ASTM WK35616

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK35616 - Revision of E1174 - 06 Standard Test Method for Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Health Care Personnel Handwash Formulations

Active Standard: E1174 - 13

Developed by Subcommittee: E35.15 | Committee E35 Home | Contact Staff Manager

1. Rationale

E1174-06 is now up for renewal. The committee has proposed that testing of leave-on products be removed from this method because the recently approved E2755 method now covers the testing of leave-on products, and that low volume contamination be added as an alternative to the standard hand contamination procedure.
