1.1 本试验方法包括测定新绝缘材料及其表面抵抗真菌生长的能力。 1.2 以英寸-磅单位表示的数值视为标准值。括号中给出的值是数学转换为SI单位，仅供参考，不被视为标准单位。 1.3 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。 1.4 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====== 2.1 绝缘产品制造中使用的材料类型以及这些产品表面使用的薄膜类型有时会影响真菌在高湿度条件下的生存。 2.2 本试验方法用于测定绝缘材料及其饰面在有利于其生长的条件下抵抗真菌生长的相对能力。 2.3 本试验方法使用比较材料来确定材料抵抗真菌生长的相对能力。在一些专业产品领域，要求没有增长。在这种情况下，省略了比较材料的使用，通过/不通过标准基于增长。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the ability of new insulation materials and their facings to resist fungal growth. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.3 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. 1.4 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 ====== 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.
