ASTM D-6400 applies to compostable bags only. ASTM D-6954-04 is a guideline and test method used by the Federal Trade Commission and in U.S. Code of Federal Regulations to test the oxidative and thermal biodegradation of plastic. It doesn’t have pass/fail criteria, meaning that even if you perform the test, it doesn’t mean the product meets certain standards of oxodegradability. Degradation, biodegradation, and compostability all vary to some degree in their life cycles and therefore require different mechanisms to reach their desired ends.
