OECD Guidelines for Sustainable Packaging Practices Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The OECD Guidelines for Sustainable Packaging Practices laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab is governed by a set of international and national standards that ensure the quality, accuracy, and reliability of the test results. This section provides comprehensive information about the relevant standards, their development, and application in this specific laboratory test.

ISO 14021: Environmental Labels and Declarations - Self-Declared Environmental Claims (Type II Environmental Labelling)

The ISO 14021 standard is a widely accepted international standard for self-declared environmental claims, including sustainable packaging practices. Eurolabs OECD Guidelines for Sustainable Packaging Practices testing service adheres to the requirements of this standard, ensuring that test results are accurate and reliable.

ASTM D6866: Standard Test Methods for Determining the Biobased Content of Solid, Liquid, and Gaseous Samples Using Radiocarbon Analysis

The ASTM D6866 standard is a widely accepted standard in the United States for determining the biobased content of solid, liquid, and gaseous samples using radiocarbon analysis. Eurolabs testing service employs this method to determine the biobased content of packaging materials.

EN 14254: Packaging - Determination of Biodegradability

The EN 14254 standard is a European standard for determining the biodegradability of packaging materials. Eurolabs OECD Guidelines for Sustainable Packaging Practices testing service adheres to this standard, ensuring that test results are accurate and reliable.

TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) - TS 16627: Packaging - Determination of Biodegradability

The TSE TS 16627 standard is a Turkish standard for determining the biodegradability of packaging materials. Eurolabs testing service employs this method to determine the biodegradability of packaging materials.

Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

Standards development organizations, such as ISO, ASTM, EN, and TSE, play a crucial role in ensuring that laboratory tests are accurate, reliable, and comparable across different countries and industries. These organizations develop standards through a consensus-based process involving experts from various fields, including industry, academia, and government.
