This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectant 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 medical area for disinfecting non-porous surfaces by wiping – regardless if they are covered by the EEC/93/42 Directive on Medical Devices or not. This European Standard applies to areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care, for example: – in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions; – in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes;and may occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as laundries and kitchenssupplying products directly for the patients. NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 2. test. EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to "use recommendations".
