19、ptics”, 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 20
20、06. 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 a mandate gi
21、ven 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 Regulations, the na
22、tional 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, Norway, Poland,
23、Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 14561:2006 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a carrier test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant for use on instruments (surgical instruments, anaesthesia material, endoscopes etc.)
24、 has a bactericidal activity in the fields described in the scope. The laboratory test closely simulates practical conditions of application including pre-drying bacteria on a carrier, contact time, temperature, test organisms and interfering substances, i.e. conditions which may influence the actio
25、n 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 defined experimental cond
26、itions. However, for some applications the recommendations of use of a product may differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used. EN 14561:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of chemical disinfecta
27、nt products 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 disinfecting instruments by immersion even if they are not covered by t
28、he 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 facilities and in dental institutions; in clinics of schools, of kinder
29、gardens 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, step 2 test (see Annex E). 2 Normative references The following reference
30、d documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. 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 o

32、actericide product that kills vegetative bacteria under defined conditions NOTE The adjective derived from “bactericide“ is “bactericidal“. 3.3 bactericidal activity capability of a product to produce a reduction in the number of viable bacterial cells of relevant test organisms under defined condit
33、ions 3.4 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 EN 14561:2006 (E) 6 3.5 dirty conditions conditions representative of surfaces which are known to or may contain or
34、ganic and/or inorganic substances 4 Requirements 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
35、 solution, plus 3 ml/l washed sheep erythrocytes) according to its practical applications and under the obligatory test conditions (three selected test organisms, 20 C, 60 min), shall demonstrate at least a decimal log (lg) reduction in counts of 5. The bactericidal activity shall be evaluated using
36、 the following three test organisms: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus hirae. Where indicated, additional specific bactericidal activity shall be determined applying other contact times, temperatures, test organisms and interfering substances (5.5.1.1) in order to take i
37、nto account intended specific use conditions. NOTE For these additional conditions, 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 bacteria in a solution of interfering substances i
38、s spread on a glass carrier. After drying the carrier 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 carr
39、ier is transferred into a neutralizer containing glass beads. The bacteria are to be severed from the surface by shaking. The numbers of surviving bacteria in each sample are determined and the reduction is calculated. 5.1.2 The test is performed using Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus a
40、nd Enterococcus hirae as test-organisms (obligatory test conditions). 5.1.3 Additional and optional contact times and temperatures are specified. Additional interfering substances can be used. 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms The bactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the foll
41、owing strains as test organisms1): Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 Enterococcus hirae ATCC 10541 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 of user
42、s of this European Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of the product named. EN 14561:2006 (E) 7 NOTE See Annex A for strain references in some other culture collections. The required incubation temperature for these test organisms is 36 1 C or 37 C 1 (5.3.2.3). The same temperatu
43、re (either 36 C or 37 ) shall be used for all incubations performed during 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 org
44、anisms 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 stated. In addition, they shall be held by th
45、e 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 used as an alternative, but the weights requir
46、ed 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 reproducibility, it is recomm
47、ended 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 Wat
48、er The water shall be freshly glass distilled water and not demineralized water. 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 avai
49、lable, water for injections (see bibliographic reference 1) can be used.
