The EN 1500 standard, which is a European standard, describes the requirements and test methods of the hygienic hand scrubbing agent, which is among the chemical disinfectants and antiseptics.
This standard was also published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: TS EN 1500 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics - Hygienic hand rub substance - Test method and requirements (phase 2 / step 2).
Antiseptics and disinfectants are widely used in hospitals and healthcare facilities for body surface applications (topical) and hard surface applications such as skin or mucosa to treat various ailments. It has an important place especially in infection control applications since it helps prevent hospital infections.
The use of chemical antiseptic and disinfectants is increasing by humans, especially as epidemics are common and concerns about infection and microbial contamination increase. These products contain a wide range of active chemical substances (biocides) that have been used for antisepsis, disinfection and protection for many years.
In general, active chemicals (biocides) have a wide variety of activities and have a lot of intracellular targets.
The widespread use of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics brings some controversy over the development of microbial resistance. Their mode of action and microbial resistance systems differ from each other. The chemical structures and clinical uses of various biocide types used in these products have been determined.
Many of these biocides are used alone or as compounds in various products that vary significantly in activity against microorganisms. Antimicrobial activity depends on many factors such as formulation effects, the presence of an organic load, synergy, temperature, dilution and test method, and these are determined by laboratory tests.
