EN 14675 Virucidal Testing in Veterinary Applications
The European standard EN 14675 specifies procedures for the determination of virucidal efficacy on veterinary products. This testing is critical for ensuring that disinfectants and other antimicrobial agents are effective against viruses when used in agricultural, food processing, or animal health settings.
Viral detection and quantification play a pivotal role in confirming the efficacy of these products. The standard outlines rigorous procedures to assess how well a product can eliminate or inactivate viruses under controlled conditions, thereby ensuring public safety and effective disease control measures.
The testing process involves exposing test samples to known viral loads followed by assessment of residual virus post-treatment. This allows for the quantification of virucidal efficacy, which is essential for compliance with regulatory requirements and quality assurance in product development.
For our clients, Eurolab provides EN 14675 testing services that meet all relevant criteria as defined by this standard. Our state-of-the-art facilities support comprehensive laboratory testing to ensure the reliability of results. We utilize advanced instrumentation and methodologies to deliver accurate and reproducible data.
This service is particularly important for companies in the veterinary sector who are developing new products or seeking to comply with EU regulations regarding disinfectant efficacy against viruses. By adhering strictly to EN 14675, we help our clients achieve regulatory compliance while enhancing product safety and efficacy.
The testing process typically involves several steps:
- Preparation of the test samples according to specified protocols.
- Exposure of the samples to known viral loads under controlled conditions.
- Application of the disinfectant or antimicrobial agent.
- Incubation period to allow for virus inactivation.
- Detection and quantification of residual viruses post-treatment using molecular methods like RT-qPCR (Reverse Transcription Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction).
The results provide clear evidence of the product's virucidal efficacy, which is crucial for marketing claims and regulatory submissions. Compliance with EN 14675 ensures that products meet stringent safety standards and can be used confidently in veterinary applications.
