This document specifies the general requirements of the apparatus and the procedures for using the test methods described.
This document is not suitable for the assessment of disintegration caused by heat or light exposure.
The described field test is a disintegration test and not a biodegradation test. Therefore, it cannot be used for demonstrating biodegradation or for making unqualified claims such as âbiodegradable in marine environmentâ and similar.
