3、egradability of an unusedfully formulated hydraulic fluid in its original form.Biode-gradability is one of three characteristics which are assessedwhen judging the environmental impact of a hydraulic fluid.The other two characteristics are ecotoxicity and bioaccumu-lation.1.2 Biodegradability may be
4、 considered by type of environ-mental compartment:aerobic fresh water,aerobic marine,aerobic soil,and anaerobic media.Test methods for aerobicfresh water,aerobic soil and anaerobic media have beendeveloped that are appropriate for the concerns and needs oftesting in each compartment.1.3 This guide a
5、ddresses releases to the environment thatare incidental to the use of a hydraulic fluid but is not intendedto cover situations of major,accidental release.The testsdiscussed in this guide take a minimum of three to four weeks.Therefore,issues relating to the biodegradability of hydraulicfluid are mo
6、re effectively addressed before the fluid is used,and thus before incidental release may occur.Nothing in thisguide should be taken to relieve the user of the responsibilityto properly use and dispose of hydraulic fluids.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units
