Scope

This test covers the inoculation of assembled specimens with a selection of mould spores followed by a period of incubation under conditions which promote spore germination and the growth of mould. Two variations of the test are given. Variant 1 specifies direct inoculation of the specimen with the mould spores whereas variant 2 specifies the pre-conditioning of the test specimen with nutrients which support mould growth.
