Sets out a method for assessing causes of deterioration in assembled equipments due to mould growth, whether or not constructed from mould-resistant materials, by the application of a selected test using the required severity and assessing the mould growth after the required period of incubation with respect to any physical damage or functional deterioration. It is identical with and reproduced from IEC 68-2-10:1988.
