ASTM D7855 Test for Detection of Mold Growth on Coated Building Products Designed for Interior Applications

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ASTM D7855 testing. This test method covers an environmental chamber and operating conditions to evaluate over a 4-week period the relative resistance to mold growth and microbial surface degradation in coated building products designed for interior applications using an indirect inoculation method. The device is designed so that any interested party can easily create or obtain it.

ASTM D7855 Test for Detection of Mold Growth on Coated Building Products Designed for Interior Applications

An accelerated test to determine the resistance of interior coated building products to mold growth is useful in estimating the relative performance for use in indoor environments under conditions favorable to fungal growth.

Static or environmental chambers provide controlled laboratory microenvironment conditions. These chambers are not intended to replicate chamber conditions and caution should be used when interpreting the results. Static rooms are not a substitute for dynamic rooms or field work.

This test method can be used to evaluate the comparative resistance of coated building products to accelerated mold growth. Ratings do not imply a specific period of time during which the coated building product will be free from fungal growth during indoor installation.

The test method is designed for accelerated evaluation of mold growth on a coated building product intended for indoor use. This method is not intended for evaluation of surfaces designed for exterior applications or uncoated surfaces. The use of this test method to evaluate external performance has not been validated, nor have limitations for such use been established.

This standard does not purport to address all safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
