18、58:2014 (E) 4 Introduction This document identifies criteria to assess the efficacy of film preservatives in a coating against algae. The results of the method allow evaluation of an active substance with regard to its inclusion in Annex I of the Biocidal Products Directive 98/8/EC (Directive 98/8/E
19、C of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 1998 concerning the placing of biocidal products on the market BPD) or in the list of the Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012). The characteristics of the biocide treated coating material should conform to national
20、 regulations with regard to health, safety and the environment. BS EN 15458:2014EN 15458:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a laboratory test method for determining the biocidal/biostatic efficacy of single active substances or combinations thereof used in film preservatives in a co
21、ating against algal growth. The standard does not apply to coatings not susceptible to algal growth. The test method comprises only active substances for film preservation, not the protection of the substrate itself, e.g. wood, which is dealt with in another standard. The test method is applicable f
22、or active substances used for wood and masonry coatings. It is not applicable to marine coatings. Safety, health and environmental aspects are not in the scope of this standard. Determination of the performance of film preservatives in coatings by applying ageing procedures is not within the scope o
23、f this standard. 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 references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (in
24、cluding any amendments) applies. EN 12469, Biotechnology - Performance criteria for microbiological safety cabinets EN 23270, Paints and varnishes and their raw materials - Temperatures and humidities for conditioning and testing (ISO 3270) EN ISO 1513, Paints and varnishes - Examination and prepara
25、tion of test samples (ISO 1513) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following term and definition applies. 3.1 active substance substance or micro-organism that has an action on or against harmful organisms SOURCE: Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012
26、), Article 3.1 (c), modified the article “a“ between “or“ and “micro-organism“ was deleted 4 Principle For the determination of the algicidal efficacy of film preservatives in a coating, the coating material is applied to a substrate, conditioned according to EN 23270, placed onto an agar surface, i
27、noculated with a standard algal suspension and incubated over a certain period of time under conditions appropriate for algal growth. Conclusions can be drawn with regard to the algicidal efficacy of the film preservatives in a coating from the intensity of the algal growth on the coated surface of
28、the specimen after incubation. The method described in this standard is a semiquantitative, comparative method between coatings with and without film preservatives. 5 Apparatus and materials 5.1 Cutting device for preparing the specimens (coated filter paper, with a diameter of 55 mm). 5.2 Autoclave

BS EN 15458:2014EN 15458:2014 (E) 7 Coat a strip of filter paper without biocidal effect with the coating material/system to be tested. The application rate shall be that
36、recommended by the coating manufacturer for normal use. 7.3 Conditioning of the test samples Condition the test samples in a horizontal position for at least 5 days at (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity, in accordance with EN 23270. NOTE The conditioning time might vary according to the coating
37、 material and end use corresponding to information given by the manufacturer. 7.4 Preparation and number of specimens After conditioning, three specimens, each of a diameter of 55 mm shall be prepared from the test samples. The specimens shall be sealed in a plastics bag and sterilized using gamma r
38、adiation of 10 kGy. Other methods of sterilization may be agreed upon between the parties. For each test series, three specimens coated with coating material containing the film preservative, three specimens coated with the same coating material without film preservative and three specimens of the u
39、ncoated substrate shall be tested. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of Bolds Basal Medium 3)For the algal nutritive solution the following substances are required: a) 10 ml each of stock solutions a) to f) in 8.2; b) 1 ml each of trace element stock solutions g) to j) in 8.2; c) 940 ml demineralized or d
40、istilled water; d) 15 g agar (only for the solid nutritive medium). The solution shall be sterilized in the autoclave. For the test both solid (with 1,5 % agar) and also liquid nutritive medium are required. 8.2 Preparation of the stock solutions Stock solutions: a) NaNO310,0 g Distilled water 400 m

Anacystis montana) CCAP 1430/1, Klebsormidium flaccidum SAG 335-5, Stichococcus bacillaris SAG 379-1a = CCAP 379/1A) sub-cultures shall be prepared on agar slants for use as stock cultures.
43、The incubation takes place at room temperature and under illumination, using a cycle of 16 h illumination and 8 h darkness. Fluorescent tubes of the type daylight or white light shall be used, at a distance of about 50 cm at about (1 000 200) lx. Alternatively, Bolds Basal Medium (according to 8.1)
44、without agar can be used to prepare liquid cultures. NOTE 1 From experience it is known that the stock cultures will have grown in about 2 weeks to such an extent that sub-cultures can be prepared from them. Sufficient stock cultures should always be kept in reserve. Sub-cultures: From the stock cul
45、tures sub-cultures shall be prepared in conical flasks containing liquid nutritive medium, followed by incubation as described above. NOTE 2 Experience shows that these sub-cultures will have grown after 7 days to 14 days, to such an extent that they can be used further. Cultures with filamentous al
46、gae can be shaken up somewhat more frequently, to loosen and disintegrate the filaments. 8.5 Preparation of the algal suspension Before starting the tests, 200 ml of an actively-growing, ready-to-use individual algal culture shall be mixed with 200 ml of sterile algal nutrient solution. These two co
47、mponents shall be mixed thoroughly, but without introducing contamination, so as to disperse cells and break-up filaments. The resulting suspension should be slightly coloured and contain approximately 106cfu/ml4). To obtain a mixture of different algal species for test use, combine the required ind
48、ividual algal cultures with sterile algal nutrient solution in the above proportions (e.g. two different test species will require 2 200 ml algal suspension plus 2 200 ml sterile algal nutrient solution = 800 ml total). 4)cfu = colony forming units.

In a safety cabinet the sterilized specimens shall be placed centrally onto the solid algal nutritive medium in the Petri dishes. The coated surface of the specimen shall be face up and there shall be full contact without air bubbles between the specimen and the surface of the culture medium. Coat the specimens with a layer (1 mm thick) of the algal su
