Overview
EN 14047:2002 – Packaging: Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of packaging materials in an aqueous medium - Method by analysis of evolved carbon dioxide - is a CEN standard that specifies a laboratory method to evaluate the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of packaging materials and their constituents. The standard defines a respirometric approach based on the measurement of CO2 evolution in an aqueous medium to assess whether materials are ultimately biodegradable when introduced to biologically active environments.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Applies to packaging materials and constituents used as packaging or packaging components that need verification of ultimate biodegradability.
- Test principle: A respirometric method that quantifies carbon dioxide (CO2) evolution as an indicator of aerobic biodegradation in an aqueous medium.
- Normative references:
- EN 13432 - Requirements for packaging recoverable through composting and biodegradation; test scheme and evaluation criteria.
- ISO 14852 - Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium - method by analysis of evolved CO2.
- Method selection: Where a CO2-evolution respirometric method is chosen, ISO 14852 is to be used to perform the test; the ISO method - originally developed for plastics - is applied analogously to other packaging materials and constituents.
- Applicability: The standard is intended to support assessment required for organic recovery routes such as composting and biodegradation, in line with EN 13432 requirements when applicable.
Applications
EN 14047 is designed for practical use by organizations involved in the design, testing and regulatory compliance of packaging materials:
- Packaging manufacturers and material suppliers - to generate biodegradability data for product development and claims.
- Independent testing laboratories - to conduct respirometric CO2-evolution tests and produce repeatable, standardized results.
- Regulatory bodies and certification schemes - to evaluate compliance with compostability and biodegradability criteria.
- R&D teams - to compare biodegradation performance of formulations, additives and composite materials.
Related standards
- EN 13432 - Packaging requirements for compostability and biodegradation (acceptance criteria and test scheme).
- ISO 14852 - The referenced CO2-evolution method for plastics; applied analogously under EN 14047.
EN 14047:2002 supports reliable, comparable biodegradability testing by referencing established CO2-evolution methods, helping stakeholders validate environmental claims and meet compostability/biodegradability regulatory or certification requirements.
