NZ = No Zone
NI = No Inhibition of Growth under the sample
I = Inhibition of growth under the sample
mm = Zone of inhibition reported in millimeters

The following formula was used to calculate results:

(T - D)/2 = W Where:

T =The total width of the test specimen and the clear zone in mm

D = The width of the test specimen in mm

W = The width of the clear zone of inhibition in mm

Results and conclusions apply only to the test article tested. No further evaluation of these results is made by NAMSA. Any extrapolation of these data to other samples is the responsibility of the sponsor. All procedures were conducted in conformance with good laboratory practice and ISO 17025.
