EN 14995 Plastics - Evaluation of Compostability - Test Chart and Specifications

  • Biodegradability;
  • Decomposition during biological treatment;
  • Impact on the biological treatment process;
  • Impact on the quality of the material.

This European standard defines the requirements for plastic materials to be considered organically recoverable. It provides a framework that can be used to support compostability claims of plastics. The approach of this European standard is comparable to that of EN 13432, which defines requirements for packaging materials.

This European Standard provides an evaluation framework for determining whether the requirements of this European Standard are met. Its approach is similar to system standards such as the EN ISO 9000 and EN ISO 14000 series.
