This document specifies methods for determining the deterioration of plastics due to the action of fungi and bacteria and soil microorganisms. The aim is not to determine the biodegradability of plastics or the deterioration of natural fibre composites.
The type and extent of deterioration can be determined by
a) visual examination and/or
b) changes in mass and/or
c) changes in other physical properties.
The tests are applicable to all plastics that have an even surface and that can thus be easily cleaned. The exceptions are porous materials, such as plastic foams.
This document uses the same test fungi as IEC 60068-2-10. The IEC method, which uses so-called "assembled specimens", calls for inoculation of the specimens with a spore suspension, incubation of the inoculated specimens and assessment of the fungal growth as well as any physical attack on the specimens.
The volume of testing and the test strains used depend on the application envisaged for the plastic.

ISO 21528-2:2017 specifies a method for the enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae. It is applicable to - products intended for human consumption and the feeding of animals, and - environmental samples in the area of primary production, food production and food handling. This technique is intended to be used when the number of colonies sought is expected to be more than 100 per millilitre or per gram of the test sample. The most probable number (MPN) technique, as included in ISO 21528‑1, is generally used when the number sought is expected to be below 100 per millilitre or per gram of test sample.

ISO 21528-1:2017 specifies a method, with enrichment, for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae. It is applicable to - products intended for human consumption and the feeding of animals, and - environmental samples in the area of primary production, food production and food handling. This method is applicable - when the microorganisms sought are expected to need resuscitation by enrichment, and - when the number sought is expected to be below 100 per millilitre or per gram of test sample. A limitation on the applicability of ISO 21528-1:2017 is imposed by the susceptibility of the method to a large degree of variability (see Clause 11). NOTE Enumeration can be carried out by calculation of the most probable number (MPN) after incubation in liquid medium. See Annex A.

This CEN Report is designed to give a view of CEN Standards activity containing microbiological aspects. It takes the form of a register of work items. The register includes current work items and published Standards from TCs which are working on standards containing microbiological aspects. The information in this register was produced on February 2001.
The intended audience of this Report is those people working in Standardization who have an interest in microbiological aspects. It will be particularly useful for those people working on a subject with microbiological aspects, who wish to co-ordinate their efforts and therefore avoid duplication of work. In particular, this report is intended to assist in the evolution of common terms and definitions in standards that involve microbiological aspects.
The register is not exhaustive. There may be other CEN TCs with microbiological aspects but these are not known at the time of writing this CEN Report.
Not all the information is available for all the work items listed.

This CEN Report reviews the safety criteria for hosts, vectors, inserts and genetically modified microorganisms (GMM’s) used by the competent authorities of Member States of the European Union to classify GMM's as intrinsically safe, i.e. as Group I GMM’s. The report may assist both users and regulatory authorities in classifying GMM’s, including mammalian and plant cells, as safe for human health and the environment.
This CEN Report covers Group I GMM’s that are applied in research and development activities and those applied in industrial applications, which are frequently activities on a larger scale. Although most of the information available relates to GMM’s that are to be used for research and development, the safety criteria for GMM’s to be used for the latter kind of activities show much overlap. No listings of hosts and vectors are given, because such lists are readily available and are inevitably incomplete due to the continuous addition of newly classified biological agents.
