Kunststoffe - Thermoplastische Abdeckfolien für den Einsatz in der Landwirtschaft und im Gartenbau
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an maßliche, mechanische, optische und thermische Eigen¬schaften von thermoplastischen Folien zur Verwendung als Abdeckung für ständige oder temporäre Gewächs¬häuser sowie begehbare Tunnel und niedrige Tunnel zur Verfrühung und teilweisen Verfrühung im Gemüse , Obst und Blumenanbau fest.
Flachgelegte perforierte Abdeckfolien werden ebenfalls durch den Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm abgedeckt.
Sie legt eine Klassifikation bezüglich der Beständigkeit von Abdeckfolien und der in dieser Norm in Bezug genommenen Prüfverfahren fest.
Außerdem legt diese Europäische Norm auch Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung des Chlor und Schwefel-gehaltes von gebrauchten Folien fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für thermoplastische Abdeckfolien auf der Grundlage von Polyethylen- und/oder Ethylen Copolymer Werkstoffen mit Dicken von 20 µm bis mehr als 250 µm, die für den Einsatz in der Landwirtschaft und im Gartenbau in Europa bestimmt sind und zu folgenden Arten gehören: nicht thermische Folien, thermisch klare Folien und thermisch diffuse Folien.
Darüber hinaus legt diese Europäische Norm Hinweise für den Einsatz, die Anwendung und die Entsorgung von Abdeckfolien fest. Sie legt die üblicherweise erwartete Lebensdauer sowie Regeln fest, die die Bewertung der im Falle eines Versagens noch vor Ablauf der Mindesthaltbarkeitsdauer verbleibenden Nutzbarkeit ermöglicht.
ANMERKUNG Diese Regeln ermöglichen die Abschätzung des Restwertes der Folien. Diese Vorgaben gelten nur für die Folie selbst und den an ihr eingetretenen Schäden. Alle sonstigen Probleme fallen in den Anwendungsbereich der branchenüblichen Praktiken und der allgemeinen Verkaufs und Lieferbedingungen.

Ta dokument določa zahteve, povezane z dimenzijskimi, mehanskimi, optičnimi in termičnimi lastnostmi plastomernih folij, ki se uporabljajo za pokrivanje trajnih ali začasnih rastlinjakov in pohodnih tunelov ter zastirk, ki se uporabljajo za pospeševanje rasti in klitja zelenjave, sadja in cvetja. Ta evropski standard zajema tudi plosko ležeče prekrivne folije. Določa razvrstitev za trajnost prekrivnih folij in preskusne metode iz tega standarda. Ta evropski standard določa tudi preskusne metode za določanje vsebnosti klora in žvepla v folijah, ki so predmet uporabe. Ta evropski standard se uporablja za plastomerne prekrivne folije za uporabo v kmetijstvu in vrtnarstvu v Evropi z razponom debeline od 20 μm do več kot 250 μm na osnovi polietilenskih in/ali etilenskih kopolimernih materialov naslednjih vrst: atermične folije, termične prosojne folije in termične difuzne folije. Ta evropski standard določa tudi smernice za namestitev, uporabo in odlaganje prekrivnih folij. Opredeljuje običajno pričakovano življenjsko dobo in pravila za ocenjevanje preostalih možnosti uporabe v primeru poškodbe pred običajnim datumom konca uporabe.

The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags !".
The following technical changes have been made in comparison to EN 13206:2001:
— a minimum thickness of the film is fixed;
— the test methods have been updated as appropriate;
— this revision specifies also test methods for the determination of the chlorine and sulfur contents of
the films subjected to use and defines guidelines for installation, use and disposal;
— the classification for the durability of the covering films is extended to a further class.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements related to dimensional, mechanical, optical and
thermal characteristics of thermoplastic films used for covering permanent or temporary greenhouses
and walking tunnels and low tunnels used for forcing and semi-forcing vegetable, fruit and flower crops.
Lay-flat perforated cover films are also in the scope of this European Standard.
It specifies a classification for the durability of covering films and the test methods referred to in this
standard.
This European Standard specifies also test methods for the determination of the chlorine and sulfur
contents of films subjected to use.
This European Standard is applicable to thermoplastic covering films used in agriculture and
horticulture in Europe, in the thickness range 20 µm up to more than 250 µm, based on polyethylene
and/or ethylene copolymers materials, of the following types: non-thermal films, thermal clear films
and thermal diffusing films.
This European Standard also defines guidance for installation, use and disposal of covering films. It
defines the conventional expected lifetime, as well as rules that allow evaluating the remaining use
potential in the event of a failure before the normal end-of-use date.
NOTE These rules allow estimating the residual value of the films. These provisions only apply to the film
itself and the damage it has undergone. Any other problem falls within the scope of professional practices and the
general terms and conditions of sale.
