About This Item
ASTM E2613 is a technical standard that describes a practice for determining the fungus-eliminating effectiveness of hygienic handwash and handrub agents using the fingerpads of adults. It is designed to help evaluate how well these products perform under controlled test conditions and supports more consistent product assessment. For manufacturers, laboratories, and quality teams, this standard matters because it provides a structured approach for comparing antimicrobial hand hygiene products in a way that is relevant to real-world use.
What is ASTM E2613?
ASTM E2613 is an ASTM standard practice focused on test methods for measuring the fungus-eliminating effectiveness of hygienic handwash and handrub agents. The standard centers on the use of adult fingerpads as the test site, which suggests a human-subject-based evaluation intended to assess product performance on skin. As a standards document, it helps define a repeatable framework for testing rather than a product formula. ASTM E2613 is therefore useful as a reference for controlled performance evaluation and technical consistency.
Where is ASTM E2613 used?
This standard is commonly used in laboratories and product testing programs that evaluate hygienic handwash and handrub agents. It is relevant wherever fungus-eliminating performance needs to be assessed in a controlled, documented way, such as during product development, comparative testing, or quality verification. ASTM E2613 may also support procurement or compliance review when buyers need a recognized technical basis for performance claims. Its focus on adult fingerpads makes it especially aligned with skin-contact hygiene product evaluation.
Why is ASTM E2613 important?
ASTM E2613 helps bring consistency to the evaluation of antifungal hand hygiene products. By using a recognized practice, organizations can support more reliable testing, clearer comparisons, and better-informed product decisions. It may also help reduce ambiguity in product claims by providing a common technical reference for performance assessment. For teams involved in compliance, quality control, or product selection, ASTM E2613 offers a practical way to align testing with an established ASTM framework.
