This standard specifies requirements for two types of detergent-disinfectant that contain organic halogen compounds (other than iodine compounds), such as fluorine, bromine or chlorine, in which the halogen(s) is (are) directly linked to nitrogen and that also contain other chemical agents (such as compatible surface-active agents and phosphates), that are miscible with water and intended for use on inanimate surfaces. The standard is intended for the evaluation of detergent-disinfectants for general use. Examples include chloramine T, halazone, dichloroisocyanuric acid and dibromo-tetramethyl-imidazoldinone.
NOTE 1 Using this specification, it is not possible to determine the bactericidal activity of the undiluted product. Some dilution is always produced by the addition of inoculum, hard water and sterile skimmed milk.
NOTE 2 If a product complies with the test requirements, it can be considered to be bactericidal, but it should not necessarily be inferred that the product is a suitable detergent-disinfectant for a defined purpose.
