EN 14476, a European standard, describes the virus kill suspension requirements and test methods used in medicine, among chemical disinfectants and antiseptics.

TS EN 14476 Chemical Disinfectants and Antiseptics

This standard has also been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) under the following heading: TS EN 14476 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Virus killing quantitative suspension test for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in medicine - Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 1)

The concept of biocide describes a broad spectrum chemical substance that neutralizes microorganisms. Biocides vary depending on antimicrobial activity and are used in conjunction with statements that refer to agents that kill the target organism. For example, bacteriostatic, fungistatic and sporistatic, or more specifically sporicidal, virucidal and bactericidal.

Sterilization refers to a physical or chemical process that completely destroys or eliminates all microbial life, including spores. The antibacterial action systems of antiseptics and disinfectants used for this purpose are known in detail today.

On the other hand, studies on the effects of fungi, viruses and protozoa are ongoing. The interaction of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics with the cell surface and subsequent penetration into the cell is different. Because the nature and composition of the surface varies from one cell type to another.

Disinfectants do not necessarily kill all organisms, but reduce them to a level that does not harm health or the quality of perishable products.

Disinfectants are also applied to materials such as equipment, devices and surfaces in medicine to control and prevent infection. It is also used to disinfect the skin before surgery.

Antiseptics, on the other hand, are a type of disinfectant that, when applied to the surfaces of the body or exposed tissues, prevents or prevents microorganisms in living tissues without harmful effects.
