21、ord 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 techni
22、cal 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 e
23、lectrotechnical 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
24、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 i
25、dentifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 14855-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 5, Physical- chemical properties. ISO 14855 consists of the following parts, under the general title Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materi
26、als under controlled composting conditions Method by analysis of evolved carbon dioxide: Part 1: General method Part 2: Gravimetric measurement of carbon dioxide evolved in a laboratory-scale testBS EN ISO 14855-2:2009 ISO 14855-2:2007(E) ISO 2007 All rights reserved v Introduction Management of pla
27、stics waste is a serious problem in the world. Plastics recovery technologies include material recovery (mechanical recycling, chemical or feedstock recycling, and biological or organic recycling) and energy recovery (heat, steam or electricity as a substitute for fossil fuels or other fuel resource
28、s). The use of biodegradable plastics is one valuable recovery option (biological or organic recycling). Several ISO standards for determining the ultimate aerobic/anaerobic biodegradability of plastic materials have been published. In particular, ISO 14855-1 is a common test method that measures th
29、e amount of carbon dioxide evolved using methods such as continuous infrared analysis, gas chromatography or titration. Compared with ISO 14855-1, the amounts of compost inoculum and test sample used in this part of ISO 14855 are one-tenth the size. In order to ensure the activity of the compost ino
30、culum, inert material that gives the mixture the same texture as soil is mixed into the inoculum. The carbon dioxide evolved from the test vessel is determined by absorbing it in a carbon dioxide trap and carrying out gravimetric analysis of the absorbent. The method described in this part of ISO 14
31、855, which uses a closed system to capture the carbon dioxide evolved, can also be used to obtain valuable information, by means of isotopic-labelling studies, on the way in which the molecular structure of co-polymers degrades.BS EN ISO 14855-2:2009 . vi BS EN ISO 14855-2:2009 INTERNATIONAL STANDAR

33、RNING Sewage, 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. 1S c o p e This part of ISO 14855 specifies a
34、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 tempe
35、rature 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 n
36、ot inhibit the activity of micro-organisms present in the inoculum. If the test material inhibits micro-organisms in the inoculum, another type of mature compost or pre-exposure compost can be used. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of th
