Dezinfektantët kimik dhe antiseptikët - Prova sasiore e suspensionit për vlerësimin e aktivitetit bakterial të dezinfektantëve kimikë të Legionella në sistemet ujore - Metoda e provës dhe kërkesat ( faza 2 ,hapi 1)

Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of bactericidal activity against Legionella of chemical disinfectants for aqueous systems - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1)

Scope

This European Standard specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectant products intended to be used for treatment in aqueous systems against Legionella pneumophila that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation when diluted with buffered ferrous hard water or hard water. Whenever Legionella pneumophila poses a risk to human health, this method is suitable for water used in cooling towers and water for general purposes, like spas, pools, showers and other uses. The method is not suitable for electro-chemical disinfection.
The European Standard applies to products used to treat water in order to kill Legionella pneumophila.
NOTE 1 The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations or active substances under the conditions in which they are used.
NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 1 test .
NOTE 3 This method does not take into account the fact that Legionella pneumophila is often found in cells of amoebae and/or biofilms and that thereby a product’s activity against the bacteria may be reduced.
EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to "use recommendation".
