Plastics - Methods for the preparation of samples for biodegradation testing of plastic materials (ISO 10210:2012)
ISO 10210:2012 describes methods for the preparation of test samples used in the determination of the ultimate aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium, soil, controlled compost or anaerobic digesting sludge. The methods described are designed to provide dimensional consistency of test samples, resulting in improved reproducibility of test results during the determination of the ultimate biodegradability of the product.
These methods apply to the following materials:
natural and/or synthetic polymers, copolymers or mixtures of these;
plastic materials that contain additives, such as plasticizers or colorants;
plastic composite materials that contain organic or inorganic fillers;
products made from the above materials.

Plastiques - Méthodes de préparation des échantillons pour les essais de biodégradation des matériaux plastiques (ISO 10210:2012)
L'ISO 10210:2012 décrit des méthodes pour la préparation des échantillons d'essai utilisés pour la détermination de la biodégradabilité aérobie et anaérobie ultime des matériaux plastiques en milieu aqueux, dans le sol, le compost contrôlé ou les boues digérées anaérobies. Les méthodes décrites sont destinées à fournir une cohérence dimensionnelle des échantillons d'essai, conduisant à une meilleure reproductibilité des résultats d'essai lors de la détermination de la biodégradabilité ultime du produit.
Ces méthodes s'appliquent aux matériaux suivants:
- polymères naturels et/ou synthétiques, copolymères ou mélanges de ceux-ci;
- matériaux plastiques contenant des additifs, tels que plastifiants ou colorants;
- matériaux plastiques composites contenant des charges organiques ou inorganiques;
- produits fabriqués à partir des matériaux ci-dessus.
Polimerni materiali - Metode za pripravo vzorcev za preskušanje biorazgradljivosti polimernih materialov (ISO 10210:2012)
Standard ISO 10210:2012 opisuje metode za pripravo preskusnih vzorcev, ki se uporabljajo za ugotavljanje končne aerobne in anaerobne biorazgradljivosti polimernih materialov v vodnem mediju, zemlji, nadzorovanem kompostu ali anaerobnem izvlečku blata. Opisane metode zagotavljajo doslednost dimenzij preskusnih vzorcev, kar izboljšuje ponovljivost rezultatov preskusa pri ugotavljanju končne biorazgradljivosti proizvoda.
Te metode se uporabljajo za naslednje materiale:
naravne in/ali sintetične polimere, kopolimere ali njihove mešanice;
polimerne materiale, ki vsebujejo dodatke, kot so mehčala ali barvila;
polimerne kompozitne materiale, ki vsebujejo organska ali neorganska polnila;
proizvode iz zgoraj navedenih materialov.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.

Introduction
Plastics recovery technology includes material recycling, organic recycling and energy recovery. The use of
biodegradable plastics is one of the valuable recovery options in the field of organic recycling.
ISO standards for determining the ultimate aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an
aqueous medium, activated sludge, compost, digesting sludge and soil have been published. These standards
include ISO 14851, ISO 14852, ISO 14853, ISO 14855-1, ISO 14855-2, ISO 15985 and ISO 17556. For the
user of these standards, it might be difficult to compare biodegradation changes during a test, even when
using the same samples, due to differences in the test conditions. These differences might arise from the
compost preparation, the test preparation methodology, the shape and/or size of the test sample, etc. Accurate
comparison of biodegradability data for the same plastic material can be difficult to achieve unless the conditions
specified in the standards are accurately followed.
A unified approach to test sample preparation is important in achieving consistency within the standards
mentioned above. The methods described in this document help to provide a consistent approach to sample
preparation techniques for biodegradation testing of plastic materials.
