sporicidal / sporicidal activity

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.
