Such indications occur in patient care, for example:- in hospitals, in community medical facilities and in dental institutions;- in clinics of schools, of kindergartens and of nursing homes.and may occur in the workplace and in the home. It may also include services such as laundries and kitchens supplying products directly for the patient.EN 14885 specifies in detail the relationship of the various tests to one another and to “use recommendations”.NOTE This method corresponds to a phase 2, step 2 test.
