ISO 10707:1994

Water quality — Evaluation in an aqueous medium of the “ultimate” aerobic biodegradability of organic compounds — Method by analysis of biochemical oxygen demand (closed bottle test)

Specifies a method, by analysis of biochemical oxygen demand, for the evaluation in an aqueous medium of the “ultimate” biodegradability of organic compounds at a given concentration by aerobic microorganisms. The method applies to all organic compounds which are sufficiently water soluble to prepare a stock solution or poorly water soluble when using special dosing techniques.
