16、. 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
17、-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
18、 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
19、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. ISO 15314 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 6, Ageing,

BSISO15314:2004ISO 13514002:4)E( ISO 4002 r llAithgs reservde v Introduction Plastics are often used in outdoor applications where they are immersed or partially immersed in water. In some cases, materials made from plastic are designed to float on water. In o
21、thers, plastic articles that are discarded end up as floating debris. In addition to the effects of sunlight and heat, plastic polymers or products exposed in marine environments may be subjected to hydrolysis, water absorption, extraction of stabilizers, erosion by wave action, corrosion by salts a
22、nd/or attack by seaborne microorganisms. These stresses are not simulated in typical weathering exposures conducted in accordance with ISO 877. Therefore a separate standard is necessary to define procedures that realistically and consistently stress plastic materials in the same way that they would
23、 be in products used or discarded in marine environments. This International Standard describes three procedures for the exposure of plastic materials in the same way as they could be when used in marine environments. There are four primary reasons why the rate of degradation of plastics exposed at
24、sea can be different from that for the same plastic exposed on land 1 : a) exposure in moist conditions is known to accelerate degradation of some polymers small amounts of absorbed water may act as a plasticizer, increasing accessibility of the matrix to oxygen, or may leach out stabilizing additiv
25、es; b) differences in heat build-up between plastics exposed in water or on the surface compared to plastics exposed on land; c) the action of microorganisms that may shield the plastic from UV radiation or may enhance biodegradation processes; d) the action of macroorganism settlements that can pro
26、duce disfigurement of surfaces. It is essential to establish appropriate exposure procedures in order to properly assess the performance of plastics used in marine environments, and to evaluate how long plastics discarded as litter will persist in marine environments.

MethodA covers exposures where specimens float on the surface, method
28、B covers exposures where specimens are partially immersed and methodC covers exposures where specimens are completely immersed. Although intended for marine (salt water) exposure, the methodology might be used with outdoor brackish water and fresh-water exposures as well. Direct weathering of plasti
29、cs on land is described in ISO 877. Method A is particularly applicable to enhanced-degradability plastics where the environmental degradation under marine floating exposure is expected to be accelerated relative to that of regular plastic materials. This International Standard specifies the general
30、 requirements for the apparatus, and procedures for using the test methods described. It lists properties that may be used to evaluate changes in plastics subjected to marine exposure. More specific information about methods for determining the changes in properties of plastics on exposure and repor
31、ting these results is given in ISO 4582. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

36、, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 control weathering a material which is of similar composition and construction to the test material, and which is exposed at the same time for comparison with the test material NOTE An example of the use of a control material would be when a formulati
37、on different from one currently being used is being evaluated. In that case, the control would be the plastic made with the original formulation. 3.2 file specimen portion of the material to be tested which is stored under conditions in which it is stable, and is used for comparison between the expo
38、sed state and the original state 4P r i n c i p l e 4.1 General Replicate specimens of the appropriate size and shape are exposed floating on the surface of water, partially immersed in water or completely immersed in water. After the prescribed exposure interval, the specimens are removed from the
39、water and tested/examined for changes in chemical, physical and/or appearance properties. In addition, the specimens may be tested for the type and severity of microbial growth or biofouling. Unless otherwise specified, test specimens are exposed in an unstrained state. The exposure intervals at whi
40、ch the specimens are tested/examined are typically defined in terms of a given length of time. In some cases, however, the exposure interval may be expressed in terms of the total solar or solar ultraviolet radiation dosage. The climatic conditions are monitored during the exposure and reported with
41、 the other conditions of exposure. 4.2 Significance The relative durability of materials in marine exposures can vary depending on the location of the exposure because of differences in ultraviolet radiation, ambient air temperature, water temperature, microorganisms, tidal action and contaminants i
42、n the water. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that results from one exposure in a particular location will be useful in determining the relative durability in another location. Exposures in several locations which represent a broad range of anticipated service conditions are recommended. Exposure of
43、the same material for the same length of time at different marine sites is not expected to result in identical degrees of degradation. This is also true for exposures at the same site, but during different seasons or in different years. Thus, the length of exposure is only a general indication of th
44、e extent of exposure and should always be considered in relation to the characteristics of the exposure site. Because of year-to-year climatic variations, results from a single exposure test cannot be used to predict the absolute rate at which a material degrades in marine exposures. Several years o
45、f repeat exposures are needed to get an “average” test result for a given location. It is strongly recommended that at least one control material be part of any marine exposure evaluation. It is preferable to use two control materials, one with relatively good durability and one with relatively poor
46、 durability. This International Standard covers plastic materials in film, sheet, laminate, monofilament, fibre, rope or netting form. This includes, but is not limited to, packaging films, fishing gear, monofilament fibres and ropes. When filaments, fibres, ropes or netting are exposed, it may be a
47、ppropriate to apply a stress or use weights during exposure to give a more realistic estimate of performance in actual service. BSISO15314:2004ISO 13514002:4)E( ISO 4002 r llAithgs reservde 3 When marine exposures are used to evaluate enhanced-degradability plastic material, a comparable material no
48、t formulated for enhanced degradability might be used for comparison. The test results can then be used to obtain the rate of breakdown of the enhanced-degradability material relative to the other material. For most enhanced-degradability materials, particularly the enhanced-photodegradability mater
49、ials, the time to embrittlement (reduction of ultimate extensibility to , and therefore failure of the material) is only a few months of exposure. Therefore, the test results will depend heavily on the time of year the exposure is conducted. For materials that are intended to have enhanced degradability, it is important to evaluate the degraded material after exposure to determine whether it is biodegradable. The test re
