Active against bacterial spores. In human medicine, as per the current EN 14885, sporicidal properties of surface disinfectants are determined by means of the following European norm:
EFFICACY CLAIM |
PHASE 2/STEP 1 (SUSPENSION TESTS) |
PHASE 2/STEP 1 (PRCTICAL TESTS) |
---|---|---|
SPORICIDAL | EN 17126 Test organisms: Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium difficile |
Following* EN 16615 (surface, with mechanical action) Test organisms: e. g. Bacillus cereus or Clostridium difficile |
* A practical carrier test for sporicidal surface disinfection based on the four-field test is currently not available and can therefore only be carried out on the basis of EN 16615.
