Overview of ISO 18061 test
ISO 18061:2014 is an international standard that outlines a testing method to assess the antiviral activity of materials containing photocatalytic components or featuring photocatalytic films on their surfaces.
Scope
Fine ceramics – Determination of the antiviral activity of semiconducting photocatalytic materials.
Products that can be tested
This assessment applies to products containing photocatalytic materials or those coated with photocatalytic films, specifically in flat sheet, board, or plate formats.
Description of ISO 18061 test
The testing method quantitatively evaluates the antiviral activity of photocatalytic materials by exposing the test samples to a specific virus for 2-8 hours under UV light at a defined intensity.
Each test is conducted in triplicate for both treated and untreated materials, assessed under UV light and in the dark. While the protocol is designed for the bacteriophage Q-beta, it can be adapted for other biosafety level 2 viruses and bacteriophages.
Third Party Validation
Upon successful completion of the test, the product can be certified by Airmid to ISO 18061:2014, supporting any related claims based on the test results.
