<p>This document specifies a method for the determination of the biodegradability of cigarette filters in seawater based on carbon dioxide production. The test simulates the biodegradation processes which take place in a (natural) marine environment.</p>
<p>This document applies to both smoked and non-smoked cigarette filters.</p>
<p>NOTE This test method can also be used to test other product filters intended for smoking when using the appropriate smoking regime, as well as non-smoked cigarette filters.</p>
