CONTAINED IN VOL. 11.08, 2018 Provides to quantify the efficacy of vaporous decontaminants on Bacillus spores dried on the surface of coupons made from porous and non-porous materials and contained within 0.2[mu]m filter-capped tubes.

1.1This practice is used to quantify the efficacy of vaporous decontaminants on Bacillus spores dried on the surface of coupons made from porous and non-porous materials and contained within 0.2µm filter-capped tubes.

1.2This practice should be performed only by those trained in microbiological techniques, are familiar with antimicrobial (sporicidal) agents and with the end use of such products.

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
