Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in the veterinary area - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1)
This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectant and antiseptic products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water or - in the case of ready-to-use products - with water. Products can only be tested at a concentration of 80 % or less, as some dilution is always produced by adding the test organisms and interfering substance.
The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active substances under the conditions in which they are used. This document applies to products that are used for equipment disinfection by immersion, surface disinfection by wiping, spraying, flooding or other means and teat disinfection in the veterinary area - e.g. in the breeding, husbandry, production, veterinary care facilities, transport and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following death and entry into processing industry. This document also applies to products used for teat disinfection in these veterinary areas.
This method is not applicable to evaluate the activity of hand hygiene products. For these products reference is made to EN 14885, which specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to "use recommendations".
NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test.
Chemische Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika - Quantitativer Suspensionsversuch zur Bestimmung der bakteriziden Wirkung chemischer Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika für den Veterinärbereich - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen (Phase 2, Stufe 1)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren für und die Mindestanforderungen an die bakterizide Wirkung von chemischen Desinfektionsmitteln und antiseptischen Produkten fest, die bei Verdünnung in Wasser standar
disierter Härte oder im Falle gebrauchsfertiger Produkte in Wasser als homogenes und physikalisch stabiles Präparat vorliegen. Die Produkte können nur bei einer Konzentration von höchstens 80% geprüft werden, da durch die Zugabe der Prüforganismen und der Belastungssubstanz immer eine bestimmte Verdünnung auftritt.
Das beschriebene Verfahren soll der Bestimmung der Wirkung handelsüblicher Zubereitungen oder von Wirk
stoffen unter den Bedingungen dienen, unter denen sie in der Praxis angewendet werden. Dieses Dokument gilt für Produkte, die für die Instrumentendesinfektion durch Eintauchen und bei der Oberflächendesinfektion durch Abwischen, Besprühen, Überfluten oder auf sonstige Weise sowie bei der Zitzendesinfektion im Verterinärbereich verwendet werden - z.B. bei der Aufzucht, Haltung, Produktion, in veterinärischen Pflegeeinrichtungen, beim Transport von Tieren sowie bei der Tierkörperbeseitigung aller Tiere mit Ausnahme der Tiere, die nach der Tötung direkt als Nahrungsmittel verwendet oder der weiterverarbeitenden Industrie zugeführt werden. Dieses Dokument gilt auch für Produkte, die bei der Zitzendesinfektion in diesen Veterinärbereichen verwendet werden.
Dieses Verfahren kann nicht angewendet werden, um die Wirkung von Produkten der Handhygiene zu über
prüfen. Für diese Produkte wird auf EN14885 verwiesen, die im Einzelnen den Zusammenhang zwischen den verschiedenen Prüfungen sowie zu den „Anwendungsempfehlungen“ festlegt.
ANMERKUNG Dieses Verfahren entspricht einer Prüfung der Phase2, Stufe1.
Antiseptiques et désinfectants chimiques - Essai quantitatif de suspension pour l’évaluation de l’activité bactéricide des antiseptiques et des désinfectants chimiques utilisés dans le domaine vétérinaire - Méthode d’essai et exigences (phase 2, étape 1)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode d’essai et les exigences minimales relatives à l’activité bactéricide des produits antiseptiques et désinfectants chimiques qui forment une préparation homogène, physiquement stable, lorsqu’ils sont dilués dans de l’eau dure ou, dans le cas de produits prêts à l’emploi, dans l’eau. Les produits ne peuvent être soumis à l’essai qu’à la concentration de 80 % ou à des concentrations inférieures, car l’ajout des microorganismes d’essai et de la substance interférente s’accompagne toujours d’une dilution.
La méthode décrite vise à déterminer l’activité des formulations commerciales ou des substances actives dans les conditions dans lesquelles elles sont utilisées. Le présent document s’applique aux produits utilisés pour la désinfection des équipements par immersion, la désinfection des surfaces par essuyage, pulvérisation, inondation ou par d’autres moyens, et la désinfection des trayons dans le domaine vétérinaire, par exemple pour la reproduction, l’élevage, la production, les installations de soins vétérinaires, le transport et l’abattage de tous les animaux, hors de la chaîne alimentaire qui suit l’abattage et l’entrée dans l’industrie de transformation. Le présent document s’applique également aux produits utilisés pour la désinfection des trayons dans ces domaines vétérinaires.
Cette méthode ne s’applique pas à l’évaluation de l’activité des produits d’hygiène des mains. Pour ces produits, se référer à l’EN 14885, qui spécifie de façon détaillée les relations des différents essais entre eux et avec les « recommandations d’emploi ».
NOTE Cette méthode correspond à un essai de phase 2, étape 1.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1656:2024) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 216 “Chemical
disinfectants and antiseptics”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1656:2019 and was revised to harmonize the structure and wording
with other quantitative suspension tests of CEN/TC 216 (existing or in preparation).
Results obtained using the previous version of this document are still valid.
Introduction
This document specifies a suspension test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic
has a bactericidal activity in the fields described in the scope.
This laboratory test takes into account practical conditions of application of the product, including
contact time, temperature, test organisms and interfering substances, i.e. conditions which may influence
its action in practical situations.
The conditions are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between laboratories and
product types. Each utilization concentration of the chemical disinfectant or antiseptic found by this test
corresponds to defined experimental conditions. However, for some applications the recommendations
of use of a product may differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used.
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of
chemical disinfectant and antiseptic products that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation
when diluted with hard water or - in the case of ready-to-use products - with water. Products can only be
tested at a concentration of 80 % or less, as some dilution is always produced by adding the test
organisms and interfering substance.
The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active
substances under the conditions in which they are used. This document applies to products that are used
for equipment disinfection by immersion, surface disinfection by wiping, spraying, flooding or other
means and teat disinfection in the veterinary area – e.g. in the breeding, husbandry, production,
veterinary care facilities, transport and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following
death and entry into processing industry. This document also applies to products used for teat
disinfection in these veterinary areas.
This method is not applicable to evaluate the activity of hand hygiene products. For these products
reference is made to EN 14885, which specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one
another and to “use recommendations”.
NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test.
