Comprehensive Guide to ISO 7827 Biodegradability Testing of Water-Soluble Substances Laboratory Testing Service

Introduction

The increasing awareness of environmental sustainability has led to a growing demand for biodegradable substances in various industries. To ensure the biodegradability of water-soluble substances, manufacturers and regulatory bodies rely on laboratory testing services that adhere to international standards such as ISO 7827. In this article, we will provide an in-depth guide to the ISO 7827 Biodegradability Testing of Water-Soluble Substances laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab.

Standard-Related Information

The biodegradability of water-soluble substances is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 7827:2011(E) - Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium

  • ASTM D6400-19 - Standard Specification for Biodegradable Plastics Used for Food Packaging and Service Ware

  • EN 13432:2002 - Biodegradable compostable bags, containers and packaging - Requirements for assessment, evaluation, and determination of the biodegradability of packaging materials under controlled conditions

    • These standards provide a framework for assessing the biodegradability of water-soluble substances in an aqueous medium. The ISO 7827 standard specifies the test method for determining the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The need for biodegradability testing is driven by several factors, including:

  • Environmental regulations: Regulatory bodies require manufacturers to demonstrate the biodegradability of their products to ensure they meet environmental standards.

  • Consumer demand: Consumers increasingly prefer eco-friendly products, driving the demand for biodegradable substances.

  • Business competitiveness: Companies that adopt biodegradable materials can improve their competitive position in the market.

    • Consequences of not performing this test include:

  • Non-compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Negative impact on business reputation and customer trust

  • Inability to access international markets due to lack of compliance with global standards

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The ISO 7827 Biodegradability Testing of Water-Soluble Substances laboratory testing service involves the following steps:
