1.1 本规程旨在描述使用无菌拭子收集表面样本的程序。 1.2 本规程的目的是帮助现场调查人员区分真菌材料和非真菌材料，如磨损、烟尘沉积物、污渍、颜料、灰尘、风化、粘合剂、灰尘和水渍。 1.3 本规程不涉及建筑物居住者暴露或居住者健康风险。 1.4 本规程收集的样品适用于培养、直接显微镜和生化分析或其组合。 1.5 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。 本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.6 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本规程提供了使用无菌拭子收集表面材料的程序。 4.2 根据本规程采集的拭子样本旨在用于评估表面上的真菌物质。 4.3 从具有定义尺寸的区域收集的拭子样本可用于量化单位面积的真菌材料或进行定性分析。 4.4 从关注点收集的拭子样本可用于定性分析或量化每个样本的真菌物质。 4.5 根据本规程采集的拭子样本可通过直接显微镜、培养或生化分析进行分析。

1.1 The purpose of this practice is to describe the procedures for collection of surface samples using sterile swabs. 1.2 The purpose of this practice is to support the field investigator in differentiating fungal materials from non-fungal material such as scuffs, soot deposits, stains, pigments, dust, efflorescence, adhesives, dust, and water stains. 1.3 This practice does not address building occupant exposures, or occupant health risks. 1.4 The samples collected by this practice are appropriate for culture, direct microscopy, and biochemical analysis, or combination thereof. 1.5 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This practice provides a procedure for collecting surface material using a sterile swab. 4.2 A swab sample collected according to this practice is intended to be used to assess fungal material on surfaces. 4.3 A swab sample collected from an area with defined dimensions can be used to quantify fungal material per unit area or for qualitative analysis. 4.4 A swab sample collected from point(s) of interest can be used for qualitative analysis or to quantify fungal material per sample. 4.5 A swab sample collected according to this practice can be analyzed by direct microscopy, culture, or biochemical analysis.
