What is BS EN 16087-2 - Aerobic biological activity for compost about?
BS EN 16087-2 is a European standard that serves technical specifications for determining aerobic biological activity for compost that enables faster bio-decomposition and odourless end-product.
BS EN 16087-2 describes a method to determine aerobic biological activity using a self-heating test. BS EN 16087-2 method is only applicable to composted material.
Who is BS EN 16087-2 - Aerobic biological activity for compost for?
BS EN 16087-2 on Aerobic biological activity for compost applies to:
- Manufacturers of soil improvers and growing media
- Dealers and importers of soil improvers and growing media
- Testing houses and labs for soil improvers and growing media
- Quality assurance services
- Regulatory bodies
Why should you use BS EN 16087-2 - Aerobic biological activity for compost?
Compost is made up of a variety of materials that are used to enrich and enhance the soil. It is often made from decomposing plant and food waste, as well as organic materials that have been recycled. Aerobic self-heating in composting facilitates faster decomposition and an odourless end-product.
BS EN 16087-2 provides users guidance on the method to determine aerobic biological activity using a self-heating test. BS EN 16087-2 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling users to do the method correctly.
BS EN 16087-2 provides users guidance on scope, principle, apparatus, procedure, expression of results, test report and validation, enabling the evaluation of self-heating in compost.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 16087-2, users can assess aerobic biological activity with self-heating in compost that enables the development of an environment where good bacteria can work to break down waste.
