AATCC 30 Test 2* |
Antifungal activity, assessment on textile materials: Mildew and Rot resistance of Textile materials Test-II ? Agar Plate, Chaetomium globosum This test is used for evaluating rot resistance of cellulose containing textile materials that will not come in contact with soil. |
AATCC 30 Test 3* |
Antifungal activity, assessment on textile materials: Mildew and Rot resistance of Textile materials Test-III ? Agar Plate, Aspergillus niger This test evaluates the growth of Aspergillus niger on textile specimens. The textile specimens are kept on the surface of an inoculated agar plate and incubation is carried out for 7 days. |
AATCC 30 Test 4 |
Antifungal activity, assessment on textiles materials: Mildew and Rot Resistance of Textile materials Test ?IV ? Humidity Jar, Mixed spore suspension The test determines the fungistatic effectiveness of treatments intended to control mildew and non-pathogenic fungal growth on articles or surfaces composed of textile materials intended for outdoor and above ground level use and which are usually water-proofed. |

Textiles – Determination of antibacterial activity of antibacterial finished products This test method is a quantitative determination (Absorption Method) of the antibacterial activity of antibacterial finished textile products. |
ASTM E 2149* |
Determination of the Antimicrobial Activity of Immobilized Antimicrobial Agents Under Dynamic Contact Conditions The ASTM E2149 test method is designed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of non-leaching antimicrobials treated specimens under dynamic contact conditions. This test method ensures good contact between the bacteria and the treated specimen by constant agitation of the test specimen in a challenge suspension during the test period. |
ASTM G 21 |
Standard Practice for Determining Resistance of Synthetic Polymeric Materials to Fungi This test method determines the effect of fungi on the properties of synthetic polymeric materials in the form of molded and fabricated articles, tubes, rods, sheets and film materials. |
In-house Test Method |
Evaluation of Bacterial Filtration Efficiency of Medical textiles This test method is a quantitative method to measure the bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) of medical face masks materials employing a ratio of the upstream bacterial challenge to downstream residual concentration. |
IS 1622 & IS 5403* |
Microbiological Examination of Water*
|
IS 1389 |
Methods for testing cotton fabrics for resistance to attack by microorganism by Humidity Chamber Method The humidity chamber method is intended for determining qualitatively the susceptibility of the fabric to the growth of microorganisms associated with attack on cellulose. |
