Historical Standard: ASTM D3456-86(2002) Standard Practice for Determining by Exterior Exposure Tests the Susceptibility of Paint Films to Microbiological Attack
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D3456
1. Scope
1.1 This practice provides guidelines for determining the susceptibility of paint films to microbiological attack on exterior exposure. While it is recognized that various organisms may occur on an exposed coating, the specific types of organisms are mainly of academic interest. The degree to which microbiological discoloration occurs is the primary concern.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
