The EN 1656 standard, a European standard, describes the minimum requirements for determining the bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectant and antiseptic products that, when diluted with hard water or mixed with water in ready-to-use products, form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation, and defines a test method. . Such products are only tested at 80 percent concentration or less because some dilution is always produced by adding test organisms and interfering substances.
This test method aims to determine the efficacy of commercial formulations or active substances under the conditions in which they are used.
This standard covers products used in the veterinary field, such as the raising, breeding, transport and destruction of all animals, unless they are included in the food chain after entry into the slaughter and processing industry. This standard also applies to products used for equipment disinfection by immersion, surface disinfection by wiping, spraying, flooding or other means. This document also applies to products used for teat disinfection in these veterinary fields. However, this standard does not apply to assessing the effectiveness of hand hygiene products.
In the application of this standard, the terms and definitions in the standard "EN 14885 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Application of European standards for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics" are valid.
This test method uses four organisms as essential organisms for bactericidal activity: enterococcus hirae, proteus hauseri, pseudomonas aeruginosa, and staphylococcus aureus.. The interfering substance is chosen between a low-level soil or high-level soil condition and a mandatory temperature of 5 to 40 degrees.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides quantitative suspension testing services for the evaluation of the bactericidal effectiveness of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in the veterinary field, within the scope of the EN 1656 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment. gives.
