Antiseptic & disinfectant testing
Antiseptic and disinfectant testing according to standardized tests or to your own protocols.
ACM Pharma adapts to each need
The objective of biocidal activity tests is to determine the capacity or not of a product (antiseptic, surface / hand disinfectants) to cause a desired logarithmic reduction in a given time under defined conditions (T ° C, interfering substances, support, etc…). The tests are carried out according to the main standards in force:
- Determination of the activity of antiseptic drugs according to Ph Eur, chap 5.1.11
- Bactericidal activity according to NF EN 1040, NF EN 1276, NF EN 1656
- Fungicidal activity according to NF EN 1275, NF EN 1650, NF EN 1657
- Surface test according to NF EN 13697, NF EN 14561, NF EN 14562, NF EN 14563 & NF EN 17387
- Antimicrobial activity of surfaces (non-porous) according to ISO 22196 & NF S 90-700
- Sporicidial activity according to NF EN 14347, NF EN 13704 and NF EN 17126 (sporicidial activity versus Clostridium difficile)
- Mycobactericidal activity according to NF EN 14348
- Virucidial activity according to EN 14476 (in partnership)
According your own strategy for validating the effectiveness of disinfectants under “in-use” conditions on your environmental strains and on your surfaces (for example: stainless steel, glove, floor, wall, ceiling, PVC, machine housing ) according to the protocol of standard NF EN 13697 and USP <1072>:
