Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be

and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International

Introduction
Organic chemicals may be introduced into the soil both intentionally and
accidentally, after which they may, or may not, degrade biologically. For
chemicals which do degrade, the rate of degradation tan vary con-
siderably, depending not only on the molecular structure of the Chemical,
but also on soil conditions such as temperature, water and Oxygen
availability which influence microbial activity. The activity of micro-
organisms often plays a major role in degradative processes.
lt is necessary to have laboratory tests available to estimate the rate and
extent of biodegradation and thereby the persistente of organic chemicals
in soil. Numerous laboratory methods are available for the estimation of
aerobic biodegradation, but these differ considerably according to the
specific circumstances, for example, soil type, temperature and incubation
times.
This International Standard provides general guidelines for the selection
and conduct of tests for determining the biodegradation of organic
chemicals in aerobic soils.
