This document specifies the test conditions and the levels of activity to determine the bactericidal activity of non-porous surfaces used in a dry environment. It defines a protocol to validate the bactericidal character of a surface and to measure its performance. It is not intended to be used to substantiate cleaning or disinfecting properties.

iso 7581:2023(e) Numerous non-porous surfaces claim to perform a bactericidal function: — surfaces of materials that have been treated with or include a biocidal product in order to give the

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1.

iso 7581:2023 Evaluation of bactericidal activity of a non-porous antimicrobial surface used in a dry environment This document specifies the test conditions and the levels of activity to determine the bactericidal activity of non-porous surfaces used in a dry environment.

ISO 7581 specifies the test conditions and the levels of activity to determine the bactericidal activity of non-porous surfaces used in a dry environment. It defines a protocol to validate the bactericidal character of a surface and to measure its perform.

The document specifies the test conditions and the levels of activity with which non-porous surfaces shall comply in order to justify a claim of bactericidal activity. It defines a protocol to validate the bactericidal character of a surface and to measure its performance. It is not used to substantiate cleaning or disinfecting properties.

ISO 7581 is a standardised test method used for determining bactericidal activity of non-porous surfaces in a dry environment. Unlike other antibacterial test methods, ISO 7581 is a lot more stringent in its test conditions and is done so to replicate real-world use of antibacterial surfaces.
