BS 6068-5.17:1995 Water quality. Part 5. Biological methods - Section 5.16 Evaluation in an aqueous medium of the 'ultimate' aerobic biodegradability of organic compounds - Method by analysis of biochemical oxygen demand (close bottle test)

Abstract This International Standard 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 conditions described in this International Standard do not necessarily always correspond to the optimal conditions for allowing the maximum value of bio- degradation to occur. The method applies to all organic compounds which are sufficiently water soluble to prepare a stock sol- ution or poorly water soluble when using special dos- ing techniques. Due to the low concentration of test compound at the beginning of the test, normally no special precautions for the toxicity of the test compound to the micro- organisms of the inoculum is necessary; if required a parallel inhibition test can be performed.
