EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 16000-21 testing. ISO 16000-21 specifies requirements for mold sampling from building materials. Following the given instructions, samples are taken for microscopy or later for mold detection by cultivation according to ISO 16000-17.
Mold spores are widely dispersed outdoors and therefore occur in varying concentrations indoors as well. However, mold growth in indoor environments should be considered as a hygienic problem because epidemiological studies have revealed that moisture or mold growth in homes is closely related to health problems affecting building occupants.
Harmonized methods for sampling, detecting and numbering molds, including standards for sampling strategies, are important for the comparative assessment of mold problems in indoor areas. Before taking any measurement, a plan for the measurement strategy should be made.
All reagents and chemicals shall be of quality recognized as "for microbiology" or better. The water used will be distilled or of equivalent quality.
The use of commercially available dehydrated substrates is encouraged, provided they comply with the descriptions provided. These dehydrated substrates should be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. Agar plates or flexible plastic strips containing agar medium are also commercially available for surface sampling.
