STANDARD EFFICACY TEST PROTOCOLS!<br />
PURPOSE OF EFFICACY TEST PROTOCOLS!<br />
!<br />
• End users can select a product that is appropriate for their use"<br />
"- provide reliable information on the efficacy <strong>of</strong> an antimicrobial product "<br />
• Ensure that the product specification from the manufacturer or supplier is accurate"<br />
Infection Prevention Society, <strong>Cardiff</strong> 2011!
STANDARD EFFICACY TEST PROTOCOLS!<br />
Most common efficacy protocols used for determining sporicidal activity against C.<br />
difficile (from label claim and web information on specific sporicidal product)"<br />
!<br />
Phase 1, step 1 tests: the ability <strong>of</strong> a product to demonstrate bactericidal, fungicidal or sporicidal activity,<br />
without regard to specific conditions <strong>of</strong> intended use, is tested "<br />
!<br />
EN14347: Basic sporicidal activity"<br />
"Method developed by the Horizontal Working Group"<br />
"Temperature: 20ºC; contact time one <strong>of</strong> the following 30, 60, 120 min; no soiling (no C. difficile)"<br />
!<br />
!<br />
Phase 2, step 1 tests: tests are suspension tests to determine bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal or<br />
sporicidal activity under laboratory conditions that simulate practical conditions. "<br />
!<br />
EN1276: "Bactericidal suspension test (no C. difficile)"<br />
"Method developed by the Food Hygiene and Domestic and Institutional use Working Group"<br />
"Temperature: 20ºC(4-40ºC); contact time: 5 min (1-60 min)"<br />
"<br />
EN13704: <strong>Sporicidal</strong> suspension test (no C. difficile)"<br />
" Method developed by the Food Hygiene and Domestic and Institutional use Working Group"<br />
"Temperature: 20ºC(4-40ºC); contact time: 5 min (1-60 min)"<br />

!<br />
“<strong>Sporicidal</strong>, kill Clostridium difficile (C.diff) spores (EN 1276 & EN 14347), started with<br />
15,300,000 c. diff spores and were reduced in one minute contact time to less than<br />
10 C. diff spores in both clean & dirty conditions” "<br />

vulgaris, Vibrio cholerae and Clostridium difficile (spores & vegetative)” "<br />
Infection Prevention Society, <strong>Cardiff</strong> 2011!
INTERPRETING EFFICACY TEST PROTOCOLS!<br />
PRODUCT C!<br />
“Product C achieved a 100% kill <strong>of</strong> vegetative cells <strong>of</strong> Clostridium difficile ATCC 9689 (1.1<br />
x 10 7 ) dried out on a 12 inch square stainless steel test surface. (Wipe time: 30<br />
seconds)”"<br />
"<br />
Validation <strong>of</strong> Product C efficacy against Clostridium difficile ATCC 9689 – surface test"<br />
Methodology:"<br />
"<br />
“The test organism was inoculated into 9ml <strong>of</strong> cooked meat medium (Biomerieux) and<br />
incubated at 37 0 C for 48 hours to obtain a culture containing approximately 10 8 cells/ml<br />
(actual count = 1.1 x 10 8 /ml). A 12 inch square test surface was marked out on a<br />
stainless steel plate and one ml <strong>of</strong> inoculum was spread over the test surface and<br />
allowed to dry for 30 minutes. The Product C was wiped systematically over the test<br />
surface for 30 seconds. Suspensions were taken from the surface <strong>of</strong> the test site and<br />
from the wipe itself, plated out on HBA plates and incubated in an anaerobic jar for five<br />
days at 37 o C .”"<br />
NO MENTION THAT THE TEST WAS CONDUCTED ANAEROBICALLY!!!<br />

“A taskforce has now been formed with representatives from the Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Health's Advisory Committee on Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare<br />
Associated Infection (ARHAI), the Hospital Infection Society (HIS) HIS, the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Health (England) and the Health Protection Agency. "<br />
"<br />
AIMS:!<br />
1. to develop an accepted standard for laboratory testing <strong>of</strong> disinfectants which<br />
claim to have activity against C. difficile spores; "<br />
2. to develop a network <strong>of</strong> laboratories with capability to perform in vitro assays <strong>of</strong><br />
sporicidal activity <strong>of</strong> disinfectants"<br />
3. to explore the creation <strong>of</strong> a national quality assessment scheme for laboratories<br />
which perform in vitro assays <strong>of</strong> sporicidal activity <strong>of</strong> disinfectants.”"<br />
