall be evaluated using the test organism Bacillus subtilis. The determined sporicidal concentration of the test product is suggested as being suitable for practical situations of use. Where appropriate,

40、 additional specific sporicidal activity shall be determined under other conditions of time, temperature and additional strains (see 5.2.1 and 5.5.1) in accordance with 5.5.1 in order to take into account intended specific use conditions. NOTE initial test conditions of 20 “C, 60 min, 1 selected ref

41、erence strain. For these additional conditions, the concentration defined as a result can be lower than the one obtained under the 5 Test method 5.1 Principle 5.1.1 A test suspension of bacterial spores in a solution of interfering substance, simulating clean conditions, is added to a prepared sampl

42、e of the product under test diluted in hard water. The mixture is maintained at 20 “C f 1 “C for 60 min f 10 s (required test conditions). At this contact time, an aliquot is taken ; the sporicidal action in this portion is immediately neutralized or suppressed by a validated method. The method of c

43、hoice is dilution-neutralization. If a suitable neutralizer cannot be found, membrane filtration is used. The number of surviving bacterial spores in each sample are determined and the reduction in viable counts is calculated. 5.1.2 The test is performed using spores of Bacillus subtilis. Additional

44、 and optional exposure times, temperatures and strains are specified. 7 EN 13704:2002 (E) 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms The sporicidal activity shall be evaluated by using spores of the following strain : - Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 I). If required for specific applications, addi

45、tional strains may be chosen from, for example : - Bacillus cereus ATCC 12826 ; - Clostridium sporogenes CIP 7939 I). NOTE 1 See annex G for corresponding strain numbers in some other culture collections. NOTE 2 See annex C for particular culture and handling conditions for Clostridium sporogenes. I

46、f additional strains are used, they shall be incubated under optimum growth conditions (temperature, time, atmosphere) and noted in the test report. If the additional strains selected do not correspond to the specified strains, their suitability for supplying inocula of sufficient concentration shal

47、l be verified. If the additional strains tested 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 under a reference for 5 years. 5.2.2 Culture media and reagents 5.2.2.1 General

48、 The reagents shall be of analytical grade and/or appropriate for microbiological purposes. NOTE To improve reproducibility, it is recommended that commercially available dehydrated material is used for the preparation of culture media. The manufacturers instructions relating to the preparation of t

49、hese products should be rigorously fol lowed. 5.2.2.2 Water The water shall be free from substances that are toxic or inhibiting to the bacterial spores or to the bacteria. It shall be freshly glass distilled water and not demineralized water. Sterilize in the autoclave (see 5.3.1). NOTE 1 If the water is sterilized during the sterilization of the reagents, this is not necessary. NOTE 2 be used.
