Purpose and Scope
This test method provides a quantitative procedure for the evaluation
of the degree of
antibacterial activity. Assessment of antibacterial finishes on
textile materials is determined by
the degree of antibacterial activity intended in the use of such
materials. If only bacteriostatic
activity (inhibition of multiplication) is intended, a qualitative
procedure which clearly
demonstrates antibacterial activity as contrasted with lack of such
activity by an untreated
specimen may be acceptable. However, if bactericidal activity is
intended or implied, quantitative
evaluation is necessary. Quantitative evaluation also provides a
clearer picture for possible uses
of such treated textile materials.
