Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of mycobactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in the veterinary area - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1)
This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for mycobactericidal 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.
This European Standard applies to products that are used in the veterinary area i.e. in the breeding,
husbandry, production, transport and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following death
and entry to the processing industry.
NOTE 1 The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active substances
under the conditions in which they are used.
NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test (Annex F).
Chemische Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika - Quantitativer Suspensionsversuch zur Bestimmung der mykobakteriziden Wirkung chemischer Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika für den Veterinärbereich - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen (Phase 2, Stufe 1)
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren (Phase 2, Stufe 1) und die Mindestanforderungen an die mykobakterizide Wirkung von chemischen Desinfektionsmitteln und Antiseptika fest, die in hartem Wasser eine homogene, physikalisch stabile Zubereitung bilden. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Produkte für den Veterinärbereich, d. h. bei deren Verwendung bei der Aufzucht, Haltung, Produktion und beim Transport von Tieren sowie bei der Tierkörperbeseitigung, außer wenn die Tiere nach der Tötung durch Zuführung in die weiterverarbeitende Industrie in die Nahrungsmittelkette eintreten. Bei Anwendung dieser Europäischen Norm ist die Bestimmung der mykobakteriziden Wirkung eines unverdünnten Produktes nicht möglich, da immer eine bestimmte Verdünnung durch Zugabe der Impfkultur und der Belastungssubstanz erfolgt. Produkte können nur bis zu einer Konzentration von 80 % geprüft werden.
