Textiles — Tests for biodegradability — Test method for determination of physical degradation rate of textile materials under simulated composting conditions in a laboratory — scale test ISO/NP 17952

Scope

This document specifies test methods for the measurement of the physical degradation of textile materials under the simulate composting conditions in a laboratory scale.
Degradation rates considered in this document are mechanical properties and surface area loss.
This document is not suitable for the assessment of degradation caused by heat(thermo-degradation) or light exposure(photo-degradation).
