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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2008. This document supersedes EN 14349:2004. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. SIST EN 14349:2008



EN 14349:2007 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a surface test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic in the veterinary area, on non-porous surfaces without mechanical action, has or does not have bactericidal activity under the laboratory conditions defined by this European Standard, which influence the action of disinfectants in practical use. The type and level of interfering substance can be selected as well as contact times and temperatures in addition to the levels specified in order to support recommendations for use under particular conditions. The method involves neutralization of the bactericidal activity at the moment of sampling by dilution into a previously validated neutralizer. The conditions that shall be tested are intended to cover general purposes and to allow reference between laboratories and product types. For some applications, however, the recommendations of use of a product can differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used. SIST EN 14349:2008



EN 14349:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard 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. This European Standard is applicable to products for use 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. EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to "use recommendations". NOTE 1 Mycobacteria are the subject of a separate standard. NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a Phase 2 Step 2 test. 2 Normative references The following referenced document is indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12353, Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics — Preservation of test organisms used for the determination of bactericidal, mycobactericidal, sporicidal and fungicidal activity 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 product chemical agent or formulation used as chemical disinfectant or antiseptic 3.2 bactericide product that kills vegetative bacteria under defined conditions NOTE The adjective derived from 'bactericide' is 'bactericidal'. 3.3 bactericidal activity capability of a product to produce a reduction in the number of viable bacterial cells of relevant test organisms under defined conditions 4 Requirements The product diluted in hard water (5.2.2.6) or – in the case of ready-to-use products – with water (5.2.2.2) when tested, in accordance with Clause 5, shall demonstrate at least a lg 4 reduction in viable counts from a water control when the test organisms are Enterococcus hirae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The test is carried out under simulated low level (3,0 g/l bovine albumin) or high level soiling conditions (10 g/l yeast extract and 10 g/l bovine albumin) according to its practical applications and under the required test conditions (10 °C, 30 min, 4 referenced strains). Where appropriate additional and SIST EN 14349:2008



EN 14349:2007 (E) 6 optional contact times and additional and optional temperatures in accordance with 5.2.1 and 5.5.1 are specified. 5 Test method 5.1 Principle A test suspension of bacteria mixed with interfering substance is inoculated onto the test surface and dried. After a drying time, 0,1 ml of the product is transferred to the surface. The surface is maintained at a specified temperature for a defined period of time. The surface is transferred to a previously validated neutralization medium so that the action of the disinfectant is immediately neutralized. The number of surviving organisms which can be recovered from the surface is determined quantitatively. The number of bacteria on a surface treated with water in place of the disinfectant is also determined and the reduction in viable counts calculated by difference. 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms The bactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the following strains: Enterococcus hirae ATCC 105411); Proteus vulgaris ATCC 133151); Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 154421); Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 65381). NOTE See Annex D for corresponding strain numbers in other culture collections. If required for specific applications, additional strains may be chosen and shall be noted in the test report. Their suitability for supplying inocula of sufficient concentration shall be verified. If the additional strains tested are not classified at a reference centre, identification characteristics shall be given. In addition they shall be held by the testing laboratory under a reference for 5 years (see EN 12353 for storage of strains). 5.2.2 Culture media and reagents 5.2.2.1 General All weights of chemical substances given in this European Standard refer to anhydrous salts. Hydrated forms may be used as an alternative, but the weights required shall be adjusted to allow for consequent molecular weight differences. The reagents shall be of analytical grade and/or appropriate for microbiological purposes. They shall be free from substances that are toxic or inhibitory to the test organisms. If additional strains do not grow on the media (5.2.2.3) or cannot be used with diluent (5.2.2.4) additional media shall be used and shall be reported as well as additional incubation conditions.
