Packaging - Preliminary evaluation of the disintegration of packaging materials under simulated composting conditions in a laboratory scale test EN 14806:2005

Publication date:   Nov 25, 2005

Scope

This laboratory scale test method using synthetic waste aims at simulating the environmental conditions found in industrial composting plants. Packaging materials exposed to this environment can be preliminary assessed for disintegrability. A negative result does not necessarily mean that the test material is not disintegrating under industrial composting conditions. This test does not replace the acceptance disintegration test as specified in EN 14045, in accordance with EN 13432.
