This Standard describes the procedure to be adopted for determining the resistance of paper, paperboard and articles manufactured therefrom, to surface-growing fungi on a mineral salts/agar medium. This is an accelerated test suitable for the rapid screening of fungal inhibitors or for comparing the resistance of materials containing fungicides, to fungal growth.
This Standard provides a laboratory test which is intended to provide severe, standardized assessment of fungal resistance under laboratory conditions. It does not include the testing of papers and paper products in the field which, although possibly more severe, is much longer in duration, subject to uncontrolled variables and likely to give unreliable observations.
