Scope

This Standard sets out a method for a rapid analysis of the concentration of prodegradant present in plastic specimens. This test method does not provide information on whether or not the degradable plastics will degrade.
The results of this test method may be required to be reported by other Test Methods in this series where test specimens have been subjected to those test methods.
