Specification of Disinfectants and Antiseptics for Ships

1. Disinfectants

The disinfectant shall conform to the following specification :

(1)General description. - The disinfectant shall be a white fluid and shall be a finally dispersed, stabilized emulsion containing coal-tar acid or other phenolic bodies, with or without hydrocarbons.

(2)Germicidal value and the method of its determination. - The germicidal value shall be not less than 1.7 when determined by the modified Chick-Martin method as laid down by the British Standards Specification No. 808 of 1938.

(3)Stability before dilution. - On standing for three months at ordinary temperatures (5°C to 30°C) the disinfectant fluid shall not precipitate nor show separation of more than traces of oil. A creamed fluid which can be rendered homogeneous by gentle mixing is permissible.

(4)Stability after dilution. - The disinfectant fluid shall be miscible with distilled water and artificial seawater [27 grammes of sodium chloride and 5 grammes of crystalline magnesium sulphate (Mg SO4 7H2O) dissolved in and made up to 1,000 ml. with distilled water and filtered before use] in all proportions from one to five per cent., inclusive, to give a stable emulsion which shall not break nor show more than traces of separation of either top or bottom oil, when maintained at 18-22°C for six hours. When examining the disinfectant under this sub-paragraph, the sample and diluent shall each be brought to the specified temperatures before mixing, which shall be performed by pouring the former into the latter from a cylinder.

(5)Odour and corrosive action. - The fluid shall be free from objectionable smell and, when used as directed, shall have no more corrosive action on metals than that occasioned by the water employed as a diluent.

(6)Packaging, where no container is specified on the tender form, the fluid shall be packaged in containers capable of being stored under normal conditions for six months without deleterious interaction between the fluid and the container.

(7)Labelling. - The containers shall be labelled to show the name and nature of the contents and with full instructions for use for various purposes. The dilutions recommended in the instructions shall be suitable for the purposes specified. The labels shall be rendered resistant to moisture either by the use of an efficient label varnish which must cover the label and overlap the edges or by some alternative method the effect of which is not inferior to varnishing.

2. ANTISEPTICS

The antiseptic shall conform to the following specification :-

(1)General description. - The antiseptic shall consist of a homogeneous solution or emulsion of a phenol, chlorocresol, p-chloro-m-xylenol or any other germicidal substance that may be approved by the Central Government, dissolved in a suitable solvent.

(2)Germicidal value. - The germicidal value shall be not less than 3 when determined by the Rideal Walker method as laid down by the British Standards specification No. 541 of 1934.

(3)Stability of dilution. - The antiseptic shall not show any separation after six hours when mixed, in all proportion from one to four per cent., inclusive, in waters of all degrees of hardness up to the equivalent of 300 parts calcium carbonate per million. These mixtures shall not break or precipitate in less than 6 hours at 22°C and 37°C.

(4)labelling. - The containers shall be labelled to show the name and nature of the contents and with full instructions for use for various purposes. The dilutions recommended in the instructions shall be suitable for the purposes specified. The labels shall be rendered resistant to moisture either by the use of an efficient label varnish which must cover the label and overlap the edges or by some alternative method the effect of which is not inferior to varnishing.Appendix 'B'Specification of Anti-V.D.

(2)The DDT and gamma BHC used for the formulation of the products must contain not less than 70 per cent of the p-p-isomer and not less than 90 per cent of the pure gamma isomer, respectively.Appendix 'D'Specification of oxygen therapy equipment for use on Board Ships

6. The above equipment shall be contained in a hardwood carrying case including simple instructions in use of equipment.

Appendix 'E'Specification of chloride of lime for the treatment of drinking water in ship

1. The chloride of time shall contain not less than 24 per cent and not more than 26 per cent available chlorine. It shall also contain not less than 14 per cent of free quick lime (caO).

2. The total water existing in all forms, consisting largely if not entirely, of the water in combination in the form of calcium hydroxide, shall not exceed 7.5 per cent.

3. The chloride of lime shall be of such stability that after passing four weeks in an oven kept at 60°C (+_ 1°C) the percentage of available chlorine shall not decrease more than 2.

4. The chloride of lime shall be put up in 100 g. tins, the date of issue by the manufacturer being stamped on the base of each tin.

5. Each tin shall contain a measure, made of a material resistant to chlorine, to contain 5 g. of the powder, when full, i.e., sufficient to chlorinate approximately 1136 litres of water.

6. Each tin and contents (except the measure, which may be used again) whether partially used or not, shall be renewed within one year following the date stamped on the tin.
