In the EN 13727 standard, which is a European standard, the minimum requirements for the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics are explained and a test method is presented. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: EN 13727 + A2 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test - For evaluation of bacteria killing activity in the medical field - Test method and requirements (stage 2, step 1).
This standard specifies minimum requirements and provides a test method for the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectant and antiseptic products that form a homogeneous and physically stable preparation when diluted with hard water or in the case of ready-to-use products. In this test method, products are tested only at a concentration of 80 percent or less. In some special cases, tests are performed with a modified method at 97 percent concentration.
The EN 13727 standard applies to products used in the medical field such as hygienic hand scrub, hygienic hand washing, surgical hand scrub, surgical hand washing, instrument disinfection by immersion, surface disinfection by wiping, spraying, flooding or other means, and textile disinfection. This standard applies to areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated. Such indications arise in patient care. For example, in hospitals, healthcare facilities, dental treatment centers, school clinics, kindergartens, nursing homes, workplaces and homes. This standard does not include services such as laundry and kitchen that provide products directly to patients.
Meanwhile, the EN 14885 standard explains the relationship of various tests with each other and offers detailed recommendations (TS EN 14885 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Application of European standards for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics).
