European foreword
This document (prEN 17988-1:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 466
“Circularity and recyclability of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment”, the secretariat of which is
held by NEN.

EN 17988 consists of the following parts, under the general title Circular design of fishing gear and
aquaculture equipment:
• Part 1: General requirements and guidance
• Part 2: User manual and labelling
• Part 3: Technical requirements
• Part 4: Environmental and circularity requirements and guidelines
• Part 5: Circular business models
• Part 6: Digitalization of gear and components

Introduction
Directive (EU) 2019/904 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reduction of the
impact of certain plastic products on the environment (“Single Use Plastic directive”, SUP) lays down
rules on different plastic products, including fishing gear and aquaculture equipment containing
plastics, and sets requirement to the Member States to establish Extended Producer Responsibility
schemes (EPR schemes).
In 2021 the Commission Implementing Decision M/574 on a standardization request to the European
Committee for Standardization as regards circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment
in support of Directive (EU) 2019/904 was approved in line with Article 8(9) of the Directive.
Based on the mandate M/574, a standard with six parts and a technical standard (TS) on terms and
definitions have been developed by CEN/TC 466.
The purpose of this series of documents is to provide stakeholders with requirements and guidelines
to address the different aspects of circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment,
encourage preparing for re-use and facilitate recyclability at end of use. The standard parts are
developed not only to support the Single Use Plastics directives (SUP), but the Port Reception
Facilities (PRF) Directive as well as the extended producer responsibility (EPR).
These requirements and guidelines for the circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment
containing plastics can be applied in the design, manufacturing, use and recycling of such fishing
gear/equipment.
This document, part 1 of the standard, describes the general principles of circular design of fishing
gear and aquaculture equipment (see Clause 4) . Additionally, it identifies the stakeholders of each
part of the series of standards on the circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment and
how the stakeholders are related to each other (see Clause 7). This document also illustrates how all
parts of this standards relates to each other (see subclauses 4.3 and 6.1).
The focus of these standard parts, and the mandate, is on circularity. Therefore, this document will
focus on the principles for retaining fishing gear and aquaculture equipment or parts thereof in the
circular economy for as many cycles as feasible, together with minimizing the negative impact of the
plastic and other components on the environment. It will provide general design criteria for
achieving this goal while balancing it with the impact on its performance (e.g. catchability or life
span). When implementing the requirements and guidance in these standard parts, balanced trade-
offs to other environmental issues therefore need to be taken into account.
The intention with this multipart standard is also to facilitate for organizations to contribute to the
UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDG):
• 9 Industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
• 12 Responsible consumption and production.
• 14 Life below water.
Specially SDG 14.1 is particularly relevant.
