Foreword

This Document was drafted as per the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for Standardization – Part 1.Rules for the Structure and Drafting of Standardizing Documents. This Document replaced GB/T 31402-2015 Plastics - Measurement of Antibacterial Activity on Plastics Surfaces. Compared with GB/T 31402-2015, the major technical changes of this Document are as follows besides structural adjustments and editorial modifications. a) Change the "Scope" to expand the scope of application from plastics to plastics and other non-porous materials; and add descriptions of materials and products not covered by this Document (see Clause 1 of this Edition; Clause 1 of the 2015 Edition); b) Change the requirements for the use of "test bacteria" (see 4.1 of this Edition; 4.1 of the 2015 Edition); c) Change the requirements for cleaning the specimen in "Preparation of specimens" (see 7.2 of this Edition; 7.2 of the 2015 Edition). This Document equivalently adopted ISO 22196.2011 Measurement of Antibacterial Activity on Plastics and Other Non-Porous Surfaces. This Document made the following minimum editorial modifications. --- Use Method B in the informative reference document GB/T 19275-2003 to replace Method C in ISO 846.1997.The relevant technical contents of the two documents are completely consistent (see Clause 1); --- Domestic strain numbers equivalent to the tested strains are listed in Table 1 and explained in footnotes; --- Add Annex NA (informative) "Calculation of antibacterial rate". Please note some contents of this Document may involve patents. The issuing agency of this Document shall not identify these patents. This Document was proposed by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. This Document shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Plastics of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 15). Drafting organizations of this Document.

1 Scope

This Document specifies a method of evaluating the antibacterial activity of antibacterial- treated plastics, and other non-porous, surfaces of products (including intermediate products). This Document is not intended to be used to evaluate the effects and propagation of bacteria on non-porous surfaces without antibacterial treatments. If evaluation is required, see Method B in GB/T 19275-2003[1].

2 Normative References

The provisions in following documents become the essential provisions of this Document through reference in this Document. For the dated documents, only the versions with the dates indicated are applicable to this Document; for the undated documents, only the latest version (including all the amendments) is applicable to this Document. ISO 7218 Microbiology of food and animal feeding stuffs – General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations

3 Terms and Definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. Ability of an antibacterial agent to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the surface of materials treated with an antibacterial agent, as determined by the value of the antibacterial activity.

4 Materials

Prepare physiological saline by placing 8.5 g of sodium chloride in 1 000 ml of distilled or deionized water and mixing to dissolve. Dilute the phosphate buffer solution prepared in 4.2.3.7 with the physiological saline to an 800-fold volume. Sterilize the phosphate-buffered physiological saline solution by autoclaving (see 6.2). If this solution is not used immediately after preparation, store it at 5 °C to 10 °C. Phosphate-buffered physiological saline kept for one month or longer after preparation shall not be used.

5 Apparatus

Unless otherwise specified, use the following apparatus and materials.

6 Sterilization of Apparatus and Storage of Stock Cultures

Stock cultures shall be stored at 5 °C to 10 °C on an appropriate medium and transferred monthly. After five transfers or if more than one month has passed between transfers, the stock culture shall be discarded and replaced with a fresh culture obtained from the institute or culture collection concerned.

7 Procedure

Testing shall be performed on at least three specimens from each treated test material. At least six specimens of the untreated material are required. Half of the untreated test specimens are used to measure viable cells immediately after inoculation and half are used to measure viable cells after incubation for 24 h. Using a sterile inoculating loop, transfer one loop of the test bacteria, pre-incubated as specified in 7.1, into a small amount of 1/500 NB prepared in accordance with 4.2.3.2.Ensure that the test bacteria are evenly dispersed, and estimate the number of bacteria using direct microscopic observation and a counting chamber or another appropriate method (e.g.

8 Expression of Results

For each test specimen, determine the number of viable bacteria recovered in accordance with Equation (1). The value of the antibacterial activity can be used to characterize the effectiveness of an antibacterial agent.

9 Repeatability and Reproducibility

Repeatability and reproducibility are discussed quantitatively in Annex B.

10 Test Report

The test report shall include the following information.

Annex A

(Normative) Quality of Biological Materials The quality of the components used in the inoculum preparations might differ depending on the source, and this might cause significant variability in results. Therefore, the composition of the components used needs to be specified.

Annex B

(Informative) Repeatability and Reproducibility The content of this annex is based on the results of extensive research conducted to investigate the repeatability and reproducibility of the results from this method. ......
