1.1This practice is designed to evaluate decontamination methods (physical, chemical, self-decontaminating materials) when used on air-permeable materials contaminated with virus-containing droplet nuclei.
1.2This practice defines the conditions for simulating respiratory droplet nuclei produced by humans.
1.3The practice is specific to influenza viruses, but could be adapted for work with other types of respiratory viruses or surrogates.
1.4This practice is suitable only for air-permeable materials.
1.5This practice does not address the performance of decontaminants against microbes expelled via blood splatter, vomit, or fecal contamination.
1.6This practice should be performed only by those trained in bioaerosols, microbiology, or virology, or combinations thereof.
1.7The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.8This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
