1.1 本规范涵盖了与食品、景观垃圾和其他堆肥原料相关的纤维素纤维包装材料和产品，这些材料和产品拟在市政和工业堆肥设施的需氧条件下进行堆肥，在这些设施中可达到高温。 1.2 本规范涵盖纤维素基无涂层和涂层包装材料和产品，并涵盖整个包装产品。本规范涵盖的产品包括由纤维素纸浆、瓦楞材料、纸板、纸、纸板和模制纤维生产的纤维素纤维产品。 1.3 本规范不包括将热塑性聚合物层压或挤压至纤维素基质的终端产品。 1.4 本规范旨在根据联邦贸易委员会发布的指南，制定将纤维素纤维包装材料和产品标记为“可在需氧市政和工业堆肥设施中堆肥”的要求， 2. 前提是标签包括有关此类设施可用性的适当资格。 1.5 本规范中的特性是确定包装材料和产品在大规模好氧市政或工业堆肥中是否能令人满意地堆肥所需的特性，在大规模好氧市政或工业堆肥中，最大吞吐量是一个高度优先事项，并且由于美观原因，生物降解的中间阶段对最终用户来说不明显。 1.6 本规范在技术上等同于ISO 18606.1.7。 1.7 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.8 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.9 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。

1.1 This specification covers cellulosic-fiber-based packaging materials and products associated with food, landscape waste, and other compost feedstocks, which are intended to be composted under aerobic conditions in municipal and industrial composting facilities, where thermophilic temperatures are achieved. 1.2 This specification covers cellulosic-based uncoated and coated packaging materials and products and covers whole packaging products. Products covered in this specification include cellulosic fiber-based products produced from cellulosic pulp, corrugated materials, containerboard, paper, paperboard, and molded fiber. 1.3 This specification excludes end items where thermoplastic polymer is laminated or extruded to cellulosic substrates. 1.4 This specification is intended to establish the requirements for labeling cellulosic-fiber-based packaging materials and products as “compostable in aerobic municipal and industrial composting facilities” in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission, 2 provided the label includes proper qualifications as to the availability of such facilities. 1.5 The properties in this specification are those required to determine if packaging materials and products will compost satisfactorily in large-scale aerobic municipal or industrial composting where maximum throughput is a high priority and where intermediate stages of biodegradation must not be apparent to the end user for aesthetic reasons. 1.6 This specification is technically equivalent to ISO 18606.1.7. 1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
