scope:
Specifies requirements and procedures to determine the compastability and anaerobic treatability of packaging and packaging materials by adressing four characteristics: 1) biodegradability; 2) disintegration during biological treatment; 3) effect on the biological treatment process; and 4) effect on the quality of the resulting compost. This standard covers the compostability of packaging itself but does not address regulations that may exist regarding the compostability of any residual contents.
