In the area of human medicine (Working Group 1, i.e. WG 1), it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in areas and situations where disinfection or antisepsis is medically indicated. Such indications occur in patient care — in hospitals, in community medical facilities, dental institutions and medical laboratories for analyses and research, — in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes, — and may also occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as in laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patient. In the veterinary area (WG 2) it is applicable to chemical disinfectants and antiseptics to be used in the areas of breeding, husbandry, veterinary care facilities, production, transport and disposal of animals and veterinary laboratories for analyses and research. It is not applicable to chemical disinfectants used in the food chain following death and entry to the processing industry.

This document is applicable where the criteria for indoor environment are set by human occupancy and where the production or process does not have a major impact on indoor environment. It also specifies occupancy schedules to be used in standard energy calculations and how different categories of criteria for the indoor environment can be used. The criteria in this document can also be used in national calculation methods. This document sets criteria for the indoor environment based on existing standards and reports (listed in Clause 2 and the Bibliography). The document does not specify design methods, but gives input parameters to the design of building envelope, heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting.

This document: — specifies methods for long-term evaluation of the indoor environment obtained as a result of calculations or measurements; — specifies criteria for measurements which can be used if required to measure compliance by inspection; — identifies parameters to be used by monitoring and displaying the indoor environment in existing buildings. This document is applicable where the criteria for indoor environment are set by human occupancy and where the production or process does not have a major impact on indoor environment. It explains how different categories of criteria for the indoor environment can be used.

This document specifies a method for the selective enumeration of bifidobacteria in milk products by using a colony-count technique at 37 °C under anaerobic conditions. The method is applicable to milk products, such as fermented (e.g. yoghurts) and non-fermented milks (e.g. pasteurized milks, skim milks, whey protein concentrates), milk powders and formulae (e.g. infant formulae, follow-up formulae for older infants, products for young children) where these microorganisms are present and viable, in combination with other lactic acid bacteria or alone. The method is also applicable to starter and probiotic cultures. For proposed quality criteria of dairy products, see, for example, CXS 243-2003. Bifidobacteria used in milk products usually belong to the following species (e.g. References [7] and [10]): — Bifidobacterium adolescentis; — B. animalis subsp. animalis; — B. animalis subsp. lactis; — B. bifidum; — B. breve; — B. longum subsp. infantis; — B. longum subsp. longum.
