Abstract:

There is no relevant literature report about the evaluation of uncertainty in degradation performance test of degradable plastic. A measurement uncertainty of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of materials was evaluated under controlled composting conditions of Dt. After the normalization and visualization of uncertainty components according to the combination, the main uncertainty components of frepeatability of test groupfrepeatability of blank groupMC round, frepeatability of TC, and mTC were confirmed. The main uncertainty components of the three A⁃class uncertainties of frepeatability of test groupfrepeatability of blank group andfrepeatability of TC were concentrated after the optimization, and the other uncertainty components could be ignored. The standard uncertainty of Dt could be calculated quickly by three A⁃class uncertainties after simplification. This concluded more than 90 % of the ucDt) by holistic computation and provided the example for the evaluation of the uncertainty in degradation performance test of degradable plastic.

Key words: degradable plastic, degradation performance, controlled composting conditions, percentage biodegradation, uncertainty
