Rationale

High humidity regions throughout the world have issues with persistent bacterial and fungal contamination in bathrooms. This method is intended to test the bacterial and fungal inhibition properties of vapor products under simulated field conditions using testing temperature and humidity controlled chambers. This practice is written to simulate the conditions of a typical bathroom containing a sink, toilet, bathtub, and shower, as applicable for the product use site. However, this practice may also be used in locations other than bathrooms with a chamber configuration (size, contents, etc.) modified for other high humidity and high ambient temperature locations desired by the investigator.
