What is BS EN 15458 - Algae resistance test for film preservatives about?
BS EN 15458 specifies a laboratory test method for determining the biocidal or biostatic efficacy of single active substances or combinations thereof used in film preservatives of coatings against algal growth.
BS EN 15458 covers only active substances for film preservation, not the substrate itself, e.g. wood, which is dealt with in another standard. BS EN 15458 is applicable for active substances used for wood protection and masonry coatings.
Note 1: BS EN 15458 does not apply to coatings unsusceptible to algal growth.
Note 2: BS EN 15458 does not apply to marine coatings.
Note 3: Safety, health and environmental aspects are not in the scope of BS EN 15458 .
Note 4: Determination of the performance of film preservatives in coatings by applying ageing procedures is not within the scope of BS EN 15458 .
