Scope:
This laboratory test method is used to evaluate the virucidal efficacy
of liquid, aerosol, or
trigger spray antimicrobial solutions on inanimate nonporous
environmental surfaces. This test
method may be employed with most viruses and is designed for cell
culture host systems.
This test method should be performed only by those trained in
microbiological or virological
techniques.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. The user
should consult a reference for the laboratory safety
recommendations.(Footnote 2)
It is the responsibility of the investigator to determine whether Good
Laboratory Practice
regulations (GLPs) are required and to follow them where appropriate
(40 CFR, Part 160 for EPA
submissions and 21 CFR, Part 58 for FDA submissions). Refer to the
appropriate regulatory agency
for performance standards of virucidal efficacy.
