DIN EN 16492:2014-09 EN 16492:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a procedure for the evaluation of the degree of surface disfigurement caused by fungi and algae on coatings. This European Standard is not applicable for evaluating disfigurements caused by blue stain in servic
19、e on and in wood surfaces. A scale for the assessment of blue stain of coated and uncoated wood is specified in EN 152:2011, 8.5.2. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated re
20、ferences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN ISO 4628-1:2003, Paints and varnishes Evaluation of degradation of coatings Designation of quantity and size of defects, and of intensity of uniform
21、changes in appearance Part 1: General introduction and designation system (ISO 4628-1:2003) 3 Principle The degree of fungal or algal growth on coatings is given a numeric rating. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Microscope with a typical magnification of up to 100 (if necessary) 5 Preparation The test specimen shal
22、l be the flat surface of any exposed test panel or cut from a construction panel. In the case of assessment of building facades one or more defined parts of the surface shall be chosen and described in the test report. The test specimen shall be examined without wiping, washing or removing any loose
23、 surface material. For better discrimination between fungi and algae the test surface shall be examined under wet conditions. Dry surfaces shall be wetted by gently spraying with clean water. Care shall be taken not to add any contamination to the specimen surface. 6 Procedure Carry out the assessme
24、nt visually using normal or corrected vision on a defined test surface. Carry out the assessment under good illumination and from a distance less than 1 m. If contamination of dirt soil is suspected, this shall be confirmed by the use of a microscope (4.1) and taken into consideration when evaluatin
25、g the entire surface. Distinguishing dirt from biological disfigurement might be difficult even with the aid of a microscope. To improve precision, the evaluation should be carried out by an experienced operator. Any fungal or algal growth observed only on dirt or soil particles that have accumulate
26、d on the test specimen shall be reported separately in the test report. DIN EN 16492:2014-09 EN 16492:2014 (E) 5 7 Expression of results The numerical ratings for the intensity (in accordance with Table A.1), the quantity (in accordance with Table A.2) and the percentage area (in accordance with Tab
27、le A.3) of disfigurements caused by fungal or algal growth shall be expressed as indicated in the following examples: fungal growth: intensity 1, quantity 3, percentage area 2 algal growth: intensity 2, quantity 1, percentage area 1 8 Test report The test report shall contain at least the following
28、information: a) all details necessary to identify the product tested; b) reference to this European Standard (EN 16492:2014); c) type and origin of the test specimen and its exposure conditions, including whether the inspection is carried out in a laboratory or on-site; d) statement whether the grow
29、th observed is either fungal or algal; e) numerical contamination rating in accordance with Clause 7; f) any presence of dirt/soiling; g) if any growth is observed on dirt or soil only, including an information whether any magnification to inspect the surface was carried out; h) any deviation from t
30、he test procedure described; i) any unusual features (anomalies) observed during the evaluation; j) date(s) of the test. DIN EN 16492:2014-09 EN 16492:2014 (E) 6 Annex A (normative) Assessment according to EN ISO 4628-1 A.1 Designation of intensity of disfigurements according to EN ISO 4628-1:2003,
31、3.4 The intensity of changes in the appearance of the coating (e.g. colour changes) caused by fungal or algal growth shall be expressed using Table A.1: Table A.1 Rating scheme for designating the intensity of visible growth Rating Intensity of visible growth 0 1 2 3 4 5 unchanged, i.e. no visible g
32、rowth very slight, i.e. just visible growth slight, i.e. clearly visible growth moderate, i.e. very clearly visible growth considerable, i.e. pronounced visible growth very marked visible growth A.2 Designation of the quantity of disfigurements according to EN ISO 4628-1:2003, 3.2 The quantity (numb
33、er) of disfigurements caused by fungal or algal growth shall be expressed using Table A.2: Table A.2 Rating scheme for designating the quantity of disfigurements Rating Quantity of disfigurements 0 1 2 3 4 5 none, i.e. no detectable disfigurements very few, i.e. small, barely significant number of d
34、isfigurements few, i.e. small but significant number of disfigurements moderate number of disfigurements considerable number of disfigurements dense pattern of disfigurements / homogeneous disfigurement A.3 Designation of the percentage area of disfigurements The percentage area of disfigurements ca
35、used by fungal or algal growth shall be expressed using Table A.3: Table A.3 Rating scheme for designating the percentage area of disfigurements Rating Percentage area of disfigurements 0 1 2 3 4 no growth on the surface of the specimen up to 10 % growth on the surface of the specimen more than 10 %
36、 up to 30 % growth on the surface of the specimen more than 30 % up to 50 % growth on the surface of the specimen more than 50 % up to 100 % growth on the surface of the specimen DIN EN 16492:2014-09 EN 16492:2014 (E) 7 Bibliography EN 152:2011, Wood preservatives - Determination of the protective e
