Comprehensive Guide to ASTM E2180 Antimicrobial Activity of Preservative Systems Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ASTM E2180 is a widely recognized standard for evaluating the antimicrobial activity of preservative systems in various products, including plastics, paints, and coatings. This standard is developed and maintained by ASTM International (formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials) through its Technical Committee on Antimicrobial Activity.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards are relevant to ASTM E2180:

  • ISO 22196:2011 (Plastics -- Evaluation of antimicrobial activity using a disc diffusion method)

  • EN ISO 20743:2008 (Paints and varnishes -- Determination of the efficacy of antimicrobial preservatives)

  • TSE 8086-2:2013 (Plastics -- Evaluation of antimicrobial activity)

  • ASTM E2180-12 (Standard Test Method for Antimicrobial Activity of Preservative Systems in Plastics, Paints, and Coatings)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    ASTM International is a not-for-profit organization that develops and maintains standards across various industries. The Technical Committee on Antimicrobial Activity, responsible for developing ASTM E2180, consists of experts from various fields, including microbiology, chemistry, and materials science.

    Evolution and Updates of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect new technologies, research findings, or regulatory requirements. ASTM International regularly updates standards through a consensus-based process involving stakeholders from industry, academia, and government.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with relevant standards is essential for industries that use antimicrobial preservatives in their products. Failure to comply can result in product recalls, reputational damage, or legal issues. Industries requiring compliance include:

  • Plastics manufacturing

  • Paints and coatings production

  • Adhesives and sealants industry

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    The specific test requirements for ASTM E2180 are as follows:

    1. Test Purpose: Evaluate the antimicrobial activity of preservative systems in plastics, paints, and coatings.

    2. Sample Preparation: Prepare test samples according to the standards specifications.

    3. Testing Conditions: Conduct testing under controlled conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.).

    4. Measurement and Analysis: Measure and analyze the growth of microorganisms on the test samples.

    Test Conditions and Methodology

    The following are the detailed step-by-step procedures for conducting ASTM E2180:

    1. Sample Preparation: Prepare test samples according to the standards specifications.

    2. Testing Equipment and Instruments: Use testing equipment and instruments as specified in the standard (e.g., microbial growth monitoring system).

    3. Testing Environment: Conduct testing under controlled conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.).

    4. Measurement and Analysis: Measure and analyze the growth of microorganisms on the test samples.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    The following are the requirements for reporting and documenting test results:

    1. Report Format: Report test results in a format specified by the standard.

    2. Interpretation of Results: Interpret test results according to the standards guidelines.

    3. Certification and Accreditation: Ensure that testing is performed by an accredited laboratory.

    Why This Test Should Be Performed

    Performing ASTM E2180 testing provides numerous benefits, including:

    1. Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Identify potential antimicrobial resistance issues early on.
