26、38 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 1275:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a suspension test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic does or does not have a basic fungicidal or a basic yeasticidal activity in the fields described in the scope. The
27、acceptability of a product for a defined purpose cannot be determined from this test method. Therefore products are subjected to further testing by relevant tests specified in European Standards to evaluate their activity under conditions appropriate to their intended use. These European Standards h
28、ave been or will be developed by CEN TC 216. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Thu Apr 13 09:08:38 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 1275:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for basic fungicidal or basic yeasticidal activity of chemical disi
29、nfectant and antiseptic products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted 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 water. This European Standard applies to active substan
30、ces (antifungal biocides) and to formulations under development that are planned to be used in food, industrial, domestic and institutional, medical and veterinary areas. It applies also to the evaluation of fungicidal or yeasticidal activity of chemical antiseptics and disinfectants when appropriat
31、e standards are not available. NOTE 1 This European Standard does not evaluate the activity of a product for an intended use. NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 1 test (Annex F). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European S
32、tandard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

34、r 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 number of viable vegetative yeast cells and mou
35、ld spores of relevant test organisms under defined conditions 3.4 fungistatic activity capability of a product to inhibit the growth of fungi (moulds and/or yeasts) under defined conditions 3.5 yeasticide product that kills yeasts under defined conditions NOTE The adjective derived from “yeasticide“
36、 is “yeasticidal“.

37、e product, shall demonstrate at least a 4 decimal log (lg) reduction when tested in accordance with Clause 5. The fungicidal activity shall be evaluated using at least the following obligatory experimental test conditions: two test organisms (Candida albicans vegetative cells and Aspergillus niger s
38、pores), 20 C, 15 min. The yeasticidal activity shall be evaluated using at least the following obligatory experimental test conditions: one test organism (Candida albicans vegetative cells), 20 C, 15 min. Where indicated, fungicidal or yeasticidal activity could be determined applying additional con
39、tact times, temperatures and test organisms in accordance with 5.2.1 and 5.5.1.1. NOTE 1 For these additional conditions, the concentration defined as a result can be lower than the one obtained under the obligatory test conditions. NOTE 2 At the concentration defined as a result, it is not necessar
40、y to demonstrate a 4 lg reduction with the obligatory test conditions. 5 Test method 5.1 Principle 5.1.1 A sample of the product as delivered (highest test concentration = 80 %) and/or diluted with water is added to a test suspension of fungi (yeast cells or mould spores). The mixture is maintained
41、at (20 1) C for 15 min 10 s (obligatory test conditions). At the end of this contact time, an aliquot is taken, and the fungicidal and/or the fungistatic activity in this portion is immediately neutralized or suppressed by a validated method. The method of choice is dilution-neutralization. If a sui
42、table neutralizer cannot be found, membrane filtration is used. The numbers of surviving fungi in each sample are determined and the reduction is calculated. 5.1.2 The test is performed using the vegetative cells of Candida albicans and the spores of Aspergillus niger (fungicidal activity) or only t
43、he vegetative cells of Candida albicans (yeasticidal activity) as test organisms (obligatory test conditions). 5.1.3 Additional and optional contact times and temperatures are specified. Additional test organisms can be used. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Thu Apr 13 09:08:38 BST 2006, Uncontrolled Co
44、py, (c) BSIEN 1275:2005 (E) 7 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms The fungicidal activity shall be evaluated using the following strains as test organisms:1) Candida albicans ATCC 10231; Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404. The yeasticidal activity shall be evaluated using only Candida albicans
45、. NOTE See Annex A for strain references in some other culture collections. The required incubation temperature for these test organisms is (30 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
46、in the test report. If the additional test organisms selected do not correspond to the specified strains, their suitability for supplying the required inocula shall be verified. If these additional test organisms are not classified at a reference centre, their identification characteristics shall be
47、 stated. In addition, they shall be held by the testing laboratory or national culture collection under a reference for five years. 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
48、used as an alternative, but 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. N
49、OTE 1 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 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. Sterilize in the autoclave 5.3.2.1 a). NOTE 1 Sterilization is not necessary if the water is used e.g. for preparation
