Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard is applicable to disinfectants used for the disinfection of infectious foci or environments contaminated by infectious disease pathogens. It is mandatory for all manufacturers producing disinfectants intended for epidemic focus disinfection in China. It specifically covers requirements for raw materials, technical specifications, testing methods, and usage guidelines. This standard does not apply to disinfectants for drinking water, fruits, vegetables, hands, or skin, as these were removed from the previous version.
Technical requirements
GB 27953-2020 specifies comprehensive requirements for disinfectants used in infectious foci. The standard mandates that the active ingredient content must remain within ±10% of the labeled value throughout the product's shelf life, and the pH value must be within ±1.0 of the identified central value. Manufacturers must ensure that the decline rate of the active ingredient does not exceed 10% during the validity period. The standard also sets strict requirements for microbicidal efficacy, requiring that laboratory tests meet the criteria specified in the Disinfection Technical Specification (2002) and relevant national standards. Additionally, it outlines toxicological safety requirements, ensuring that with proper protective measures, the disinfectant poses no harm to the user's health. The standard categorizes the selection of disinfectants based on the type of pathogen (e.g., prions, spores, mycobacteria, viruses) and the object to be disinfected (e.g., environmental surfaces, air, sewage, tableware).
Testing methods
The testing methods outlined in GB 27953-2020 are primarily based on the Disinfection Technical Specification (2002). The standard requires testing for physicochemical indicators to verify the active ingredient content and pH stability. Microbicidal efficacy tests must be conducted to confirm the disinfectant's ability to eliminate target microorganisms, including specific infectious disease pathogens. Furthermore, toxicological safety evaluations are mandatory to ensure the product does not pose health risks to users under recommended application conditions.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 27953-2020?
GB 27953-2020 regulates disinfectants specifically designed for the disinfection of infectious foci and environments contaminated by infectious disease pathogens. It covers chemical disinfectants like chlorine-based, peroxide-based, and bromine-based products used for environmental surfaces, air, and sewage.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 27953-2011?
Yes, the 2020 version introduces several key changes, including the addition of normative references, new terms like concurrent disinfection and terminal disinfection, and specific requirements for raw materials. It also expands the scope of pathogen coverage and removes sections related to drinking water, fruits, and skin disinfection.
How does GB 27953-2020 address special infectious disease pathogens?
For special pathogens like SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and Ebola virus, the standard requires that disinfectant selection and usage follow specific national guidelines issued for those diseases. It emphasizes the use of high-level disinfectants for blood-borne pathogens like Hepatitis B and HIV.
