Introduction

Interpretation of the core content of the standard

This standard is equivalent to the ISO10210:2012 international standard, which specifies the preparation method of biodegradation test samples of plastic materials in the following environments:

  • Aqueous culture medium (GB/T 19276.1/2)
  • Controlled composting (GB/T 19277.1/2)
  • Digested sludge (GB/T 32106/33797)
  • Soil conditions (GB/T 22047)

Key preparation technologies

1. Sample morphology control

Different preparation schemes are adopted for different raw material forms:

Raw material typePreparation requirementsTypical size
Pellets/granulesLow temperature mechanical grinding125-250μm
Film/sheetDirect cutting or grinding1cm×1cm
ProductsGrinding after cutting≤1cm³

Instrument and parameter control

Core equipment requirements:

  • Sieve vibrator: equipped with 250μm (60 mesh) and 125μm (120 mesh) standard sieves
  • Rotor grinder: ring sieve aperture ≥0.5mm
  • Microscope: at least 100x magnification

Refrigerant usage specifications: solid carbon dioxide particles 1-10mm or liquid nitrogen, ensure that the sample temperature is below the glass transition temperature.


Implementation recommendations

Key points for quality control

  1. After grinding, the sample must pass the color consistency check
  2. The standard deviation of the particle size distribution should be controlled within 30% of the average value
  3. The sample must be stored away from light and moisture (vacuum desiccator is recommended)

Typical problem solutions: When the sample shows signs of thermal aging, the grinding speed should be reduced or the amount of refrigerant should be increased.


Analysis of Standard Evolution

This standard solves the problem of incomparable data caused by differences in sample preparation in early biodegradation tests, and makes the test results of different laboratories comparable by unifying:

  • Particle size control range (125-250μm)
  • Surface treatment method
  • Thermal history control standard

. Appendix D lists the correspondence with ISO standards in detail.
