17、 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 or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2013, and conflictin
18、g national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2013.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 identifying any or all such patent rights. This document s
19、upersedes EN 1500:1997. This document was revised to adapt it to the latest state of science, to correct errors and ambiguities, to harmonise the structure and wording with other tests of CEN/TC 216 existing or in preparation and to improve the readability of the standard and thereby make it more un
20、derstandable. The following technical changes have been made: Neutralization (5.5.1.2). The number of volunteers (5.5.1.4). The statistical evaluation (5.8). The annexes have been completely revised. Data obtained using the former version of EN 1500 may still be used, if it is supplemented by data o
21、n neutralization, additional results from more volunteers and the new statistical evaluation of the “mixed” (old and new) set of data. The additional results will be obtained preferably in the same laboratory and with volunteers not having participated in the previous (“old”) study. If the neutraliz
22、er used in the test using the former version is not sufficiently neutralizing, a complete new test will be run. The changed procedure in Annex A is regarded as having no (or negligible) influence on the results. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations
23、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, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Ne

BS EN 1500:2013EN 1500:2013 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method simulating practical conditions for establishing whether a product for hygienic handru
25、b reduces the release of transient microbial flora on hands when rubbed onto the artificially contaminated hands of volunteers. NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the fact that tests on human volunteers are the subject of legal provisions in certain European countries/regions. This European Standard appli
26、es to products for hygienic handrub for use in 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 kindergartens and of nursing homes;
27、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 patient. EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use recommendations”. NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a
28、 phase 2, step 2 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, the latest edition of the referenced docume

30、nfectants and antiseptics Application of European Standards for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 14885 apply. 4 Requirements When tested in accordance with Clause 5, the mean reduction of the relea
31、se of the test organism Escherichia coli K12 achieved by the hygienic handrub with the product under test shall be at least not inferior to that achieved by a specified reference hygienic handrub (60 % volume concentration of propan-2-ol). 5 Test method 5.1 Principle Hands of volunteers are artifici
32、ally contaminated with test organisms. The number of test organisms released from their fingertips into sampling fluids is assessed before and after the hygienic handrub. The ratio of the BS EN 1500:2013EN 1500:2013 (E) 5 two resulting values represents a measure for the antimicrobial activity of th
33、e product tested. The necessary precision is achieved by repeating the test on 18 to 22 volunteers. To compensate for extraneous influences it is compared with the reduction obtained by a reference handrub, which is performed with the same volunteers, on the same day and under comparable environment
34、al conditions. Prior to the test, a suitable neutralizer is validated. The neutralizer is used as a sampling fluid for recovering the test organisms after the hygienic handrub to ensure that the bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic activity in the sampling fluids is neutralized or suppressed. 5.2 Mate
35、rials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organism Escherichia coli K12 NCTC 10538; CIP 54.117; NCIMB 100831)NOTE This test organism has been specifically chosen to meet health and safety guidance and ethical committee considerations. It is a K12 strain of E. coli of normal flora origin internationally recognis
36、ed as being non-pathogenic. According to the UK catalogue of the National Collections of Industrial prepare solution B: dissolve 35,02 g sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in water (5.2.2.2) and dilute to 1000 ml. Sterilise by membrane filtration (5.3.2.7). Store the solution in the refrigerator (5.3.2.8)
37、for no longer than one week; place 600 ml to 700 ml of water (5.2.2.2) in a 1 000 ml volumetric flask (5.3.2.12) and add 6,0 ml (5.3.2.9) of solution A, then 8,0 ml of solution B. Mix and dilute to 1000 ml with water (5.2.2.2). The pH of the hard water shall be 7,0 0,2, when measured at 20 C 1 C (5.
38、3.2.4). If necessary, adjust the pH by using a solution of approximately 40 g/l (about 1 mol/l) of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or approximately 36,5 g/l (about 1 mol/l) of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The hard water shall be freshly prepared under aseptic conditions and used within 12 h. NOTE When preparing
39、 the product test solutions (5.4.2), the addition of the product to the hard water produces a different final water hardness in each test tube. In any case, the final hardness, expressed as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the test tube, is lower than 375 mg/l. 5.2.2.8 Propan-2-ol as reference handrub 5
40、2,3 % (weight concentration) corresponding to 60 % (volume concentration) at 20 C Fill 471 g propan-2-ol 1 with a purity of min. 99,5 % V/V (determined by gas chromatography; density 0,785) in a 1000 ml flask equipped with a glass stopper on the weighing platform of a scale (precision 0,1 g). Add 42
41、9 g water (5.2.2.2). This will give a volume of approximately 1 000 ml. Close the flask with the matching glass stopper and shake the contents of the flask thoroughly. NOTE This solution can be kept indefinitely at approximately room temperature if protected from light. BS EN 1500:2013EN 1500:2013 (
