11、rights reserved iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a su
12、bject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (
13、IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical commi
14、ttees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not b

BS ISO 27448:2009ISO 27448:2009(E) iv ISO 2009 All rights reservedIntroduction Under the illumination of ultraviolet (UV) light, photocatalysts show diverse func
16、tions, such as the decomposition of air and water contaminants, as well as deodorization, self-cleaning, antifogging and antibacterial actions. These functions of photocatalysts are generally based on the action of active oxygen species such as hydroxyl (OH) radicals formed on the surface of photoca
17、talysts. The energy- and labour-saving nature of photocatalysis has attracted keen interest when the photocatalyst is activated by sunlight (or artificial lighting). Practical applications of photocatalysts, for both indoor and outdoor use, have rapidly expanded in recent years. Many kinds of photoc
18、atalytic materials have been proposed or are already commercialized, based on ceramics, glass, concrete, plastics, paper, etc. Such materials are produced by either coating or mixing of a photocatalyst, in most cases, titanium dioxide (TiO2). However, the effect of photocatalysis is not easily inspe
19、cted visually, and no appropriate and official evaluation methods have been available to date. Some confusion has thus arisen as photocatalytic products have been introduced. Furthermore, the above-mentioned diverse functions of photocatalysts cannot be evaluated with a single method; thus, differen
20、t evaluation methods are provided for self-cleaning, water decontamination, air purification and anti-bacterial actions, respectively. As a result of continuing efforts to provide test methods for photocatalytic materials, this International Standard (covering the measurement of the water contact an
21、gle) for self-cleaning performance was prepared. For permeable, rough, or highly hydrophobic surfaces, etc., other test methods are required and are being developed. It must be noted that self-cleaning performance could be evaluated with photo-induced hydrophylic property and photocatalytic decompos
22、ition ability, because many field test results concerning the self-cleaning properties of TiO2-coated materials are in good agreement with the indexes obtained by measurement of the water contact angle and degradation of methylene blue.

This International Standard sp
24、ecifies a test method for the determination of the self-cleaning performance of materials that contain a photocatalyst or have photocatalytic films on the surface, and which are usually made from semiconducting metal oxides such as titanium dioxide. This method is used to measure the water contact a
25、ngle under illumination with ultraviolet light, which is one of the indices influencing the self-cleaning performance of photocatalytic materials. This International Standard does not include water-permeable substrates, rough surfaces which do not have exposed water droplets, highly hydrophobic, pow
26、der or granular materials, or visible light-sensitive photocatalysts. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

37、r the development, comparison, quality assurance, characterization, reliability, and design data generation of photocatalytic materials. This International Standard defines the test method, which provides a performance correlated with the contamination that occurred during the exposure test. This te
38、st method is to evaluate the self-cleaning performance of a photocatalytic material by obtaining the final contact angle of a test piece on which organic substances are applied. The organic substance is first applied to a test piece (pretreatment), which is then irradiated by UV at a constant intens
39、ity. The water contact angle after n h can be measured during the process. This test simultaneously evaluates the decomposition of the organic substance and change of water affiliation. When the pretreatment of a certain test piece is impossible and the initial contact angle before UV irradiation is
40、 20 or greater, the final contact angle can be obtained without pretreatment. 6 Apparatus 6.1 Black light fluorescent lamp The fluorescent UV lamp shall be a black light blue (BLB) lamp with a peak wavelength of 351 nm and blue glass for absorbing visible light. 6.2 Ultraviolet irradiator The equipm
41、ent shall provide uniform irradiation from the lamp to the test piece and the irradiation intensity shall be adjustable by moving the position of the lamp or test piece. 6.3 Ultraviolet light radiometer The irradiation intensity shall be measurable at the test sample position. The photoelectric sens
42、or shall have good cosine characteristics. The irradiation-measuring instrument shall be calibrated with the light source to be used, or corrected to a certain sensitivity within the wavelength range to be absorbed by the photocatalytic test piece. 6.4 Contact angle meter The instrument shall have a
43、 measurement range of 0 to 180, a readout accuracy of 0,1 and a measurement accuracy of 1.

Use caution not to contaminate the test piece with organic substances or other test pieces. It is recommended to obtain test pieces from the p

If it is impossible to cut a product into 100 mm 2 mm square pieces, then the test piece may
47、 have a different shape or size, as long as its shape and size allow the measurement of the contact angle at five different points. Test pieces shall be prepared in quantities of five. 10 Procedure 10.1 Pretreatment of test piece 10.1.1 Procedure of pretreatment The following procedure shall be used
48、 for pretreatment of the test piece. When the test pieces are not used immediately after this pretreatment, store them in a sealed container. This pretreatment can be omitted if it is impossible to apply oleic acid and if the contact angle before pretreatment is not less than 20. In the case of a te

The dark field test shall be performed in accordance with the same procedure as that in 10.2.3 and 10.2.4 by taking the number of test pieces as five, except for the procedure of performing UV irradiation.
