IS 19165 : 2025/ISO 22196 : 2011 Measurement of Antibacterial Activity on Plastics and other Non-porous Surfaces

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical to ISO 22196 : 2011 'Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Methods of Sampling and Test for Plastics Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
