20、ational standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by February 2016.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.

BS EN 16616:2015EN 16616:2015 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a carrier test for establish
24、ing whether a single-wash disinfecting product or combination of products for the treatment of contaminated textile has or does not have necessary microbicidal activity. The standard only intends to validate the disinfection part of the laundry process. This laboratory test takes into account practi
25、cal conditions of application of the product including contact time, temperature, test organisms and interfering substances, i.e. conditions which may influence its action in practice. The conditions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between microbiological laboratories a
26、nd types of detergents and disinfectants. Each effective dosage of the chemical disinfectant found by this test corresponds only to the chosen experimental conditions. Where actual conditions vary additional testing in microbiological laboratories shall be needed to determine the effective dosage. I
27、nstructions for use are the responsibility of manufactures of detergents or disinfectants. BS EN 16616:2015EN 16616:2015 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for the microbicidal activity of a defined disinfection process for the treatment of cont
28、aminated textile. This procedure is carried out by using a washing machine as defined in 5.3.2.18 and refers to the disinfection step without prewash. This procedure is not limited to certain types of textile. The suppliers instructions shall be sufficient to allow the method in the standard to be c
29、arried out fully (e.g. dosing disinfectant in whatever washing phase e.g. rinsing, disinfecting at 40 C). This European Standard applies to areas and situations where disinfection is indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example: in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in
30、dental institutions; in schools, kindergartens and nursing homes; institutions where patients are accommodated, which could suffer from transmissible diseases; other applications where hygienic treatment of textile is necessary (e.g. food processing, hotels, workwear e.g. from the pharmaceutical ind
31、ustry, laboratories, foodstuffs area or similar institutions). The method described is intended to determine the activity of a product or product combination under the conditions in which they are used. This is a phase 2, step 2 laboratory test that simulates the conditions of application of the pro
32、duct. NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test (see EN 14885). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

38、temperature, test organisms and interfering substances to disinfect the textile 3.3 treatment of contaminated textile handling the textile according the disinfection process to obtain disinfected textile 4 Requirements The test results shall fulfil the basic limits (see 5.7.3). The following phase 2
39、, step 1 test shall be passed in addition to this test: EN 13727, EN 13624 and EN 14348 under the following test conditions: temperature as recommended by the manufacturer; contact time recommended by the manufacturer; dirty conditions and reduction as recommended for instrument disinfection. For pr
40、oducts used 60 C EN 13624 and EN 14348 should be passed with Aspergillus brasiliensis and M. avium. a) Processes with temperatures 61 l; 3) Diameter of inner drum: 52 cm; 4) Depth of inner drum 31 cm); 5) Perforation: 2,5 mm to 5 mm, perforated cage surface min 600 cm2; 6) Ratio (diameter of inner d
41、rum to depth of inner drum): 1,6 + 15 %; 7) Lifting vanes (ribs): 3 having a height 10 % to 12 % of diameter of cage; base width approximately 65 mm, spacing 120; 8) Electric heating approximately KW 5,4 is recommended, thermostatically controlled; 9) Heating time to achieve 60C 30 l/min. The cleani
42、ng and disinfection procedure shall be adapted to the water hardness. Water hardness shall be logged mentioned in the laboratory protocol. The final hardness shall be equal or higher than 4 mmol/L alkaline earth ions (Mg2+and Ca2+). The temperature of the water influx should be between 12 C and 20 C
43、. The water should contain less than 100 cfu/ml of bacteria at 36 C and 22 C. It is recommended to keep the machine in an air conditioned room and control environmental conditions in temperature range of 20 C to 25 C and between 40 % to 60 % relative humidity. Before each test run the machine should
44、 be run one time for 30 min at 80C to 90C without additives. No ballast load is needed for machine preparation. It is recommended to document adequate machine parameters during the test runs to ensure a proper function of the machine and the process. This includes temperature in the wash liquor, amo
45、unt of water influx, reversing profile and if possible on/off-status of heating element. NOTE The temperature measurement with a separate calibrated data logger placed in the ballast load is preferred. 5.3.2.19 Fritted filter, porosity of 40 m to 100 m (see ISO 4793) 5.3.2.20 Roux bottles or similar
