1.1 本试验方法涵盖了侵蚀控制产品（ECP）对种子发芽和植被增强效果的评估指南、要求和程序。 1.2 该试验方法将评估轧制侵蚀控制产品（RECP）和液压应用侵蚀控制产品对受控环境中种子发芽的影响。 1.3 该试验方法采用了台架试验程序，不应被解释为现场性能的指示。 1.4 该测试方法不旨在取代全尺寸模拟或现场测试，以获取利用RECP和HECP设计侵蚀控制措施所需的性能值。 1.5 以国际单位制或英寸表示的数值- 磅单位应单独视为标准单位。每个系统中规定的值可能不是完全相等的；因此，每个系统应独立使用。将两个系统的值合并可能导致不符合标准。 1.6 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者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。 1.7 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 该试验方法评估ECP在受控环境中对种子发芽和植物初始生长的影响。 5.2 该试验的结果可用于比较ECP和其他侵蚀控制材料，以确定哪种材料在促进植被生长方面最有效。

1.1 This test method covers guidelines, requirements, and procedures for evaluating the effect of Erosion Control Products (ECPs) on seed germination and vegetation enhancement. 1.2 This test method will evaluate the effects of both rolled erosion control products (RECPs) and hydraulically-applied erosion control products (HECPs) on seed germination in a controlled environment. 1.3 This test method utilizes bench-scale testing procedures and shall not be interpreted as indicative of field performance. 1.4 This test method is not intended to replace full-scale simulation or field testing in acquisition of performance values that are required in the design of erosion control measures utilizing RECPs and HECPs. 1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. 1.6 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. 1.7 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 ====== 5.1 This test method evaluates the effect of an ECP on seed germination and initial plant growth in a controlled environment. 5.2 The results of this test can be used to compare ECPs and other erosion control materials to determine which are the most effective at encouraging the growth of vegetation.
