8、ards Committee. It supersedes BS2893:1957, which is withdrawn. The chemical preparations usually contain biocidal ingredients, colouring and wetting agents and may contain re-odourizing agents for masking odours and are intended to be used in one or more of the following types of closet: a) non-flus

9、hing closets; b) flushing closets of the non-recirculating type; c) flushing closets of the recirculating type; including those complying with BS2081, except for closets used on board aircraft. The main changes introduced in this revision are: 1) the biological efficacy of the preparations is specif

10、ied in terms of performance rather than compositional requirements; 2) the attributes that cannot be specified objectively have been transferred toAppendix A. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for the

11、ir correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages1 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover. This standard has been updated (see

12、 copyright date) and may have had amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the inside front cover.BS2893:1989 BSI 09-1999 1 1 Scope This British Standard specifies performance requirements for chemical preparations for use in portable and transportable chemical close

13、ts, except for closets used in aircraft. NOTEThe titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the definitions listed in BS5283 apply, together with the following. 2.1 product the chemical preparation as

14、marketed by the manufacturer or supplier NOTEChemical preparations are hereafter referred to as “the product” 2.2 prime dilution the highest recommended concentration when first charging the chemical closet with product and water NOTEThis is often referred to as prime charge. 2.3 maximum dilution th

15、e minimum concentration of the product recommended by the supplier NOTEThe maximum dilution is normally expressed in relation to maximum working capacity of a closet 3 Antimicrobial value The product at60% of its maximum dilution shall have an antimicrobial value at least equivalent to a0.6 g/L solu

16、tion of formaldehyde, i.e. shall pass the test described inAppendix B. 4 Colour stability The colour of the preparation at maximum dilution shall not discolour or break down after being kept for72 1h at pH3 0.5 and at pH11 0.5, when tested in accordance with the method described inAppendix C. 5 Stab

17、ility before dilution Two separate samples of the preparation, after standing for three months at5 2 C and30 2 C respectively, shall still meet all the requirements of this standard. The samples under examination shall be stored in the original, sealed and unopened retail containers. The samples sha

18、ll be stored so that they are not exposed to direct sunlight or to localized overheating. 6 Stability after dilution Solutions of the product at prime dilution and at maximum dilution in both deionized water and standard hard water shall not break up or separate when left standing for72 1h at5 2 C a

19、nd at30 2 C when tested in accordance with the method described inAppendix D. 7 Flash point A prime dilution of the product shall have a flashpoint not lower than65 C, when tested by the method described in BS2000-34. NOTEThe test procedure need not be completed if the flashpoint has not been reache

20、d at65 C. 8 Compatibility with closet materials The product shall not cause any perceivable deterioration of the materials of construction of those types of closet complying with BS2081 for which the supplier recommends the product when tested in accordance with the method described inAppendix E. 9

21、Marking and labelling The retail container of the product shall be marked with, or shall have attached to it a label bearing the following: a) full details of the type(s) of closet for which use of the product is recommended; b) instructions for safe handling of the product (including an instruction

22、 not to mix with other chemicals) and for safe and environmentally acceptable procedures for discharging the mixture of diluted product and soil from the closet; c) instructions for preparing the prime dilution and information on the maximum dilution recommended by the supplier and its relationship

23、to maximum working capacity of the closet; d) instructions for safe storage of the product; e) the number and date of this British Standard, i.e. BS2893:1988 1) . 1) Marking BS2893:1988 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers or suppliers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by

24、or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the responsibility of the person making the claim. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certification of conformity, which may also be desirabl

25、e.BS2893:1989 2 BSI 09-1999 Appendix A Recommendations for properties of the product that cannot be specified objectively A.1 Introduction This appendix describes properties that should be present in the product but that are not specified objectively. Inclusion of corresponding requirements in claus

26、e3 would therefore not result in a specification with which compliance could with confidence be claimed, challenged or determined. Suppliers should normally ensure that their products possess these properties to the necessary degree and should formulate the products accordingly on the basis of exper

27、ience and users views. A.2 Colour A.2.1 The product should contain sufficient colour, preferably blue or green shades, to mask organic waste and indicate a chemically charged toilet. A.2.2 In the case of products recommended for use in non-flushing closets without a covered waste container, the prod

28、uct even at maximum dilution should contain sufficient colouring matter to obscure from sight submerged excreta and paper. A.2.3 In the case of products recommended for use in flushing closets of the recirculating type, the diluted product should contain sufficient colouring matter, or alternatively

29、 decolourizing material, to ensure that the flush is always of an acceptable appearance. A.3 Odour The diluted product should be free from objectionable odour. A.4 Deodorant or reodorant action The diluted product should remove or mask malodours rapidly and effectively from human excreta and leave a

30、n acceptable level of odour in the closet. A.5 Gas prevention The diluted product should prevent the release of obnoxious or explosive gases from human excreta. A.6 Effects on skin and mucous membranes In the case of products recommended for use in non-flushing toilets without covered waste containe

31、rs, the diluted product should be non-injurious to the skin and mucous membranes. A.7 Cleansing The composition of the diluted product should facilitate rinsing out of the waste container after emptying. A.8 Period of effectiveness In use, the diluted product, if not further dilute and if all the so

32、lid material is fully submerged, should retain effectively the properties described inA.2 toA.7 inclusive for at least3 days at temperatures of5 2 C and30 20 C. Appendix B Method of test for antimicrobial value B.1 Principle A challenge culture is mixed with a fixed amount of yeast suspension. This

33、mixture constitutes a challenge medium which is then added in a specified amount to a specific dilution of the product under test; further additions are made after24h and48h. After contact times of24h, 48h and72h, aliquot portions are taken and placed in tubes containing inactivator. After5min, aliq

34、uot portions are taken from these tubes and placed in five replicate tubes of recovery broth and are incubated at37 C for48h and then examined for growth. The procedure is repeated using a fixed amount of formaldehyde solution in place of the solution under test, as a check. NOTE 1The overall result

35、 is determined using information obtained for product contact times of24h and48h only. This method makes reference to a product contact time of72h and the procedure relating to this contact time may be omitted. However, operators often find it useful to apply the method, as described, especially as

36、contact times of24h, 48h and72h apply for the formaldehyde test dilution. NOTE 2This method is based on that described in BS6905 but differs with regard to contact times and comparison of product performance with that of a solution of0.6 g/L formaldehyde. Operators may find it useful to read BS6905.

37、 B.2 Sterilization Reagents, media, materials and apparatus shall be sterilized by being kept at either: a) 170 C to 175 C for not less than1h in an oven (dry sterilization 2) ); or b) 121 1 C for not less than15min in an autoclave (wet sterilization).
