Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Handwashing Formulations for Virus-Eliminating Activity Using the Entire Hand (Withdrawn 2008) — 5 стр.
Причина отмены Rationale

This test method is designed to evaluate antimicrobial agents in formulations for utility and effectiveness for virus-eliminating activity using human subjects.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee E35 on Pesticides and Alternative Control Agents, this test method was withdrawn in August 2008 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

Значение и использование

This test method should be used to evaluate the virus-eliminating effectiveness of these formulations after handwashing. Effective formulations can be further evaluated in a clinical trial on human subjects. Published data have shown (1) that results of in vitro tests do not accurately reflect what occurs when this class of products is used in the health care facility. This test method involves the incorporation of whole hand exposure and friction from washing, reflecting actual use conditions in human subjects. It is meant to confirm the results of testing with Test Method E 1836. This method gives precise reductions on a limited area of the finger, the fingerpads.

This test method is not meant for use with surgical hand scrubs or preoperative skin preparations.
