EN 16615 Chemical Disinfectants and Antiseptics, Test Standard for Mechanically Acting Non-Porous Surfaces Using Wipes in the Medical Field

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 16615 standard. This European standard specifies a test method and minimum requirements for the bactericidal and yeasticidal activity of chemical disinfectant products which, when diluted with hard water or, in the case of ready-to-use products, form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation with water.

This European standard applies to products used in the medical field for wiping disinfection of non-porous surfaces, including the surfaces of medical devices, whether or not covered by the 93/42/EEC Medical Devices Directive.

This European standard includes 'ready-to-use wipes' impregnated with a microbicidal solution. This European standard applies to areas and situations where disinfection is medically indicated.

Such manifestations occur in patient care, for example:

• In hospitals, community health institutions and dental institutions;
• In clinics of schools, kindergartens and nursing homes;
• It can occur at work and at home. It may also include services such as laundry and kitchens that provide products directly to patients.
