23、 and shall be submitted to test method B. 3.3 Unless specified in the technical specification, the following details shall be stated: type of sampling; method to be used (A or B); period of exposure; extent of acceptable mould growth; preliminary cleaning (if applicable); initial measurements (if ap

24、plicable); final measurements and requirements (if applicable). 4 Test preparation 4.1 Mould cultures The following cultures (Table 1) shall be used to carry out the test. The nature of the attack to be expected from each culture is indicated, but all strains shall be used together, whatever the nat

28、hey are suitable for the test. 4.1.1 The cultures shall be supplied as spores, on an agar medium, in glass containers with cotton plugs, or as otherwise considered appropriate by the mycological institute. 4.1.2 The cultures shall be stored in a refrigerator at a temperature between 5 C and 10 C. Th

29、e cultures used for preparing the test suspension shall be preferably between 14 d and 21 d old. In no case shall cultures which are less than 14 d or more than 28 d old be used. The stoppers shall not be removed until the suspension is about to be made, and only one suspension shall be made from th

30、e opened container. A fresh, unopened container shall be used for each preparation of a suspension. 4.2 Preparation of spore suspension 4.2.1 The suspension shall be prepared in deionized water to which has been added 0,05 % of a non-fungicidal wetting agent. An agent based on N-methyl or on dioctyl

31、 sodium sulphosuccinate may be accepted. 4.2.2 10 ml of the water with wetting agent shall be poured gently into each tube. A platinum or a nichrome wire shall be sterilized by heating to red heat in a flame and allowed to cool. This wire shall then be used to scrape gently the surface of the cultur

32、e to liberate spores. The liquid shall be slightly agitated to disperse the spores without detaching mycelial fragments. The suspension shall then be decanted into a flask. 4.2.3 All eight suspensions shall be shaken vigorously together in a flask to mix thoroughly and to break up any clumps of spor

33、es. 4.2.4 The suspension shall be used on the day of its preparation, and shall not be stored for future use. 4.3 Preparation of the nutrient solution It shall consist of a solution of the following materials in distilled water. The quantities are amounts per litre of water. Modified Czapek-Dox nutr

34、ient solution with saccharose The solution shall be sterilized in an autoclave at115 C for 30 min. The pH solution shall then be measured and adjusted, if necessary, by addition of a 0,01 N sodium hydroxide solution to obtain a pH between 6,0 and 6,5 after sterilization. 4.4 Control strips They shal

35、l be made of white filter paper which has not been exposed to any fungicidal treatment. They shall be placed in glass dishes and covered with the nutrient solution (see 4.3). They shall be removed from this solution and allowed to drain immediately before use. The strips shall be prepared on the day

36、 the test commences. A freshly prepared nutrient solution shall be used for preparing each group of control strips. These strips shall be sprayed with the same suspension as that used for the specimens. 5 Method These tests shall only be carried out by approved laboratories. All specimens, reference

37、 specimens and a group of three control strips shall be put in separate containers. All containers shall be placed together in the same test chamber. The specimens and control strips shall be placed in the chamber within 15min after spraying with spores. They shall not be unduly disturbed during the

38、 test, except for opening container lids and the chamber door each week. The test chamber used shall maintain a temperature between 28C and 30C. Any periodic variation in temperature due to action of the thermostat shall not exceed 1C/h. Each specimen and control strip shall be put in a glass or pla

39、stic container (e.g. a Petri dish) with a lid. The container shall permanently contain water to maintain a relative humidity greater than 90 % inside. The specimens shall not be immersed or splashed by the water. The container lid shall be removed for a few seconds once per week to ensure a regular

40、supply of oxygen in the air to the growing moulds. Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KH 2 PO 4 ) 0,7 g Potassium monohydrogen orthophosphate (K 2 HPO 4 ) 0,3 g Magnesium sulphate (Mg SO 4 7H 2 O) 0,5 g Sodium nitrate (NaNO 4 ) 0,2 g Potassium chloride (KCl) 0,5 g Ferrous sulphate (FeSO 4 7H 2 O)

41、0,01 g Saccharose 30 gEN2591-306:1998 BSI 04-1999 5 The first opening shall be 7 d after spraying. If no mould growth is visible on any control strip, the test shall be considered invalid and shall be repeated. 5.1 Initial measurements (if applicable) They shall be carried out as specified. If mould

42、 growth on the control strips indicates that the conditions are suitable and the moulds viable, the test shall continue for the time specified. If the chamber, or a container, becomes contaminated and must be cleaned, the preferred method is to heat it in a moisture saturated atmosphere at 120C for

43、1 h. Where heating is not possible, dry the chamber or the container and fumigate it with propylene oxide, finally washing it with water containing a detergent and ventilating it well to remove all oxide fumes. 5.2 Procedure 5.2.1 Method A Expose the specimens to the suspensions which shall be suppl

44、ied with a medium containing no assimilable carbon. Mould growth can only take place to the detriment of the specimen component materials. If there are no edible materials, spores can not develop and there will be no attack. The period of exposure shall be one of the following: 28 d: assessment of t

45、he mould growth by a single visual examination; 84 d: in addition to assessment of the mould growth, assessment of the damage due to mould growth by the specified measurements. If 84 d exposure is specified, two groups of specimens shall be required: first group: specimens; second group: reference s

46、pecimens for damp heat test. The temperature and relative humidity conditions shall be identical for both tests, (mould growth and damp heat). 5.2.1.1 Sprayings Sprayings shall be done with pipettes or spray guns depending on the nature of the spray, but with identical characteristics. The nozzle, i

47、n particular, shall be large enough not to be blocked by fragments of mycelium. 5.2.1.2 Specimens (28 d or 84 d) They shall be sprayed with the suspension according to4. 5.2.2 Method B Expose the specimens to the specified suspensions deposited on a nutrient medium allowing mould to grow previously

48、applied to them. Even if the specimens do not have any nutrient elements, mould growth may progress as well as the action of the products of their metabolism. The period of exposure (28 d or 84 d) shall be specified. Regardless of the period of exposure, mould growth shall be assessed by visual exam

49、ination and the damage to specimens by measurements. Three groups of specimens are required: first group: specimens; second group: reference specimens for damp heat test; third group: laboratory reference specimens which shall not be exposed to any test and to be used as reference for visual examination. The periods of exposure, the temperature and relative humidity conditions for the first group exposed to the mould growth test and the second group exposed to the damp heat tes
