MOULD/FUNGUS

 TEL:01934-644866

We test equipment, materials, components or products for their resistance to mould under various conditions. We can test to any published standard or to your specifications. Some of which are shown below [click here].

UKAS accreditation see schedule in Accreditation section

 

BACTERIA

Plastic                        ASTM G22-76:1980 Method A&B Resistance to bacteria

                                 ASTM G22-76:1996 Method A&B Resistance to bacteria

For more general information on moulds see the bottom of this page

Mould Identification

At JCST we are able to identify and enumerate fungi and yeast when collected on swabs, in dust samples or bulk materials. We can generally provide results to genus level. To achieve this the samples need to be plated out so incubation period can range from 7 to 14 days.

Shelf life testing

The shelf life test looks at how long a product will last within set conditions before micro-organism growth occurs. This enables suppliers to confidently set their use by dates
