4 Principle
The test and control specimens of footwear are inoculated with a mixed spore suspension of selected
mould test strains or with a single test strain according to the specific claim.
Antifungal performance is qualitatively determined by visual assessment of fungal growth after
specified or agreed incubation period.
5 Safety
Handling of microorganisms that are potentially hazardous requires a high degree of technical
competence and can be subject to current national legislation and regulations. Only personnel trained
in microbiological techniques should carry out such tests.
