24、 fields described in the scope. This standard is specifically prepared for water treatment products, but it may also be possible to use it for other products. Proliferation of Legionella only occurs in waters under certain conditions, and predominantly poses a risk when aerosolised. Many systems con
25、taining water do not require treatment. A decision to add chemical disinfectants to any water should be based on a risk assessment. If the product complies with the requirements of this standard, it can be considered bactericidal against Legionella pneumophila, but it should not necessarily be infer
26、red that the product is acceptable for a specific site of application without consideration of other relevant factors such as the pH, water, chemistry, temperature and degree of biological fouling at that site of application. It does not take into account the protective effect conveyed by biofilm on
27、 the organisms. The conditions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between laboratories and product types. Each concentration of the chemical disinfectant found by this test corresponds to defined experimental conditions. However, for some applications the recommendations o
28、f use of a product may differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used. 4DIN EN 13623:2010-12 EN 13623:2010 (E) 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectant products intended to be used for trea
29、tment in aqueous systems against Legionella pneumophila that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with buffered ferrous hard water or hard water. Whenever Legionella pneumophila poses a risk to human health, this method is suitable for water used in cooling towers and water
30、 for general purposes, like spas, pools, showers and other uses. The method is not suitable for electro-chemical disinfection. The European Standard applies to products used to treat water in order to kill Legionella pneumophila. NOTE 1 The method described is intended to determine the activity of c
31、ommercial formulations or active substances under the conditions in which they are used. NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test . NOTE 3 This method does not take into account the fact that Legionella pneumophila is often found in cells of amoebae and/or biofilms and that thereby a
32、products activity against the bacteria may be reduced. EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use recommendation“. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references
33、, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 14885, Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics Application of European Standards for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics 3 Terms and definitions For the pu
34、rposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 14885 and the following apply. 3.1 cooling water water used to remove heat from a process or environment 3.2 water for general purposes water used in premises other than water used as cooling water 4 Requirements The product shall demons
35、trate al least a four decimal log (lg) reduction, when diluted with buffered ferrous hard water (5.2.2.10) or hard water (5.2.2.7), and tested in accordance with Clause 5 under the obligatory test conditions (one selected test organism, at either 20 C or 30 C) within 60 min for rapid acting products
36、 or 15 h for slower acting products. The bactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the following test organism: Legionella pneumophila. Where indicated, additional specific bactericidal activity shall be determined applying other contact times and test organisms (in accordance with 5.2.1 and 5.
37、5.1.1) in order to take into account intended specific use conditions. 5DIN EN 13623:2010-12 EN 13623:2010 (E) 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 methods 5.1 Principle 5.1.1 A sam
38、ple of the product diluted with hard water (5.2.2.7 or 5.2.2.10) is added to a test suspension of bacteria in a solution of an interfering substance. The mixture is maintained at either (20 1) C or (30 1) C for 60 min 10 s or (15 1) h (obligatory test conditions). At the end of the chosen contact ti
39、me, an aliquot is taken, and the bactericidal and/or the bacteriostatic activity in this portion is immediately neutralized or suppressed by a validated method. The method of choice is dilution-neutralization. If a suitable neutralizer cannot be found membrane filtration is used. The numbers of surv
40、iving bacteria in each sample are determined and the reduction is calculated. 5.1.2 The test is performed using Legionella pneumophila as test organism (obligatory test conditions). 5.1.3 Additional and optional contact times are specified. Additional test organisms may be used. 5.2 Materials and re
41、agents 5.2.1 Test organism The bactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the following strain as test organism1): Legionella pneumophila: serogroup 1, Philadelphia (NCTC 11192; ATCC 33152). If required for specific applications, additional test organisms may be used, e.g. Legionella pneumophila
42、 serogroup 1 Benidorm (NCTC 12006, ATCC 43108). The required incubation temperature for this test organism is (36 1) C or (37 1) C (5.3.2.3). The same temperature (either 36 C or 37 C) shall be used for all incubations performed during a test and its control and validation. If additional test organi
43、sms 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 suitability for supplying the required inocula shall be verified. If thes
44、e 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 Unle
45、ss specifically stated, all weights of chemical substances given in this standard refer to the anhydrous salts. Hydrated forms may be 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
46、/or appropriate for microbiological purposes. They shall be free from substances that are toxic or inhibitory to the test organisms. 1) The NCTC and ATCC numbers are the collection numbers of strains supplied by the National Type Culture Collection (NCTC) and American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
