1.1 本规程将定义测试条件，以评估旨在杀死/灭活沉积在无生命载体上的微生物的紫外线杀菌辐照（UVGI）照明设备（汞蒸汽灯泡、发光二极管或氙弧灯）。 1.2 本规程定义了与紫外线光谱和UVGI剂量评估相关的术语和方法。 1.3 本规程规定了可降低UVGI表面杀灭效果的测试注意事项，即存在污垢剂。 1.4 这种做法不解决阴影问题。 1.5 本规程只能由受过微生物学培训的人员使用，并应符合《微生物和生物医学实验室生物安全》（第5版），2009年，HHS出版物（CDC）21-1112号。 1.6 本规程不推荐特定的测试微生物或生长介质。本规程的使用者应根据其紫外线抗菌性能评估测试计划的具体目标选择适当的测试微生物和生长介质。 1.7 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.8 警告- 许多监管机构已将汞指定为一种危险物质，可导致严重的医疗问题。汞或其蒸汽已被证明对健康有害，并对材料具有腐蚀性。处理汞和含汞产品时应小心。有关更多信息，请参阅适用的产品安全数据表（SDS）。用户应意识到，当地或国家法律可能禁止销售汞或含汞产品，或两者兼有。 1.9 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.10 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 本规程确定了UVGI装置用于减少沉积在载体上的活菌的有效性。 5.2 本实践评估了污染剂对UVGI抗菌效果的影响。 5.3 这种做法决定了UVGI的剂量。

1.1 This practice will define test conditions to evaluate ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) light devices (mercury vapor bulbs, light-emitting diodes, or xenon arc lamps) that are designed to kill/inactivate microorganisms deposited on inanimate carriers. 1.2 This practice defines the terminology and methodology associated with the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum and evaluating UVGI dose. 1.3 This practice defines the testing considerations that can reduce UVGI surface kill effectiveness, that is, presence of a soiling agent. 1.4 This practice does not address shadowing. 1.5 This practice should only be used by those trained in microbiology and in accordance with the guidance provided by Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (5th edition), 2009, HHS Publication No. (CDC) 21-1112. 1.6 This practice does not recommend either specific test microbes or growth media. Users of this practice shall select appropriate test microbes and growth media based on the specific objectives of their UV antimicrobial performance evaluation test plan. 1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.8 Warning— Mercury has been designated by many regulatory agencies as a hazardous substance that can cause serious medical issues. Mercury, or its vapor, has been demonstrated to be hazardous to health and corrosive to materials. Caution should be taken when handling mercury and mercury-containing products. See the applicable product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information. Users should be aware that selling mercury or mercury-containing products, or both, may be prohibited by local or national law. 1.9 This 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. 1.10 This 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. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This practice determines the effectiveness of UVGI devices for reducing viable microorganisms deposited on carriers. 5.2 This practice evaluates the effect soiling agents have on UVGI antimicrobial effectiveness. 5.3 This practice determines the delivered UVGI dose.
