‧ ASTM D6400 ( American Society for Testing and Materials )：

"Standard Specification for Compostable Plastics"

International Compostable Test Standard：EN 13432 & ASTM D6400

Standards	ASTM D6400	DIN EN 13432 (14995)
Biodegradation	For products consisting of a single polymer, 60% of the organic carbon must be converted to carbon dioxide within 180 days. For products consisting of more than one polymer, 90% of the organic carbon must be converted to carbon dioxide within 180 days.	At least 90% of biodegradation within 6 months.
Disintegration	No more than 10% of its original dry weight remains after sieving through the 2mm sieve after controlled laboratory-scale composting.	No more than 10% of the residues from the packaging waste should be larger than 2mm.
Safety	Heavy metals analysis. Ecotoxicological assessment ( plant growth test on two different plant species following modified OECD guideline 208).	Heavy metals analysis. Ecotoxicological assessment ( plant growth test on two different plant species following modified OECD guideline 208).
