PART II.

This paper presents an overview of methods and standards with extra comments to the procedures for biodegra-
dation tests. Examination of biodegradable plastics is a complex issue taking into account the choice of standards
and required procedure of the tests. An extremely important aspect is analysis of all available standards and the
selection of the specific standard for the appropriate type of issues to be solved. The standards are different in the
system requirements, complexity and possibility of testing. Also important is proper marking on the product held
for trading from the point of further development of post-consumer waste plastic.
