ISO 21716 provides a compilation and description of in vitro bioassay methods that can be useful for the toxicological screening of anti-fouling paints. Toxicological screening tests included in each part of ISO 21716 can be used for such purposes as early decision-making in research and product development, rapid feedback on potential toxicological concerns, or for the preliminary assessment of anti-fouling paints. ISO 21716 provides screening bioassays related to certain common genera of fouling organisms, namely barnacles, mussels and algae.

These screening tests are relatively simple and rapid laboratory tests that can be performed to provide an indication of toxicity of a painted surface towards selected test organisms. The screening tests described in each part of 21716 can be used as part of a tiered approach to predict the ability of an anti-fouling coating to prevent fouling on ships. Alternatively, to prevent the translocation of invasive marine species by progressively involving subsequent semi-field (e.g. raft panels) and field testing (e.g. ship trials). On their own, the screening tests described in each part of 21716 do not reliably predict the ability of an anti-fouling coating to prevent fouling on ships or prevent the translocation of invasive marine species. These screening tests should not be used in pesticidal or biocidal product registration schemes or for any other regulatory or administrative purpose.

This part of ISO 21716 describes general requirements for preparing and aging panels coated with anti-fouling paint when used in conjunction with other parts of ISO 21716 to perform laboratory bioassay screening tests against specified organisms. This part of ISO 21716 is applicable to all anti-fouling paints that prevent or deter the attachment and growth of sessile organisms on a surface through chemical or biological means.

This part of ISO 21716 is not applicable to the following:

— coatings that deter or prevent fouling solely by physical means such as biocide-free foul release paints;

— anti-fouling methods used for controlling harmful marine organisms and pathogenic organisms in ships' ballast water and sediments according to the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004.

This part of ISO 21716 describes a laboratory test method for screening anti-fouling paints in a flow-through system using barnacle cyprid larvae as the test organism. Cyprids of barnacle species Amphibalanus amphitrite are recommended. Other barnacle species may be used if Amphibalanus amphitrite is not available. The purpose of the test is to determine if there is a difference in barnacle settlement on painted test panels compared with barnacle settlement on inert non-toxic control panels under the conditions of the test. Statistical treatments may be applied to determine if the difference in barnacle settlement is statistically significant.

This part of ISO 21716 describes a laboratory test method for screening anti-fouling paints in a flow-through system using mussels as the test organism. Young mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, are recommended. Other mussel species may be used if Mytilus galloprovincialis is not available. The purpose of the test is to determine if there is a difference in mussel settlement on painted test panels compared with mussel settlement on inert non-toxic control panels under the conditions of the test.

This document specifies requirements and gives reference to the test methods defined for fire dampers, which are intended to be installed in general Heating and Ventilating (HVAC) installations in buildings. All fire dampers close automatically in response to raised temperatures indicating fire. This document gives details for the provision of evaluation of conformity and marking of fire dampers. Fire dampers meeting the requirements of this document may be considered suitable for both ducted and non-ducted applications. This document applies to fire dampers with a declared specific fire resistance (Mandate M/117) that are to be used in conjunction with partitions to maintain fire compartments. This document is not applicable to fire dampers that may be used in applications where the presence of process chemicals may affect fire damper performances. This document is not applicable to non-mechanical fire barriers nor to air transfer grilles. To avoid duplication, reference is made to a variety of other standards. To this end, it is advised to read this document in conjunction with EN 1366-2 for details of the fire resistance testing and EN 13501-3 for classification.
