22、sentially altered after a soil burial test. lhe resistance to deterioration is assessed by measuring the relative reduction in tensile strength between buried and unburied specimens. If an assessment of long term resistance is required, the procedure described in IS0 11721-2 (in preparation) is appl

23、icable. Due to the biological nature of the soil burial test, and the fact that the test soil cannot be precisely standardized, this standard is only intended to assess the resistance of a fabric to microorganisms after comparing the performance of specimens with and without a finish.

24、IS0 LL72L-L-ENGL 2OOL W Lb24667 0877L57 627 W Page 5 EN IS0 1 1721 -1 2001 1 Scope This standard specifies a method for determination of the resistance of chemically-pretreated textiles to the action of microorganisms present in soil in comparison with untreated textiles. This method is applicable t

25、o flat textiles made of cellulosic-containing yarns (tentage, tarpaulins, webbing and tapes) that will typically come into contact with soil during use. Due to the inherent resistance of most synthetic fibres to attack by microorganisms, fabrics containing a high proportion of synthetic fibres can o

26、nly be judged by these methods for changes in structure and appearance. Although this method allows good reproducibility of results, it is intended to show comparative performance rather than provide absolute values. NOTE Heavy tarpaulin fabrics and webbing may be of such a structure that samples wi

27、thout finish are resistant within a 14 days soil burial period. Also in such cases the decay rate of the untreated sample determines the length of the burial period. 2 Normative references This International Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. The

28、se normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this International Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For

31、ions which promote mould and bacterial growth. Any safety precautions and personal hygiene for microbiological examinations shall be followed (e.9. IS0 7218). 4 Principle Cellulose-containing textiles are considered resistant to attack by microorganisms present in soil if their structure, appearance

32、 and tensile strength remain essentially unaltered during a soil burial test. This method compares the relative reduction in tensile strength of specimens before and after soil burial. The method is used to compare finished and unfinished specimens of the same quality. The specimens are buried in a

33、test soil of controlled water-holding capacity and optimum water content for microbial activity. The finished and unfinished specimens are buried for a period of up to nine days, Page 6 EN IS0 11 721 -1 :2001 when the specimens without a finish show a reduction in tensile strength of approximately 8

34、0 %. At this stage the tensile strength loss of the finished and unfinished specimens are determined. The limitation of the soil burial test to a maximum nine days for the unfinished specimens to lose 80 % of their initial tensile strength serves as validation of the microbial activity of the test s

35、oil and the test system. NOTE 1 The duration of the test will vary depending on the activity of the soil. It is important to note that the reduction in strength between specimens with and without an applied finish is the critical factor, and not the duration of the test. A soil of lower activity wil

36、l produce the same result as one of higher activity, but the test will take longer. NOTE 2 A fixed-time soil burial test may allow an undefined attack on the cellulosic material. The reproducibility of results for reduction of tensile strength of finished and unfinished test specimens is the critica

37、l factor. 5 Apparatus and reagents 5.1 150 mm deep. Containers, of unglazed pottery or reinforced cement (asbestos substitute materials), at least Containers with more than 150 mm filling height shall have holes at the base for exchange of air. 5.2 Test soil, commercial grade compost or compost-cont

38、aining garden soil as purchased in the manufacturers original packing may be used. Fresh compost shall be mixed with compost previously used for soil burial testing or with soil previously acclimatized at equilibrium moisture to (95 to 99) % relative humidity and thoroughly mixed before use. The tes

39、t soil shall be sufficient to fill all the containers used in a series of tests, and shall be fine- grained, free-flowing and not sticky or lumpy. The water-holding capacity (WHC) (or maximum moisture retention capacity) of the test soil shall be determined and the water content (WC) shall be (60 f

40、5) % of the WHC. The pH of the test soil shall be between 4,O and 7,5. Prepare the test soil of known WHC for moisture content determination before commencing the test. If the soil is too moist, let it air dry. If the soil is too dry, overspray it to a WC of (60 * 5) % of the WHC. NOTE 1 See annex A

41、 for a suitable method. NOTE 2 60 % of WHC guarantees best microbial activity and optimum water activity for microbial growth. The water content necessary for one soil is therefore always prescribed as approximately 60 % of WHC of the sample. Lower humidity slows down or prevents rotting; higher hum

42、idity may lead to unevenness of results and anaerobic processes. NOTE 3 insufficient moisture distribution. Soil blends with high clay or loam contents are unsuitable because of low air permeability and 5.3 relative humidity of the air at (29 f 1) OC. Incubator, for incubation of the soil burial con

For fabrics that are too narrow to allow the specified specimen width, carry out the test at full fabri

For determination of the soil burial duration, .e. time at which there is an 80 % reduction in strength in the control specimens without applied finish, prepare at least 20 control specimens of the unfinished test sample.
