The ASTM E1052-20 standard, developed by the American Testing and Materials Organization (ASTM), describes an application for demonstrating the virucidal activity of suspended viruses and test substances. It is the research assistant's responsibility to determine if Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) regulations are required and to follow them as appropriate. For performance standards of virucidal activity, it is necessary to apply to the appropriate regulatory agency.
Briefly, this application is to determine whether a test substance can inactivate viruses in suspension. Regulators may require additional testing for product registration purposes using in vitro (ASTM E1053 and ASTM E2197 standards) or in vivo (ASTM E1838 standard) carrier tests.
This test method aims to demonstrate the virucidal activity of test substances with virus in suspension. Alternatively, any of the following viruses is used in this test method: Adenovirus type 2 or type 5, Canine Parvovirus, Feline Calcivirus, Hepatitis A virus, Herpes simplex, Murine Norovirus, Rhinovirus, Rotavirus or Vaccinia. The product should be tested at at least three concentrations, one in the active range and one in the inactive range. The controls specified in the ASTM E1052-20 standard and NF EN 14476 standard are used in order to perform a complete and more rigorous test in advanced laboratories.
There are two ASTM test methods for testing hard surface disinfectants for viruses. Of these, the ASTM-E1052 standard is a test method aimed at demonstrating virucidal activity in suspension. The other is the ASTM-E1053 standard and is intended for the evaluation of virucidal activity of chemicals on inanimate, non-porous environmental surfaces. A wide variety of viruses are proposed for testing, but to demonstrate that the test substance has broad virucidal activity, it must be shown to be effective against at least one non-enveloped virus (viruses that blast cells out of the cell and multiply are called non-enveloped viruses).
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, is a standard test to evaluate the activity of microbicides in suspension against viruses within the scope of ASTM E1052-20 standard. services.
