What is the standard test for evaluating the efficiency of antiseptics and disinfectants?

The standard test for evaluating the efficiency of antiseptics and disinfectants is typically the ASTM E2315 or the EN 13727, which assess the bactericidal activity against specific microorganisms under defined conditions. These tests involve exposing a test microorganism to the disinfectant for a specified contact time and then determining the reduction in microbial count. Additional standards, such as EN 14675, may be used to assess virucidal and fungicidal activity. The results help determine the effectiveness and suitability of the product for specific applications.
