29、N EN ISO 14855-1:2013-04 EN ISO 14855-1:2012 (E) 3 IntroductionThe main method specified in this part of ISO 14855 uses a solid-phase respirometric test system based on mature compost used as a solid bed, a source of nutrients, and an inoculum rich in thermophilic microorganisms. Mature compost is a
30、 very heterogeneous and complex material. Therefore, it can be difficult to quantify the residual polymeric material left in the bed at the end of the test, to detect possible low-molecular-mass molecules released into the solid bed by the polymeric material during degradation, and to assess the bio
31、mass. As a result, it can be difficult to perform a complete carbon balance. Another difficulty which is sometimes encountered with mature compost is a “priming effect”: the organic matter present in large amounts in the mature compost can undergo polymer-induced degradation, known as the “priming e
32、ffect”, which affects the measurement of the biodegradability.To overcome these difficulties and to improve the reliability of the method, the mature compost can be replaced by a solid mineral medium which is used as the composting bed, thus facilitating analyses. This variant can be used to measure
33、 the biodegradation in terms of CO2evolution, to quantify and analyse the biomass and the residues of polymeric material left in the solid bed at the end of the test, and to perform a complete carbon balance. Furthermore, the method is not significantly affected by the priming effect and can, theref
34、ore, be used to assess materials known to cause this problem with mature compost. The mineral bed can also be subjected to an ecotoxicological analysis to verify the absence of any ecotoxic activity in the bed after biodegradation.DIN EN ISO 14855-1:2013-04 EN ISO 14855-1:2012 (E) 4 WARNING Sewage,
35、activated sludge, soil and compost may contain potentially pathogenic organisms. Therefore appropriate precautions should be taken when handling them. Toxic test compounds and those whose properties are unknown should be handled with care.1 ScopeThis part of ISO 14855 specifies a method for the dete
36、rmination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastics, based on organic compounds, under controlled composting conditions by measurement of the amount of carbon dioxide evolved and the degree of disintegration of the plastic at the end of the test. This method is designed to simulate typica
37、l aerobic composting conditions for the organic fraction of solid mixed municipal waste. The test material is exposed to an inoculum which is derived from compost. The composting takes place in an environment wherein temperature, aeration and humidity are closely monitored and controlled. The test m
38、ethod is designed to yield the percentage conversion of the carbon in the test material to evolved carbon dioxide as well as the rate of conversion.Subclauses 8.6 and 8.7 specify a variant of the method, using a mineral bed (vermiculite) inoculated with thermophilic microorganisms obtained from comp
39、ost with a specific activation phase, instead of mature compost. This variant is designed to yield the percentage of carbon in the test substance converted to carbon dioxide and the rate of conversion.The conditions described in this part of ISO 14855 may not always correspond to the optimum conditi
40、ons for the maximum degree of biodegradation to occur.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
