Plastics—Ecotoxicity testing scheme for soluble decomposition intermediates from biodegradable plastic materials and products used in the marine environment—Test methods and requirements

This standard applies to the development of testing schemes, test implementation and result determination for ecotoxicity assessment of soluble decomposition intermediates from biodegradable plastic materials and products used in the marine environment. It specifies test methods and requirements for relevant ecotoxicity testing, providing a uniform technical basis for assessing the potential impacts of decomposition intermediates on the marine ecological environment. Manufacturers, testing bodies, certification bodies and assessment organizations for relevant materials and products may conduct ecotoxicity testing and compliance assessments in accordance with this standard.
