BS EN 17422:2022 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics. Quantitative surface test for the evaluation of teat disinfectants used in the veterinary area. Test method and requirements (phase 2 step 2)
1 Scope
This document specifies a test method and the minimum requirements for bactericidal
activity of teat disinfectants that form a homogeneous, physically stable preparation
when diluted with hard water - or in the case of ready-to-use products - with water.
This method applies to teat disinfectants that are used on teat skin without mechanical
action as pre-milking and/or post-milking teat disinfectants in the veterinary area
- i.e. in the breeding, husbandry, production, veterinary care facilities, transport
and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following death and entry
into processing industry.
NOTE 1 The method described is intended to determine the activity of commercial formulations
under the conditions in which they are used.
NOTE 2 This method corresponds to a phase 2 step 2 test.
