BS EN 14675:2015 - Quantitative suspension test for the evaluation of virucidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics used in the veterinary area
- Bovine enteroviruses (ECBO).
- The disinfectant sample is added to a solution of viral suspension and interfering substance and allowed to interact for a specified contact time. The reaction is stopped using a neutralizing solution, and viral infectivity is measured using the TCID50 assay.
- Confirms product efficacy in virus control in veterinary settings.
- Offers a consistent approach for evaluating virucidal activity.

Abstract
EN 14675 is a phase 2, step 1 suspension test which determines the virucidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics intended for use in veterinary areas. According to EN 14675, the test must be conducted at a concentration of 80 percent or less, as adding organisms and interfering substances also results in some dilution.
EN 14675 test is applicable for products used in the following veterinary areas/situations –
- breeding, husbandry, production,
- transport and disposal of all animals except when in the food chain following death and entry to the processing industry.
EN 14675 Test Conditions & Requirements
- Test microorganisms used – Bovine enteroviruses (ECBO)
- Test temperature – 10 °C
- Contact time – 30 minutes
- Interfering substance (low-level soiling) – 3.0 g/l bovine albumin
- Interfering substance (high-level soiling) – 3.0 g/l bovine albumin plus 10g/l yeast extract
- Log reduction – For a product to pass virucidal efficacy criteria, it must achieve 4 log virus inactivation
Importance of EN 14675 Test
Choosing the right and effective disinfectant is essential to maintain proper hygiene and germ-free environment in veterinary facilities. In such environments, the efficacy of disinfectants is frequently impacted by heavily soiled surfaces coupled with other hygiene factors.
EN 14675 standard stimulates practical conditions to determine virucidal effectiveness of disinfectant products before real use.
