This document specifies a method for determining the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions by gravimetric measurement of the amount of carbon dioxide evolved. The method is designed to yield an optimum rate of biodegradation by adjusting the humidity, aeration and temperature of the composting vessel.
The method applies to the following materials:
natural and/or synthetic polymers and copolymers, and mixtures of these;
plastic materials that contain additives such as plasticizers or colorants;
water-soluble polymers;
materials that, under the test conditions, do not inhibit the activity of microorganisms present in the inoculum.
NOTE            If the test material inhibits microorganisms in the inoculum, another type of mature compost or pre-exposure compost can be used.

This document establishes a model-free approach for the isoconversional kinetic analysis of chemical reactions and phase transitions. The isoconversional principle is based on the assumption that the reaction rate at a given conversion depends solely on the temperature, i.e. is independent on the scan rate. This document establishes a method for the determination of the activation energy as a function of the conversion of the reaction or transition. The method is applicable to dynamic and isothermal temperature program measurements done by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) or thermogravimetry (TG). It can be applicable to other measurement techniques, too, that enable the determination of conversion curves. The method is applicable to the prediction of the kinetic behaviour of reactions and transitions even in temperature regions that are not experimentally accessible. The method is not applicable in the glassy state of polymers.

This document specifies a method of measuring smoke production from the exposed surface of specimens of materials or composites. It is applicable to specimens that have an essentially flat surface and do not exceed 25 mm in thickness when placed in a horizontal orientation and subjected to specified levels of thermal irradiance in a closed cabinet with or without the application of a pilot flame. This method of test is applicable to all plastics.
It is intended that the values of optical density determined by this test be taken as specific to the specimen or assembly material in the form and thickness tested and are not to be considered inherent, fundamental properties.
The test is intended primarily for use in research and development and fire safety engineering in buildings, trains, ships, etc. and not as a basis for ratings for building codes or other purposes. No basis is provided for predicting the density of smoke that can be generated by the materials upon exposure to heat and flame under other (actual) exposure conditions. This test procedure excludes the effect of irritants on the eye.
NOTE            This test procedure addresses the loss of visibility due to smoke density, which generally is not related to irritancy potency (see Annex E).
It is emphasized that smoke production from a material varies according to the irradiance level to which the specimen is exposed. The results yielded from the method specified in this document are based on exposure to the specific irradiance levels of 25 kW/m2 and 50 kW/m2.

This document establishes the terms, definitions, methodologies and calculations that are necessary for the recovery and recycling of waste from plastic products and materials labelled as industrially compostable through organic recycling. It identifies the different types of organic recycling technologies used in the recovery and subsequent recycling of industrially compostable plastics waste arising from pre-consumer and post-consumer sources. It also establishes the requirements and calculations to be considered in evaluating organic recycling inputs and outputs and determining output classifications for the recycling operation and the downstream integration points. This document also outlines general quality requirements to be applied in all steps of the recovery process, and provides general recommendations for inclusion in material standards, test standards and product specifications. The process stages, requirements, recommendations and terminology presented in this document are intended to be of general applicability. This document does not establish test methods and criteria for the definition of the organic recyclability (e.g. compostability) of plastic materials and products. This document refers to plastic waste deriving from products that have been classified as suitable for recovery through organic recycling by the relevant reference standards (e.g. ISO 17088, ISO 18606), and therefore labelled as industrially compostable. These products are generally called “industrially compostable” (e.g. compostable bag, compostable tableware) meaning “suitable for organic recycling”, independently of the treatment technology used for recycling (whether it is composting, or a combination of anaerobic digestion and composting, or only anaerobic digestion). This document does not address home composting because this gardening practice cannot be classified as recycling.

This document provides characteristics and typical values for polystyrene (PS) recyclates intended for groups of defined applications (the product families).
The characteristics and typical values for the different product families are derived from the performance requirements of the products belonging to that family, including requirements for product manufacturing processes where applicable.
This document applies to plastic recyclates intended to be used for the manufacturing of (intermediate) products.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with part 1 of this standard series, which describes the designation system for plastic recyclates. The designation system allows comparison between recycled and virgin material at the level of the polymer’s defined designatory properties.
NOTE 1   Examples of designations of plastic recyclates are given in Annex A.
NOTE 2   The selection of relevant properties for a product family is based on EN ISO 10350 1, extended with specific properties related to plastic recyclates.
