The following test methods set out the level of virucidal claim that can be made on a product:

BS EN 14476:2013 + A1 2015 + A2 2019 (E) Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics

Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of virucidal activity in the medical area- Test method and requirements (Phase 2/Step 1).

BS EN 17111:2018 Chemical disinfectants and antiseptics

Quantitative carrier test for the evaluation of virucidal activity for instruments used in the medical area. Test method and requirements (phase 2, step 2).

Instrument disinfection products can claim 3 levels of virucidal activity:

1) Virucidal activity 2) Limited spectrum virucidal activity or 3) Virucidal activity against enveloped viruses.

Our instrument disinfectant product claims ‘limited spectrum virucidal activity’. The standards state testing shall be performed against adenovirus and norovirus.

The A2 amendment clarifies that ‘The test for “limited spectrum virucidal activity” will cover all enveloped viruses and norovirus, rotavirus and adenovirus’.

No individual tests are required against rotavirus or any enveloped viruses, as they are covered by the ‘limited spectrum virucidal activity’ claim.
