BS EN 16492:2014EN 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 disf
17、igurements caused by blue stain in service 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 indisp
18、ensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

19、 of defects, and of intensity of uniform 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 necess
20、ary) 5 Preparation The test specimen shall 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 with
21、out wiping, washing or removing any loose 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 su
22、rface. 6 Procedure Carry out the assessment 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) an
23、d taken into consideration when evaluating 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 di
24、rt or soil particles that have accumulated on the test specimen shall be reported separately in the test report. BS EN 16492:2014EN 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 per
25、centage area (in accordance with Table 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 s
26、hall contain at least the following 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
27、-site; d) statement whether the growth 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
28、carried out; h) any deviation from the test procedure described; i) any unusual features (anomalies) observed during the evaluation; j) date(s) of the test.
