Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Hygienic handrub virucidal - Test method and requirements (phase 2/step 2)
This document specifies a test method simulating practical conditions for establishing whether a product for hygienic handrub reduces the release of virus contamination 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 document is applicable 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;
and can occur in the workplace and in the home. It can 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 phase 2, step 2 test.
Chemische Desinfektionsmittel und Antiseptika - Viruzide hygienische Händedesinfektion - Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen (Phase 2/Stufe 2)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren fest, das praktische Bedingungen simuliert, um festzustellen, ob ein Produkt für die hygienische Händedesinfektion die Abgabe der auf den Händen befindlichen Virenkontamination verringert, wenn es auf den künstlich kontaminierten Händen von freiwilligen Probanden verrieben wird.
ANMERKUNG 1 Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass Versuche mit menschlichen Probanden in bestimmten europäischen Ländern/Regionen gesetzlichen Bestimmungen unterliegen.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Produkte zur hygienischen Händedesinfektion, die in Bereichen und unter Bedingungen angewendet werden, wo eine Desinfektion aus medizinischen Gründen angezeigt ist. Indikationen dieser Art liegen z. B. bei der Patientenbetreuung in:
- Krankenhäusern, kommunalen medizinischen Einrichtungen und im Dentalbereich;
- medizinischen Einrichtungen in Schulen, Kindergärten und Heimen;
vor und können auch am Arbeitsplatz und im häuslichen Bereich gegeben sein. Eingeschlossen sein können auch Einrichtungen wie Wäschereien und Küchen, die der direkten Versorgung des Patienten dienen.
EN 14885 legt im Einzelnen die Beziehungen der verschiedenen Prüfungen untereinander und zu den „Anwendungsempfehlungen“ fest.
ANMERKUNG 2 Das Verfahren entspricht einer Prüfung der Phase 2, Stufe 2.
Antiseptiques et désinfectants chimiques - Traitement hygiénique virucide des mains par frictions - Méthode d'essai et prescriptions (phase 2/étape 2)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode d’essai simulant des conditions pratiques afin d’établir si un produit pour le traitement hygiénique des mains par frictions réduit la libération d’une contamination virale sur les mains lorsqu’il est utilisé en frictions sur les mains artificiellement contaminées de sujets.
NOTE 1 L’attention du lecteur est attirée sur le fait que les essais sur des sujets humains sont soumis à des dispositions légales dans certains pays/régions d’Europe.
Le présent document s’applique aux produits destinés au traitement hygiénique des mains par frictions utilisés dans les zones et les situations où la désinfection est médicalement préconisée. De telles indications se rencontrent dans le cadre des soins apportés aux patients, par exemple :
- dans des hôpitaux, dans des centres de soins médicaux et des cabinets dentaires ;
- dans des infirmeries d’écoles, de jardins d’enfants et de maisons de retraite ;
et peuvent aussi se rencontrer sur les lieux de travail ou à domicile. Elles peuvent également concerner des secteurs tels que des blanchisseries et des cuisines qui fournissent des produits directement aux patients.
L’EN 14885 spécifie de manière détaillée la relation des différents essais entre eux et par rapport aux « recommandations d’usage ».
NOTE 2 La présente méthode correspond à un essai de type phase 2, étape 2.
Kemična razkužila in antiseptiki - Higiensko razkuževanje rok z drgnjenjem z virucidnim sredstvom - Preskusna metoda in zahteve (faza 2, stopnja 2)
Ta evropski standard določa preskusno metodo s simuliranjem praktičnih pogojev za ugotovitev, ali izdelek za higiensko drgnjenje rok zmanjša prenos kontaminacije z virusom na roke, če se uporablja za drgnjenje načrtno onesnaženih rok prostovoljcev.
OPOMBA 1: Opozoriti je treba na dejstvo, da so preskusi s človeškimi prostovoljci predmet predpisov v določenih evropskih državah.
Ta evropski standard se uporablja za izdelke za higiensko drgnjenje rok za uporabo za področja in primere,
ko obstajajo zdravstvene indikacije za dezinfekcijo. Te indikacije se pojavljajo pri negi bolnikov, na primer:
– v bolnišnicah, javnih zdravstvenih in zobozdravstvenih ustanovah;
– v ambulantah šol, vrtcev in domov za starejše;
ter lahko se pojavljajo na delovnem mestu ali doma. Vključujejo lahko tudi storitvene prostore, kot so pralnice in kuhinje, ki proizvode neposredno dostavljajo bolniku.
Standard EN 14885 podrobno določa razmerje med različnimi preskusi in priporočili za uporabo.
OPOMBA 2: Ta metoda ustreza 2. stopnji preskusa faze 2.

5 Test methods
5.1 Principle
Hands of volunteers are artificially 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 two resulting values (virus titres) represents a measure for the virucidal activity of the
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 environmental
conditions.
