Plastics — Determination of the degree of disintegration of plastic materials under simulated composting conditions in a laboratory-scale test

Plastiques — Détermination du degré de désintégration de matériaux plastiques dans des conditions de compostage simulées lors d'un essai de laboratoire

This edition has been replaced by ISO 20200:2023.

Abstract / scope

ISO 20200:2015 specifies a method of determining the degree of disintegration of plastic materials when exposed to a laboratory-scale composting environment. The method is not applicable to the determination of the biodegradability of plastic materials under composting conditions. Further testing is necessary to be able to claim compostability.
