21、2 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 14204:2012) 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
22、or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for id
23、entifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14204:2004. Data obtained using the former version of EN 14204 may still be used. This document was revised to correct obvious errors and ambiguities, to harmonize the structure and wording with other quantitative suspension tests
24、of CEN/TC 216 (existing or in preparation), and to improve the readability of the standard and thereby make it more understandable. The following technical changes have been made: Membrane filtration (5.5.3) method and associated media and equipment have been added. According to the CEN/CENELEC Inte
25、rnal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, I

This labor
28、atory test takes into account practical conditions of application of the product including contact time, temperature, test organisms and interfering substances, i.e. conditions which may influence its action in practical situations. The conditions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow
29、reference between laboratories and product types. Each utilization concentration of the chemical disinfectant or antiseptic, found by this test corresponds to the chosen experimental conditions. However, for some applications the instructions of use of a product may differ and therefore additional t
30、est conditions need to be used.

31、 minimum requirements for mycobactericidal activity of chemical disinfectant and antiseptic 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,
32、 as some dilution is always produced by adding the test organisms and interfering substance. This European Standard applies to products that are used in the veterinary area i.e. in the breeding, husbandry, production, transport and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following deat
33、h and entry to the processing industry. EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use recommendations”. NOTE 1 The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active substances under the conditions in which they
34、 are used. NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references
35、, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

37、ordance with Table 1 and Clause 5 under simulated low level (3,0 g/l bovine albumin) or high level soiling (10 g/l yeast extract and 10 g/l bovine albumin).

40、ional any relevant substance NOTE For the additional conditions, the concentration defined as a result can be lower than the one obtained under the obligatory test conditions.a The obligatory contact time for disinfectants stated in Table 1 was chosen to enable comparison of standard conditions. The
41、 referenced test conditions are by no means intended as requirements for the use of a product. The recommended contact time for the use of the product is within the responsibility of the manufacturer. Any additional specific mycobactericidal activity shall be determined in accordance with 5.2.1 and
42、5.5.1.1 in order to take into account intended specific use conditions. 5 Test method 5.1 Principle A sample of the product as delivered and/or diluted in hard water (or water for ready to use products) is added to a test suspension of mycobacteria in a solution of an interfering substance. The mixt
43、ure is maintained at (10 1) C for 60 min 10 s. At the end of this contact time, an aliquot is taken and the mycobactericidal action in this portion is immediately neutralized or suppressed by a validated method. The number of surviving mycobacteria in each sample is determined and the reduction in v
44、iable counts calculated.

45、(Clause 4, Table 1). Additional and optional contact times and temperatures are specified (Clause 4, Table 1). Additional interfering substances and test organisms may be used. 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms 5.2.1.1 The mycobactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the followin

The required incubation temperature for this test organism is (36 1) C or (37 1) C. The same temperature (either 36 C or 37 C) shall be used for all incubations performed d
47、uring a test and its control and validation. 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 sui
48、tability 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 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 Europ
