EN 14349:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard specifies a surface test for establishing whether a chemical disinfectant or antiseptic has bactericidal activity in the area and 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 the chosen experimental conditions. However, for some applications, the instructions of use of a product may differ and therefore additional test conditions need to be used. SIST EN 14349:2013



EN 14349:2012 (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 applies to products that are used in the veterinary area on non-porous surfaces without mechanical action 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 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 2 test. This method cannot be used to evaluate the activity of products against mycobacteria. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. 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 EN 14885, Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics — Application of European Standards for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 14885 apply. 4 Requirements The product shall demonstrate at least a 4 decimal log (lg) reduction from a water control, when tested in accordance with Table 1 and Clause 5 under simulated low level (3,0 g/l bovine albumin) or high level soiling (10 g/l yeast extract and 10 g/l bovine albumin) on a surface.

The recommended contact time for the use of the product is within the responsibility of the manufacturer.
NOTE For the additional conditions, the concentration defined as a result can be lower than the one obtained under the obligatory test conditions.
Any additional specific bactericidal activity shall be determined in accordance with 5.2.1 and 5.5.1.1 in order to take into account intended specific use conditions. SIST EN 14349:2013



EN 14349:2012 (E) 7 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, in a manner which covers the dried film. The surface is maintained at a specified temperature for a defined period of time specified in Clause 4 and 5.5.1.1. At the end of that contact time the surface is transferred to a neutralizer so that the action of the disinfectant is immediately neutralized. The numbers 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 is calculated. The test is performed using Enterococcus hirae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as test organisms (Clause 4, Table 1). Additional and optional contact times and temperatures are specified (Clause 4, Table 1). Additional interfering substances and test organisms may be used. 5.2 Materials and reagents 5.2.1 Test organisms The bactericidal activity shall be evaluated using the following strains1)
: Enterococcus hirae ATCC 10541; Proteus vulgaris ATCC 13315; Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442; Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538. NOTE See Annex A for strain references in some other culture collections. The required incubation temperature for these test organisms is 36 °C ± 1 °C or 37 °C ± 1 °C (5.3.2.3). The same temperature (either 36 °C or 37 °C) shall be used for all incubations performed during a test and its control and validation. If additional test organisms are used, they shall be incubated under optimum growth conditions (temperature, time, atmosphere, media) noted in the test report. If the additional test organisms selected do not correspond to the specified strains, their suitability for supplying the required inocula shall be verified. If these additional test organisms are not classified at a reference centre, their identification characteristics shall be stated. In addition, they shall be held by the testing laboratory or national culture collection under a reference for five years.
1) The ATCC numbers are the collection numbers of strains supplied by the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). This information is given for the convenience of users of this European Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of the product named. SIST EN 14349:2013



EN 14349:2012 (E) 8 5.2.2 Culture media and reagents 5.2.2.1 General All weights of chemical substances given in this European Standard refer to the 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. To improve the reproducibility, it is recommended that commercially available dehydrated material is used for the preparation of culture media. The manufacturers’ instructions relating to the preparation of these products should be rigorously followed. Ready-to-use media may be used if it complies with the required specification. For each culture medium and reagent, a time limitation for use should be fixed. 5.2.2.2 Water The water shall be freshly glass-distilled and not demineralised water. If distilled water of adequate quality is not available, water for injections (see bibliographic reference [1]) may be used. Sterilize in the autoclave [5.3.2.1a)]. Sterilization is not necessary if the water is used e. g. for preparation of culture media and subsequently sterilized. NOTE The procedure to prepare hard water is described in 5.2.2.6. 5.2.2.3 Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA) Tryptone soya agar, consisting of: Tryptone, pancreatic digest of casein 15,0 g; Soya peptone, papaic digest of soybean meal 5,0 g; Sodium chloride (NaCl)
5,0 g; Agar
15,0 g; Water (5.2.2.2)
to 1 000 ml. Sterilize in the autoclave [5.3.2.1 a)]. After sterilization the pH of the medium shall be equivalent to 7,2 ± 0,2 when measured at (20 ±1) °C. In case of encountering problems with neutralization (5.5.1.2 and 5.5.1.3), it may be necessary to add neutralizer to the TSA. Annex B gives guidance on the neutralizers that may be used. It is recommended not to use a neutralizer that causes opalescence in the agar. SIST EN 14349:2013

1,0 g; Sodium chloride (NaCl)
8,5 g; Water (5.2.2.2)
to
1 000 ml. Sterilize in the autoclave [5.3.2.1 a)]. After sterilization the pH of the diluent shall be equivalent to 7,0 ± 0,2, when measured at (20 ±1) °C. 5.2.2.5 Neutralizer The neutralizer shall be validated for the product being tested in accordance with 5.5.1.2, 5.5.1.3 and 5.5.2. The neutralizer shall be sterile. NOTE Information on neutralizers that have been found to be suitable for some categories of products is given in Annex B. 5.2.2.6 Hard water for dilution of products For the preparation of 1 l of hard water, the procedure is as follows: - prepare solution A: dissolve 19,84 g magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and 46,24 g calcium chloride (CaCl2) in water (5.2.2.2) and dilute to 1 000 ml. Sterilize by membrane filtration (5.3.2.7) or in the autoclave [5.3.2.1a)]. Autoclaving – if used - may cause a loss of liquid. In this case make up to 1 000 ml with water (5.2.2.2) under aseptic conditions. Store the solution in the refrigerator (5.3.2.8) for no longer than one month. - prepare solution B: dissolve 35,02 g sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) in water (5.2.2.2) and dilute to 1 000 ml. Sterilize by membrane filtration (5.3.2.7). Store the solution in the refrigerator (5.3.2.8) for no longer than one week. Place 600 ml to 700 ml of water (5.2.2.2) in a 1 000 ml volumetric flask (5.3.2.12) and add 6,0 ml of solution A, then 8,0 ml of solution B. Mix and dilute to 1 000 ml with water (5.2.2.2). The pH of the hard water shall be
7,0 ± 0,2, when measured at (20 ±1) °C (5.3.2.4). If necessary, adjust the pH by using a solution of approximately 40 g/l (about 1 mol/l) of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or approximately 36,5 g/l (about 1 mol/l) of hydrochloric acid (HCl). The hard water shall be freshly prepared under aseptic conditions and used within 12 h. NOTE When preparing the product test solutions (5.4.2), the addition of the product to the hard water produces different final water hardness in each test tube. In any case the final hardness expressed as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is in the test tube lower than 375 mg/l. 5.2.2.7 Interfering substances 5.2.2.7.1 General The interfering substance shall be chosen according to the conditions of use laid down for the product. The interfering substance shall be sterile and prepared at 2 times its final concentration in the test. For the additional interfering substances, the ionic composition (e.g. pH, calcium and/or magnesium hardness) and chemical composition (e.g. mineral substances, protein, carbohydrates, lipids and detergents) shall be defined. SIST EN 14349:2013



EN 14349:2012 (E) 10 NOTE The term ‘interfering substance’ is used even if it contains more than one substance. 5.2.2.7.2 Low level soiling (bovine albumin solution) Dissolve 0,6 g of bovine albumin V (suitable for microbiological purposes) in 90 ml of water (5.2.2.2) in a
