The test material is exposed in a synthetic medium under standardized laboratory conditions to an inoculum from activated sludge under aerobic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The conditions used in this document do not necessarily correspond to the optimum conditions allowing maximum biodegradation to occur, but this test method is designed to measure the biodegradation of plastic materials and give an indication of their potential biodegradability.<\/p>\n<p>The method enables the assessment of the biodegradation to be improved by calculating a carbon balance (optional, see <span class=\"xref\">Annex&nbsp;C<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>The method applies to the following materials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>natural and\/or synthetic polymers, copolymers or mixtures thereof;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>plastic materials which contain additives such as plasticizers, colorants or other compounds;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>water-soluble polymers;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>materials which, under the test conditions, do not inhibit the microorganisms present in the inoculum. Inhibitory effects can be determined using an inhibition control or by another appropriate method (see, for example, <span class=\"std\"> <span class=\"std-ref\">ISO&nbsp;8192<\/span><\/span> <sup>[<\/sup> <span class=\"xref\"> <sup>1<\/sup><\/span> <sup>]<\/sup>). If the test material is inhibitory to the inoculum, a lower test concentration, another inoculum or a pre-exposed inoculum can be used.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>PDF Catalog<\/h4>\n<table border=\"1px\" class=\"des-table\">\n<tr>\n<th>PDF Pages<\/th>\n<th>PDF Title<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>1<b><\/td>\n<td>New_30440798  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>35<b><\/td>\n<td>A-30408883  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>36<b><\/td>\n<td>National foreword  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>38<b><\/td>\n<td>European foreword  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>40<b><\/td>\n<td>Foreword  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>41<b><\/td>\n<td>Introduction  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>43<b><\/td>\n<td>1 Scope <br \/> 2 Normative references <br \/> 3 Terms and definitions  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>45<b><\/td>\n<td>4 Principle  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>46<b><\/td>\n<td>5 Test environment <br \/> 6 Reagents  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>48<b><\/td>\n<td>7 Apparatus  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>49<b><\/td>\n<td>8 Procedure <br \/> 8.1 Test material <br \/> 8.2 Reference material <br \/> 8.3 Preparation of the inoculum <br \/> 8.3.1 General  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>50<b><\/td>\n<td>8.3.2 Inoculum from wastewater-treatment plants <br \/> 8.4 Test  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>51<b><\/td>\n<td>9 Calculation and expression of results <br \/> 9.1 Calculation <br \/> 9.1.1 Theoretical amount of carbon dioxide evolved by the test material  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>52<b><\/td>\n<td>9.1.2 Percentage biodegradation from CO2 evolution <br \/> 9.2 Expression and interpretation of results  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>53<b><\/td>\n<td>10 Validity of results <br \/> 11 Test report  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>55<b><\/td>\n<td>Annex A (informative) Principle of a system for measuring evolved carbon dioxide (example)  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>56<b><\/td>\n<td>Annex B (informative) Examples of methods for the determination of evolved carbon dioxide  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>58<b><\/td>\n<td>Annex C (informative) Example of the determination of a carbon balance  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>60<b><\/td>\n<td>Annex D (informative) Example of a determination of the amount of water insoluble polymer remaining at the end of a biodegradation test and the molecular mass of the polymer  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>61<b><\/td>\n<td>Bibliography  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Tracked Changes.
