Title
Standard Test Methods for Ability of Adhesive Films to Support or Resist the Growth of Fungi
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 2001
Scope:
These test methods test the ability of adhesive films to inhibit
or support the growth of selected fungal species growing on agar
plates by providing means of testing the films on two agar
substrates, one which promotes microbial growth, and one which does
not.
These test methods are not appropriate for all adhesives. The
activity of certain biocides may not be demonstrated by these test
methods as a result of irreversible reaction with some of the
medium constituents.
NOTE 1—As an example, quaternary ammonium compounds are
inactivated by agar.
A test method is included for use with low-viscosity adhesives
along with an alternative method for use with mastic-type
adhesives. Also, a method approved by the government is given.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are for information
only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. These test methods are designed to
be used by persons trained in correct microbiological techniques.
Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 7 and in
14.3.2.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
