Plastics. Test methods for determination of degradation rate and disintegration degree of plastic materials exposed to marine environmental matrices under laboratory conditions
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
BSI | 2021 | 24 |
This document specifies test methods for the measurement of the physical degradation of samples made with plastics materials when exposed to marine environmental matrices under aerobic conditions at laboratory scale.
This document is not suitable for the assessment of degradation caused by heat (thermo-degradation) or light exposure (photo-degradation).
