Sets out the general considerations (including health and safety) in the selection of an appropriate fungal test.

This Part of BS 1982 sets out general considerations to be taken into account in the selection of test methods for the assessment of fungal resistance of panel products, made of or containing materials of organic origin, in a variety of hazard situations.

The term “panel product” is used to include materials variously known or described as board or sheet materials, building boards, composite boards, rigid sheet materials, etc. It includes not only wood-based panel products such as plywood, particleboards and fibre building boards, but also products made of or containing other ligno-cellulosic fibres such as bagasse, flax and straw. BS 6100-4.3 and BS 4261 give guidance on terminology.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
