Abstract

This document specifies a laboratory test method for determining the aerobic biodegradability of fibres and textile materials in seawater by measuring the biochemical oxygen demand or the amount of carbon dioxide evolved. This method can be applied to fibres and textile materials (e.g. staples, tops, yarns and fabrics).
