Paints and varnishes - Laboratory method for testing the efficacy of film preservatives in a coating against algae

This European standard specifies a laboratory test method for determining the biocidal/biostatic efficacy of film preservatives in a coating against algal growth. The standard does not apply to coatings not susceptible to algal growth. The test method comprises only film preservation, not the protection of the substrate itself, e.g. wood, which is dealt with in another standard. The test method is applicable 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.

Beschichtungsstoffe - Laborverfahren für die Prüfung der Wirksamkeit von Filmkonservierungsmitteln in einem Beschichtungsstoff gegen Algen

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Labor-Prüfverfahren zum Bestimmen der bioziden/biostatischen Wirksam¬keit von Filmkonservierungsmitteln in einer Beschichtung gegen Algenbewuchs fest. Die Norm gilt nicht für Beschichtungen, die unempfindlich gegen Algenbewuchs sind. Das Prüfverfahren umfasst nur die Konservie¬rung der Beschichtung, nicht den Schutz des Substrates, z. B. Holz. Dieser wird in einer anderen Norm behandelt. Das Prüfverfahren ist anwendbar für Beschichtungen für Holz und mineralische Substrate. Die Norm gilt nicht für Beschichtungen im maritimen Bereich.
Sicherheit, Gesundheit und Umweltaspekte liegen nicht im Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm.
