Quantitative testing of the suspension to evaluate the virucidal activity of biocides in medical and domestic environments. It is the latest version of this test and involves the mandatory testing of virucidal activity on 3 strains of viruses, which have demonstrated the highest resistance to biocides, namely:
- Polyovirus type 1
- Adenovirus type 5
- Murine Norovirus
In the context of the pandemic, the latest version of the test also includes a separate verification of virucidal efficacy on the most resistant strain in the enveloped Coronavirus virus: Ankara Vaccinia.
Over several years the EN 14476 test has been used for individual testing of virucidal efficacy on various strains:
- Enterovirus (Coxsackievirus B4, B5)
- HIV
- Hepatitis A, B, C virus
- Herpes simplex virus
- Herpesvirus type 1 (pseudorabies)
- Cytomegalovirus
- Parvovirus
- Influenza A virus H1N1 sma
For this reason, the latest version of the test, EN 14476: 2014 + A2: 2019 + Ankara Vaccine, is a benchmark for demonstrating the effectiveness of virucides on any known virus.
Main areas of biocides tested:
- Hand disinfection by rubbing for 30 sec in domestic or public institutions and 120 sec in in-hospital environment (including surgery), at an average temperature of 20 ° C
- Disinfection of medical instruments: for one hour at an average temperature of 40 ° C.

- Disinfection of textile materials: at temperatures between 30 ° C - 70 ° C, maximum 20 min.
This test specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for mycobactericide (or tuberculocide), the activity of chemical disinfectants forming a homogeneous preparation, physically stable when diluted.
with hard water - or in the case of ready-to-use products - with water. Products can only be tested at a concentration of 80% or less because a certain dilution is always produced by the addition of tested organisms and interfering substance.

Quantitative testing of the suspension for the evaluation of fungicidal and levuricidal activity in the medical environment (phase 2, stage 1).
The test is performed on:
- Candida Albicans
- Aspergillus brasiliensis
The test is at a temperature of 20 ° C, in conditions of cleanliness or dirt, for:
- 30sec-60sec for hand disinfection
-1min-5min for disinfecting the surgeon's hands
- min 60 min for disinfection of instruments.

Testing the effectiveness of biocides for disinfecting surgeons' hands (phase 2, stage 2)
It is also valid for evaluating the efficiency of hand disinfection in any other conditions.
Testing takes place in several important stages:
- Careful washing of the surgeon's hands to remove mechanical particles and certain elements of pathogenic microflora. Take laboratory samples from the skin immediately after washing.
- Hand disinfection with the biocide proposed for testing. Use at least 4 ml of product, which is applied by rubbing for at least 60 sec. Larger amounts of biocide can be used repeatedly, respecting a hand rubbing time of at least 60 sec, up to 5 min.
Laboratory samples are taken again immediately.
- After 3 minutes, laboratory samples are taken again from the disinfected hands, without the surgeon touching anything during this time.
Repeated testing allows the determination of the mandatory remaining period of 3 min.
The results of the biocide test are evaluated against the efficacy of a 60% Propanol-1 ethanol solution. The testing is performed in parallel with a group of about 20 people: half will use the tested biocide, and the other half - the standard solution. The efficiency of the tested biocide must not be lower than that of the standard solution both immediately after application and after 3 min.
The test can be repeated in the same person after a period of at least one week to allow the restoration of normal skin microflora.
Test to evaluate the effectiveness of hand disinfection by rubbing, without prior hand washing (phase 2, stage 2). The test is valid for both medical and domestic environment, public institutions, its food industry
The test takes place on a group of about 20 young people, without hand injuries, with cut nails.
Half of the group will use the biocide under test, and the other half will use a standard solution: 60% 2-Propanol.
The hands of the tested persons will be infected with a suspension of Escherichia coli K12.
The standard solution will be used twice consecutively, 3 ml each, for 30 sec.
The biocidal product to be tested shall be used in similar quantities and times, or according to the manufacturer's instructions, but not exceeding the application time of 60 sec.
For the positive evaluation of the tested biocide, its efficiency should be better or equal to that of the standard sample.

The test is performed by applying a quantity of biocide on RhE (reconstructed human epidermis) up to 60sec.
Cell viability is then determined using an ELIS photometer.
The evaluation of the irritating properties of the biocide is determined by the degree of viability of the cells tested.
