Scope

This International Standard specifies a method, by analysis of inorganic carbon, for the evaluation in an aqueous medium of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of organic substances at a given concentration of microorganisms.This International Standard is applicable to organic compounds which are:a) water-soluble under the test conditions;b) poorly water-soluble under the test conditions, in which case special measures may be necessary to achieve a good dispersion of the compound (see ISO 10634);c) volatile;d) not inhibitory to the test microorganisms at the concentration chosen for the test.In this test, biogenically produced inorganic carbon is measured
