18、3 Foreword This document (EN 14348:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 216 “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 or by

19、endorsement, at the latest by July 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2005. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Medica

20、l Devices Directive 93/42. For relationship with EU Directive, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. A collaborative trial has been undertaken and will be evaluated to provide a precision annex to this document. Other methods to evaluate the efficacy of chemical disin

21、fectants and antiseptics for different applications in the medical area are in preparation. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denm

22、ark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 14348:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This document describes a suspension test

23、 for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant has or does not have a mycobactericidal activity in the area defined in the scope. This laboratory test takes into account practical conditions of application of the product ,including contact time, temperature, test organisms and interfering substan

24、ces, i.e. conditions which may influence its action in practical situations. The conditions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between laboratories and product types. Each concentration of the chemical disinfectant found by this test corresponds to the chosen experimental

25、conditions. However, for some applications the instructions of use of a product may differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used. EN 14348:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for mycobactericidal (or tuberculocidal) activity of che

26、mical disinfectant products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water - or in the case of ready-to-use products - with water. Products can only be tested at a concentration of 80 % or less as some dilution is always produced by adding the test organisms and

27、interfering substance. This document applies to products that are used in the medical area including those that are covered by the EEC/93/42 Directive on Medical Devices. This document applies to areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care,

28、for example: in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions; in clinics of schools, of kindergartens 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 patient

29、s. 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. NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 1 test (see Annex E). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indi

30、spensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12353, Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics Preservation of microbial strains used for

31、the determination of bactericidal and fungicidal activity. EN 14820, Single-use containers for human venous blood specimen collection. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 product chemical agent or formulation used as a chemical di

32、sinfectant or antiseptic 3.2 mycobactericide product which kills mycobacteria under defined conditions NOTE The adjective derived from “mycobactericide” is “mycobactericidal”. 3.3 mycobactericidal activity capability of a product to produce a reduction in the number of viable mycobacterial cells of

33、relevant test organisms under defined conditions EN 14348:2005 (E) 6 3.4 mycobacteriostatic activity capability of a product to inhibit the growth of mycobacteria under defined conditions 3.5 tuberculocide product which kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis under defined conditions NOTE The adjective der

34、ived from “tuberculocide” is “tuberculocidal”. 3.6 tuberculocidal activity capability of a product to kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis, demonstrated by the capability to produce a reduction in the number of viable cells of Mycobacterium terrae under defined conditions 3.7 clean conditions conditions

35、representative of surfaces which have received a satisfactory cleaning programme and/or are known to contain minimal levels of organic and/or inorganic substances 3.8 dirty conditions conditions representative of surfaces which are known to or may contain organic and/or inorganic substances 4 Requir

36、ements The product, when diluted with hard water or - in the case of ready-to-use products - with water and tested in accordance with clause 5 under simulated clean conditions (0,3 g/l bovine albumin solution) or simulated dirty conditions (3 g/l bovine albumin solution, plus 3 ml/l washed sheep ery

37、throcytes) according to its practical applications and under the obligatory test conditions (one or two selected test organisms, 20 C, 60 min), shall demonstrate at least a decimal log (lg) reduction in counts of 4. It is possible to test also the product as delivered (highest test concentration is

38、80 %). The mycobactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the following two test organisms: Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium terrae. The tuberculocidal activity shall be evaluated using the following test organism: Mycobacterium terrae. Where indicated, additional specific mycobactericidal

39、or tuberculocidal activity shall be determined applying other contact times, temperatures and interfering substances (5.5.1.1) in order to take into account intended specific use conditions. NOTE For these additional conditions, the concentration defined as a result can be lower than the one obtaine

40、d under the obligatory test conditions. EN 14348:2005 (E) 7 5 Test methods 5.1 Principle 5.1.1 A test suspension of mycobacteria in a solution of an interfering substance is added to a sample of the product as delivered and/or diluted with hard water (for ready to use products: water). The mixture i

41、s maintained at 20 C 1 C for 60 min 10 s (obligatory test conditions). At the end of this contact time, an aliquot is taken; the mycobactericidal and/or the mycobacteriostatic activity in this portion is immediately neutralized or suppressed by a validated method. The numbers of surviving mycobacter

42、ia in each sample are determined and the reduction is calculated. 5.1.2 The test is performed using Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium terrae or only Mycobacterium terrae as test organisms (obligatory test conditions). 5.1.3 Additional and optional contact times and temperatures are specified. Ad

43、ditional interfering substances can be used. 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms The mycobactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the following two test-organisms 1) : Mycobacterium avium ATCC 15769 Mycobacterium terrae ATCC 15755 The tuberculocidal activity shall be evaluated usin

44、g only Mycobacterium terrae. NOTE See annex A for corresponding strain reference in some other culture collections. 5.2.2 Culture media and reagents 5.2.2.1 General All weights of chemical substances given in this standard refer to the anhydrous salts. Hydrated forms may be used as an alternative, b

45、ut the weights required shall be adjusted to allow for consequent molecular weight differences. The reagents 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 reproduc

46、ibility, it is recommended that commercially available dehydrated material is used for the preparation 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

47、be fixed. 5.2.2.2 Water The water shall be freshly glass distilled water and not demineralized water. Sterilize in the autoclave (5.3.1). 1)The ATCC numbers are the collection numbers of strains supplied by the American Type Culture Collections (ATCC). This information is given for the convenience o
