Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic continues to plunge the world into waves of a potentially deadly disease caused by multiple strains of the SARS-CoV‑2 virus. A well-known effective method of non-specific prevention of the spread of respiratory viral infections in the Russian Federation is air disinfection using ultraviolet (UV) germicidal irradiation. Today, in medical institutions the application of this technology bases on domestic guidelines developed without taking into account the characteristics of new viruses, new knowledges and technologies in the field of UV radiation generation. A number of new standards have been issued abroad, significantly deepening the knowledge and capabilities in the development and application of UV disinfection devices. This article provides an overview of new standards, highlights the provisions that are appropriate for harmonization with Russian rules and recommendations for the use of UV radiation. The article shows: the necessity of updating the Russian regulatory framework in the field of application of UV disinfection technology, the development of new or revision of existing documents by the bodies of the sanitary and epidemiological service of the Russian Federation in cooperation with competent technical organizations and specialists.

UV - C消毒领域新标准分析

冠状病毒大流行继续使世界陷入由多种SARS-CoV - 2病毒株引起的潜在致命疾病的浪潮中。在俄罗斯联邦，一种众所周知的非特异性预防呼吸道病毒感染传播的有效方法是使用紫外线杀菌照射进行空气消毒。今天，在医疗机构中，这项技术的应用是根据国内准则制定的，没有考虑到新病毒的特点、紫外线辐射产生领域的新知识和新技术。国外颁布了多项新标准，大大深化了紫外线消毒装置开发和应用的知识和能力。本文概述了新标准，强调了与俄罗斯使用紫外线辐射的规则和建议相协调的适当规定。该条款表明:有必要更新俄罗斯在紫外线消毒技术应用领域的监管框架，俄罗斯联邦卫生和流行病服务机构与主管技术组织和专家合作制定新的或修订现有文件。
