ISO/CD 24299

A draft is being reviewed by the committee.

Abstract

This document specifies a method for the determination of the biodegradability of cigarette filters in seawater based on carbon dioxide production. The test simulates the biodegradation processes which take place in a (natural) marine environment.

This document applies to both smoked and non-smoked cigarette filters.

NOTE This test method can also be used to test other product filters intended for smoking when using the appropriate smoking regime, as well as non-smoked cigarette filters.
