Scope of ISO 21326:2019
ISO 21326:2019 testing at Airmid Healthgroup assesses textile treatments for effectiveness against house dust mites
The ISO 21326:2019 standard specifies laboratory methods for assessing the efficacy of chemically or physically treated textile products designed to protect against house dust mites (HDM). This internationally recognized standard helps verify whether treated textiles can effectively reduce or inhibit mite survival under controlled test conditions.
Description of the Test
This method evaluates the impact of chemical or physical treatments on house dust mite activity and survival. The approach to counting live mites depends on the form and structure of the sample—whether it is flat fabric, filled material, or other textile construction.
By simulating realistic conditions in Airmid Healthgroup’s state-of-the-art environmental testing chambers, our scientists can accurately measure how well treated textiles prevent the growth or persistence of dust mites, one of the most significant indoor allergens associated with asthma and allergy symptoms.
