I am currently looking at purchasing some hydraulic lubricant for my 
machines and one of the criteria is biodegradability due to close proximity 
to our water reservoir. How to assess the the kind of biodegradability in 
this sense? I know that time is one factor, eg biodegradable in less than 
10 days, but what is the standard type (industrial) of biodegradable test 
to look for?
