Waxaa soo saartay Society American for Testing and Materials (ASTM), heerka ASTM D6828 wuxuu dhigayaa in filim caag ah ama daahan baco ah oo si toos ah loogu dhejiyay warqad si toos ah loogu dhejiyay substrates-ka-soo-baxa ah ee tas-hiilaadka hawada hawada ee degmada iyo warshadaha iyo xirmada, oo ay ku jiraan. Baakadaha ama baakadaha oo dhan, waxa loo qaabeeyey in la curiyo.Waxay daboolaysaa shuruudaha calaamadaynta alaabta iyo alaabta.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, heerkan kuma jiro waxa ku jira alaabta ama waxqabadkeeda marka la eego compostability ama biodegradability. Ciwaanka buuxa ee heerkan waa: ASTM D6868-21 Tilmaamaha caadiga ah ee calaamadinta alaabada dhamaadka ah oo ay ku jiraan balaastikada iyo polymers sida dahaarka ama waxyaabaha lagu daro warqad iyo substrates kale oo loogu talagalay in lagu qaso hawada hawada gudaha xarumaha degmada ama warshadaha.

Si loo compost ku qanco marka la dabaqayo heerka, alaabtu waa inay muujisaa mid ka mid ah saddexda astaamood:

• Kala qaybsanaan habboon inta lagu jiro curinta
• Biyodegradaynta dabiiciga ah oo ku filan
• Wax saameyn xun ah kuma laha awoodda composts si ay u taageeraan koritaanka dhirta

Heerarkani waxa uu daboolayaa walxaha ugu dambeeya ee ay ku jiraan balaastikada ama polymers-ka kaas oo aflaanta caagga ah ama polymers lagu dhex daray substrates iyadoo la isticmaalayo lamination, extrusion ama isku darka, iyo dhammaan alaabta kama dambaysta ah waxaa loogu talagalay in lagu qaso xaaladaha hawada hawada ee xarumaha bacriminta warshadaha.

Heerarkani wuxuu bixiyaa shuruudaha lagu calaamadinayo alaabta dhamaadka iyadoo la isticmaalayo balaastiig ama polymers sida dahaar ama xidheyaal ahaan sida kuwa la isku qurxiyo ee warshadaynta hawada hawada.

Tilmaamaha lagu soo bandhigay heerkan ayaa ah kuwa looga baahan yahay si loo go'aamiyo in qalabka ugu dambeeya, oo ay ku jiraan baakadaha loo isticmaalo balaastiigga iyo polymers sida dahaarka ama xirmooyinka, ay si ku qanacsan u koofi doonaan qashinka warshadaha aerobic ee ballaaran oo leh tallaabooyin dhexdhexaad ah halkaasoo waxtarka ugu sarreeya ay tahay mudnaanta. Nadiifinta noole caaga ah waa inaysan u muuqan isticmaalayaasha ugu dambeeya sababo qurxoon dartood.

Ururkayagu wuxuu bixiyaa adeegyo shahaado oo aad u kala duwan oo loogu talagalay ganacsiyada qaybaha kala duwan waxayna fulisaa imtixaannada, falanqaynta, xakamaynta iyo qiimaynta lagama maarmaanka ah ee qaabkan dhexdiisa. Shaqooyinkan, had iyo jeer waxay raacdaa heerarka gudaha iyo dibadda, xeerarka sharciga ee lagu dabaqi karo iyo dhaqamada guud ee la aqbali karo. Xaaladdan oo kale, codsanaya ganacsiyada,Waxa kale oo ay bixisaa shahaado compost iyo C-Label (Compost Summadaynta) adeegyada calaamadaynta compost.
