This Part of BS 1982 describes two methods of test for the determination of the resistance of panel products to the growth of surface mould or mildew.
The methods are applicable in particular to building materials required to present a decorative finish including particleboard, plywood and plasterboard.
Method L is applicable to situations where the material is exposed to high humidity conditions but without wetting from liquid water (low moisture) and method H is applicable to situations where the material is exposed to direct wetting (high moisture) for prolonged periods.
The tests described are also applicable to products that have received a preservative treatment.
