ANSI-HSI 2000-2023 Healthcare UV Germicidal Light Whole-Room Surface Disinfection
This standard is intended to provide healthcare professionals charged with infection prevention/control with a reproducible patient-centric tool to evaluate the plethora of germicidal Ultraviolet "C" (UVC) offerings. Specific criteria will be enumerated including details of the test room (both patient rooms and operating rooms) dimensions, furnishings/contents, surface types and orientations, site locations, pathogens (prep & assay), log reductions and time requirements, as well as "passing" criteria. There are no current standards nor efforts for standards for UVC emitters in healthcare.
