Biological testing of textiles
NA 062-05-42 AA "Biological testing of textiles" develops, evaluates and reviews methods for determining the colonisability and the resulting alteration of a textile. The colonisation of the textile by insects, mites, fungi, bacteria and algae is considered. Likewise, methods are developed and tested which make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of protective agents and protective processes for maintaining the properties and functions of a textile. NA 062-05-42 AA is the national mirror committee (SpA) for the above topics in ISO/TC 38 "Textiles" and CEN/TC 248 "Textiles and textile products".
