What is ISO/TR 21960 about?
ISO/TR 21960 summarizes current scientific literature on the occurrence of macroplastics and microplastics, in the environment and biota. ISO/TR 21960 gives an overview of testing methods, including sampling from various environmental matrix, sample preparation and analysis. Further, chemical and physical testing methods for the identification and quantification of plastics are described. ISO/TR 21960 gives recommendations for three steps necessary for the standardization of methods towards harmonized procedures for sampling, sample preparation and analysis. Note- ISO/TR 21960 does not apply indoor and health related aspects.

Why should you use ISO/TR 21960 ?
ISO/TR 21960 with its primary focus on plastics, rather than all the other materials, in the environment intends to provide a survey on the international situation of plastics and plastics in the environment with special attention to microplastics in the marine environment, its detection and determination. For this purpose, ISO/TR 21960 describes the state-of-the art testing methods as well as assessment approaches. ISO/TR 21960 is a contribution towards harmonized procedures and measures in order to provide a sound basis for a reliable and verifiable evaluation of the impact of plastics and m...
