What is ISO 21265 about?
ISO 21265 specifies a method for the evaluation of the fungal growth on sealants that are used in joints in building construction.
Who is ISO 21265 for?
ISO 21265 on fungal growth on sealant surfaces is useful for:
- Builders
- Civil engineers
- Sealants manufacturers
Why should you use ISO 21265?
Sealants used in high humidity environments experience growth of microorganisms; and it is necessary to test the function of sealant under normal service conditions to ensure that the sealant surface remains free of the growth microorganisms over a designated function period. ISO 21265 provides a test method for the evaluation of fungal growth on sealants.
For the same, ISO 21265 provides you the apparatus requirements used for the test specimen for evaluating fungal growth using fungi strain.
These test methods help you in assessing the fungal growth on sealants to check the traces of fungi which is difficult to remove on sealant joints.
