2019/904 - Directive (EU) 2019/904 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment

This document specifies the requirements and test methods to demonstrate that plastic caps and lids of single-use beverage containers with a capacity of up to three litres remain attached to the container during the product’s intended use stage. This document also addresses the need to ensure the necessary strength, reliability and safety of beverage container closures, including those for carbonated drinks.
This document applies to the strength, reliability and safety impacted by the attachment features and does not apply to the overall closure system.

This document specifies requirements and guidelines for the hardware and
software used for digitalization of product information of circular designed
fishing gear and aquaculture equipment containing plastics.

This document provides guidelines and fundamental principles for the
development of circular business models for fishing gear and aquaculture
equipment containing plastics.
It discusses opportunities for value retention, product life extension and
recycling of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment.

This document specifies the environmental and circularity requirements for
the components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment containing
plastics. It establishes sustainability principles that minimize the negative
impact of the plastic components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment
on the environment, taking into account the impact on its performance (e.g.
catchability or life span). The circular and environmental design of fishing gear
and aquaculture equipment focuses on:
— The selection and sourcing of materials and components;
— manufacture and assembly;
— placement, installation and deployment of the fishing gear and aquaculture
equipment;
— use and maintenance repair; and
— the end-of-use stage.
Transport, storage and distribution are taken into account at the different
stages, where applicable.
This document excludes design aspects related to fishing or aquaculture
techniques or management.

This document specifies requirements and guidance for the hardware and software for digitalization of product information of circular designed fishing gear and aquaculture equipment.

This document specifies the general requirements and provides the reader guidance, recommendations and requirements for changing from a linear economy to a circular one by focusing on the general principles of circular design for fishing gear and aquaculture equipment, situating them in the current context of the European circular economy.
This document also specifies the stakeholders and their relationships with each other in a general context, as well as for the different parts of the series of standards to which this part belongs.

This document specifies the requirements for the user manuals that accompany circular designed fishing gear and aquaculture equipment. The document provides general principles for a designer to determine the scope of the circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture
equipment for a particular item of fishing gear or its components and to develop user manuals, lists of spare parts, and maps of locations where damaged fishing gear can be returned and prepared for reuse.
The document specifies the requirements for gear/polymer labelling and marking, to ensure traceability of fishing gear components.

This document lays out the requirements for organisations to establish, implement and maintain circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment by integrating corresponding product requirements in their organisational procedures. The document will also incentivise new, innovative, circular business models. Opportunities for value retention and ‘second life’ of fishing gear and
aquaculture equipment will be part of this document.

This document specifies the environmental and circularity requirements for the components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment which contain plastics. It will establish sustainability principles that minimize the negative impact of the plastic components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment on the environment, taking into account the impact on its performance (e.g. catchability or life span). The circular and environmental design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment focuses on:
⎯ selection/sourcing of materials
⎯ manufacture/assembly ⎯ placement/ installation/ deployment of the gear/ equipment
⎯ use and maintenance
⎯ end of life stage Transport, storage and distribution
are taken into account at the different stages, where applicable.
Excluded: Design aspects related to fishing or aquaculture techniques or management.

This document specifies the technical requirements for the circular design and recyclability of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment,containing plastic and which can be applied in the design and manufacturing of such gear.
The requirements are related to the designand manufacturing of fishing gear, using the principals of the waste hierarchy and avoiding hazardous substances, to ensure that gearstays in use for as long as possible and sustainable endof life waste management is facilitated to enable reuse and recycling of materials.
