La norme EN 14675:2015 se concentre sur l'évaluation de l'activité virucide des désinfectants et antiseptiques chimiques spécifiquement destinés à l'usage vétérinaire. Son champ d'application est clairement défini, englobant les produits utilisés dans l'élevage, la gestion, la production, le transport et l'élimination d'animaux, excepté lors de leur entrée dans la chaîne alimentaire après la mort. L'une des principales forces de cette norme est sa méthodologie qui exige que les produits testés forment une préparation homogène et physiquement stable lors de leur dilution avec de l'eau dure ou, pour les produits prêts à l'emploi, avec de l'eau. Ce développement garantit non seulement la cohérence des résultats, mais aussi la pertinence des conditions de test dans lesquelles les produits sont réellement utilisés. De plus, en spécifiant que les tests ne peuvent s'effectuer qu'à des concentrations de 80 % ou moins, la norme prend en compte les interactions potentielles entre les organismes testés et les substances interférentes. La norme EN 14675:2015 se révèle donc particulièrement pertinente pour le secteur vétérinaire, car elle permet de déterminer de manière fiable l'activité virucide des formulations commerciales ou des substances actives dans des conditions d'utilisation concrètes. Cette approche pragmatique assure non seulement la sécurité et l'efficacité des produits, mais contribue aussi à la santé publique animale en minimisant les risques de propagation des virus.
