ISO 22196:2011 is an international standard that specifies a method for measuring the antibacterial activity of plastics and other non-porous surfaces. The full title of the standard is ISO 22196:2011 - Plastics — Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces.

ISO 22196:2011 provides a standardized method for determining the antibacterial activity of plastics and non-porous surfaces. By measuring the reduction in bacterial growth after exposure to the material, this standard helps evaluate the effectiveness of materials in reducing bacterial contamination in applications such as healthcare, food processing, and consumer goods. The test results are crucial for ensuring that products with antibacterial claims meet performance requirements and provide the desired level of protection in environments where hygiene is a top priority.
