Method for Determining the Basic Efficacy of Biocidal Active Substances used in Aqueous- Based Paints
IBRG P16-001.04
This document describes a method for determining the basic efficacy of biocidal active substances in aqueous based paints and is intended for the generation of data to enable registration of active substances.
Issue 2: Addition of Gram Positive bacterium to challenge consortium and harmonisation of statistical procedure with other methods.
Issue 3: Minor typographical corrections and update of Culture Collection numbers.
Issue 4: Changes to the inoculum (the addition of a filamentous fungi), inclusion of a method to determine growth of the filamentous fungi and editing to align the method with other IBRG methods.

Quantitative Method for Evaluating Bactericidal Activity of Textiles and Porous Materials and Articles
IBRG TEX13-005.05
This document describes a method to determine the basic antibacterial properties of textiles and porous materials and articles treated with a biocide with the intension of introducing disinfectant / hygienic properties. Samples are inoculated with defined suspensions of microorganisms and then incubated. The changes in the size of the populations both over time and on treated compared with untreated materials are used to describe the basic antimicrobial properties of the materials. The results obtained may not describe the performance of the treated materials under normal conditions of use. Changes in v1.03 Typographical corrections.
