Plastics - Determination of the degree of disintegration of plastic materials under simulated composting conditions in a laboratory-scale test (ISO 20200:2015)
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.
Kunststoffe - Bestimmung des Zersetzungsgrades von Kunststoffmaterialien unter nachgebildeten Kompostierungsbedingungen mittels einer Prüfung im Labormaßstab (ISO 20200:2015)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Zersetzungsgrades von Kunststoff-materialien fest, die im Labormaßstab einer Kompostierungsumgebung ausgesetzt sind. Das Verfahren gilt nicht für die Bestimmung der biologischen Abbaubarkeit von Kunststoffen unter Kompostierbedingungen. Um die Kompostierbarkeit zu bescheinigen, ist weiteres Prüfen notwendig.
Plastiques - Détermination du degré de désintégration de matériaux plastiques dans des conditions de compostage simulées lors d'un essai de laboratoire (ISO 20200:2015)
ISO 20200:2015 spécifie une méthode de détermination du degré de désintégration de matériaux plastiques exposés à un environnement de compostage en laboratoire. La méthode ne s'applique pas à la détermination de la biodégradabilité des matériaux plastiques dans des conditions de compostage. D'autres essais seront nécessaires pour pouvoir revendiquer la compostabilité.
Polimerni materiali - Ugotavljanje razpada polimernih materialov pri simuliranem kompostiranju v laboratorijskem merilu (ISO 20200:2015)
Ta mednarodni standard določa metodo za ugotavljanje stopnje razpada polimernih materialov pri simuliranem kompostiranju v laboratorijskem merilu. Ta metoda ne velja za ugotavljanje biorazgradljivosti polimernih materialov pri pogojih kompostiranja. Za dokazovanje možnosti kompostiranja so potrebni nadaljnji preskusi.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 20200:2004), which has been technically
revised with the following changes:
a) the term “heavy metal” has been replaced by “regulated metal” (3.2);
b) the term “commercial” has been replaced by “municipal or industrial” (Clause 4 and 5);
c) the numerical value of R 42,8 % has been replaced by 42,3 % (Clause 13);
d) the variability of the results has been raised from 10 % to 20 % (Clause 13).

Introduction
The test method described in this International Standard determines the degree of disintegration of
plastic materials when exposed to a composting environment. The method is simple and inexpensive,
does not require special bioreactors, and is scaled for use in any general-purpose laboratory. It requires
the use of a standard and homogeneous synthetic solid waste. The synthetic waste components are
dry, clean, safe products which can be stored in the laboratory without any odour or health problems.
The synthetic waste is of constant composition and devoid of any undesired plastic material which
could be erroneously identified as test material at the end of testing, altering the final evaluation. The
bioreactors are small, as is the amount of synthetic waste to be composted (approximately 3 l). With
the limited amount of test material, this method provides a simplified test procedure. This test method
