17、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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at t
18、he latest by February 2016. 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 identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 14885:2006. EN 14885:2006 was
19、revised to update the information on existing standards, to include standards published since 2006 and to give more details how to use the standards for making claims. CEN/TC 216 has prepared a series of standards on chemical disinfectants and antiseptics specifying requirements and test methods. Th
20、e purpose of this European Standard is to specify the relationship of the various standards to one another and to claims and use recommendations. To allow for different requirements in different areas of application, separate tests and pass criteria have been or will be prepared for each of the foll
21、owing three areas of application: medical, veterinary, and a group comprising food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas. This European Standard only refers to test methods which are currently included in the work programme of CEN/TC 216 and which are described in Clause 2. It is likely that
22、 additional standards which relate to specific situations, e.g. chemical disinfection of textiles, will be produced at a later time. This document was revised to adapt it to the latest state of science, to correct errors and ambiguities, to harmonize the structure and wording and to improve its read
23、ability and thereby make it more understandable. The following is a list of significant changes since the last edition: some definitions were added, some were changed; the relevance of phase 1 tests was clarified; the relationship between claims for a given product and test results is described in g
24、reater detail; the use of standards outside their defined scope is now defined; the fields of application in the different areas are described in much greater detail; recommendations how to deal with the imprecision of the test methods are given; recommendations how to use the standards for proficie
25、ncy testing (quality control) are given; the impact of changes of standards are defined; the main aims, scope, safety aspects, design, performance and evaluation of results of phase 3 tests (field tests) are described. The changes mentioned above have no impact on the use of test results obtained wi
26、th reference to the former version of EN 14885.

28、EN 14885:2015EN 14885:2015 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard specifies the laboratory methods to be used for testing the activity of products, i.e. chemical disinfectants and antiseptics in order to support claims that they have specific properties appropriate to their intended application.
29、These laboratory methods may also be used for active substances and products under development. This European Standard is not intended to represent disinfection policy guidelines, i.e. guidelines for choosing and assessing the suitability of products for particular situations. The CEN standards rela
30、te to only a limited range of microbial species. These have been chosen as representative species taking into account their relative resistance and their relevance to practical use. The handling properties and the microbiological safety have also been considered in choosing the test organisms. The t
31、est methods in this European Standard are based on the current scientific state of the art. It is recognized that at the present time there is only limited knowledge regarding the relationship between the activity of products as determined by suspension as compared with surface tests, and the releva
32、nce of the results of both tests to conditions of use. Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics should always be used responsibly. This should take into account the environmental impact of inappropriate product in-use concentrations (too high or too low) and of unnecessary use. BS EN 14885:2015EN 1488
33、5:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the European Standards to which products have to conform in order to support the claims for microbicidal activity which are referred to in this European Standard. This European Standard also specifies terms and definitions which are used in Europ
34、ean Standards. It is applicable to products for which activity is claimed against the following microorganisms: vegetative bacteria (including mycobacteria and Legionella), bacterial spores, yeasts, fungal spores and viruses (including bacteriophages). It is intended to: a) enable manufacturers of p
35、roducts to select the appropriate standards to be used in order to provide data which support their claims for a specific product; b) enable users of the product to assess the information provided by the manufacturer in relation to the use for which they intend to use the product; c) assist regulato
36、ry authorities in assessing claims made by the manufacturer or by the person responsible for placing the product on the market. It is applicable to products to be used in the area of human medicine, the veterinary area and in food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas. In the area of human m
37、edicine, it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care in hospitals, in community medical facilities and dental institutions, in clinics of schools, of kind
38、ergartens and of nursing homes, and may also occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as in laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patient. In the veterinary area it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in the areas o
39、f breeding, husbandry, production, transport and disposal of animals. It is not applicable to chemical disinfectants used in the food chain following death and entry to the processing industry. In food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antis
40、eptics to be used in processing, distribution and retailing of food of animal or vegetable origin. It is also applicable to products for all public areas where disinfection is not medically indicated (homes, catering, schools, nurseries, transports, hotels, offices etc.) and products used in packagi
41、ng, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, cosmetic etc. industries. This European Standard is also applicable to active substances and products under development for which no area of application has yet been specified. This European Standard does not refer to methods for testing the toxicological and ecoto
42、xicological properties of products or active substances.
