Test method of antiviral activity of a non-porous antiviral surface following air-transmitted contamination

Apstrakt

This document specifies a proper method for measuring antiviral activity on non-porous surfaces of products treated with antiviral agents used in a dry condition against specified viruses following air-transmitted contamination. It evaluates the resistance of non-porous materials to specific air-transmitted viruses by simulating the situation where the activity of the virus is reduced after the microdroplets and aerosols generated during activities such as sneezing and coughing settle onto the material's surface. Due to individual sensitivities, the results of one test virus might not be applicable to other viruses.
This document is not intended to be used to substantiate cleaning or disinfecting properties.
This document is not intended to antiviral activity testing on porous surfaces and materials.
This document does not refer to methods for testing the toxicological and ecotoxicological properties of the surfaces.
