Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Environmental aspects of aluminium products - General guidelines for their inclusion in standards

This European Standard gives guidelines for standard writers who draft standards dealing with aluminium products or dealing with semi finished products which are intended to be used for aluminium products. It applies to all applications of aluminium products
It provides a structure on how to identify and consider environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts of aluminium products throughout their life cycle, when writing standards taking into account the specific properties of aluminium and specific aspects of the life cycle of aluminium products.
It gives guidance on how the life cycle of aluminium products should be taken into account, considering the provisions given in EN ISO 14044.
It also explains cases where restrictions on aluminium products, which are motivated by environmental considerations, are not appropriate and gives guidance on how to avoid unnecessary requirements.
This European Standard does not include health and safety aspects related to the production, use or recycling of aluminium products.

Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Umweltaspekte von Aluminiumerzeugnissen - Allgemeine Leitlinien für ihre Berücksichtigung in Normen

Diese Europäische Norm gibt Richtlinien für Normenersteller zur Erarbeitung von Normen über Aluminium¬erzeugnisse oder Halbzeuge für Aluminiumerzeugnisse. Sie gilt für alle Anwendungsbereiche von Aluminium¬erzeugnissen.
Sie liefert eine Struktur, wie bei der Erstellung von Normen Umweltaspekte und potenzielle Umweltaus¬wirkungen von Aluminiumerzeugnissen während ihres gesamten Lebenswegs zu ermitteln und zu berücksich¬tigen sind, unter Berücksichtigung der besonderen Eigenschaften von Aluminium und der Besonderheiten des Lebenswegs von Aluminiumerzeugnissen.
Sie gibt eine Anleitung, wie der Lebensweg von Aluminiumerzeugnissen unter Einbeziehung der Festlegungen in EN ISO 14044 berücksichtigt werden sollte.
Das Dokument erläutert zusätzlich Fälle, in denen durch umweltbezogene Überlegungen motivierte Ein¬schränkungen bei Aluminiumerzeugnissen nicht angebracht sind, und gibt eine Anleitung zur Vermeidung unnötiger Anforderungen.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt nicht die mit der Herstellung, Verwendung oder dem Recycling von Aluminiumerzeugnissen verbundenen Aspekte des Arbeitsschutzes.

Aluminium et alliages d'aluminium - Aspects environnementaux des produits d'aluminium - Lignes directrices générales pour leur intégration dans les normes

La présente Norme européenne donne des directives aux rédacteurs de normes qui rédigent des projets de norme traitant de produits d’aluminium ou de produits semi-finis prévus pour être utilisés dans des produits d’aluminium. Elle concerne toutes les applications de ces derniers.
Elle fournit une structure permettant d’identifier et de tenir compte des aspects et des impacts environnementaux potentiels des produits d’aluminium, tout au long de leur cycle de vie, lors de la rédaction des normes traitant des propriétés spécifiques de l’aluminium et des aspects spécifiques du cycle de vie des produits d’aluminium.
Elle donne des directives sur la manière dont il convient de prendre en compte le cycle de vie des produits d’aluminium, en considérant les dispositions de l’EN ISO 14044.
Elle explique également les cas où les restrictions sur les produits d’aluminium, motivées par des considérations environnementales, ne sont pas appropriées et fournit des lignes directrices sur la manière d’éviter des exigences non nécessaires.
La présente Norme européenne n’inclut pas les aspects relatifs à la santé et à la sécurité, liés à la production, à l’utilisation ou au recyclage des produits d’aluminium.

[EN ISO 14001:2004] 3.5 life cycle consecutive and interlinked stages of a product system, from raw material acquisition or generation from natural resources to their final disposal
[EN ISO 14044:2006] 4 General guidance 4.1 Practical procedure on how to introduce provisions dealing with environmental aspects into European Standards 4.1.1 Many European Standards about aluminium products exist without any provisions to make the user aware of environmental aspects and potential environmental impacts. This need not lead directly to products which are less environmentally friendly, because the designer has other incentives to consider environmental aspects, such as economic considerations, legal requirements etc. However, the inclusion of environmental provisions encourages the consideration of environmental aspects in cases where such incentives do not exist. 4.1.2 In many cases it is sufficient to include the necessary provisions when revising European Standards about aluminium products by the inclusion of a new clause or subclause where the relevant environmental aspects are formulated.
EXAMPLE In EN 13981-1:2003 requirements and guidance on aluminium profiles for railway application are formulated, without mentioning possible environmental aspects. For the next revision of this European Standard it would be advisable to include an additional clause stating that mass savings generate savings of electricity or diesel during the whole use stage of the railway car of about 30 years. Each weight reduction of 1 kg in a railway car saves about 60 kg to 80 kg CO2 equivalents of green-house gas for long distance trains and 100 kg to 150 kg CO2 equivalents of green-house gas for short distance trains, trams and subway trains [1], [2]
4.1.3 Environmental impacts related to a product can be affected due to product standardization. This aspect should be balanced against other factors, such as:  product function;  performance;  safety and health;  cost;  marketability;  quality;  legal and regulatory requirements.
