The obligatory contact time by the test method differs based on product application or can be chosen based on manufacturer’s recommendation.
- General disinfection: 30 minutes
- Teat disinfection: 5 minutes (post-milking) or 30 seconds (pre-milking)
The obligatory test temperature by the test method is 10°C for general disinfection or 30°C for teat disinfection.

These are the available soiling conditions according to the test method.
For general disinfection:
- Low level soiling: 3.0 g/L bovine serum albumin
- High level soiling: 10.0 g/L bovine serum albumin + 10.0 g/L yeast extract
For teat disinfection:
- 10.0 g/L reconstituted skimmed milk
