AFNOR NF T72-281 standard: Results obtained by IBL SPECIFIK
IBL Specifik has developed top-of-the-range equipment that has obtained airborne disinfection standards (= standards for disinfecting surfaces by air) with the APABIO disinfectant.
The standard in question is standard NF T 72 281. This is a French standard for determining bactericidal, yeasticidal, fungicidal and sporicidal activity for airborne surface disinfection.
IBL Specifik aerial disinfection equipment complies with the NF T72-281 standard, which guarantees its effectiveness.
Here is an extract of the results obtained for the appliance / product pair : AIRBIO / APABIO in 2010:
| Strains tested | T = Count of control supports (average of 2 supports) | E = Number of supports tested - n'1 + n'2 (average of the 3 supports) | d = reduction rate = disinfectant activity | NF T 72-281 standard requirements |
| Bactericidal activity | ||||
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa CIP 103.467 |
T = 3.3 x 107 | E = 0 | d > 7.52 log | d ≥ 5 log |
| Staphylococcus aureus CIP 4.83 |
T = 2.3 x 107 | E = 0 | d > 7.36 log | d ≥ 5 log |
| Yeast-killing activity | ||||
| Candida albicans ATCC 10-231 |
T = 1.7 x 106 | E = 0 | d > 6.23 log | d ≥ 4 log |
| Fungicidal activity | ||||
| Aspergillus niger ATCC 16.404 |
T = 4.5 x 106 | E = 0 | d > 6.65 log | d ≥ 4 log |
| Sporicidal activity | ||||
| Bacillus subtilis CIP 52.62 |
T = 4.0 x 106 | E = 0 | d > 6.60 log | d ≥ 3 log |
The device / product combination : AIRBIO / APABIO has bactericidal activity on Pseudomonas aeruginosa CIP 103.467, yeasticide on Candida albicans ATCC 10-231, fungicide on Aspergillus niger ATCC 16.404 and sporicidal on Bacillus subtilis CIP 52.62 by air in accordance with the methodology of standard NF T 72-281 (May 2009) for a dose of between 10 and 14 ml/m3 and for a contact time of 2 hours, after the diffusion time of the product.
