Standard Test Method for Determining Fungi Resistance of Insulation Materials and Facings

Importancia y uso:

2.1 The type of materials used in the manufacture of insulation products and the type of membrane used to face these products can sometimes affect fungi sustenance in the presence of high humidity.

2.2 This test method is used to determine the relative ability of an insulation and its facing to resist fungal growth under conditions favorable for their development.

2.3 This test method uses a comparative material to determine the relative ability of a material to resist fungal growth. In some specialized product areas, it is required that no growth take place. In such cases, the use of the comparative material is omitted and the pass/fail criterion is based upon growth.
