Plastics - Sorted plastics wastes - Part 1: General characterisation
This document provides a scheme for the characterization of sorted plastics wastes, laying out those properties for which the supplying party of the waste makes information available to the receiving party. This document provides for a division of information between "Required Data", where a statement is required, and additional "Optional Data" as agreed between the supplying and receiving party.
This document is the general part of a series on sorted plastics wastes. This document does not cover the description of quality grades per polymer(s) and stream as well as test methods specific to each plastic waste stream; these aspects are addressed in the other parts of EN 15347.
Kunststoffe - Sortierte Kunststoffabfälle - Teil 1: Allgemeine Charakterisierung
Dieses Dokument stellt ein Schema für die Charakterisierung von sortierten Kunststoffabfällen bereit und legt die Eigenschaften fest, über die die liefernde Partei des Abfalls der erhaltenden Partei Informationen zur Verfügung stellt. Dieses Dokument stellt die Unterscheidung von Informationen in „geforderte Daten“, deren Angabe erforderlich ist, und „optionale Daten“, wie zwischen der liefernden Partei und der entgegennehmenden Partei vereinbart, bereit.
Dieses Dokument ist der allgemeine Teil einer Reihe zu sortierten Kunststoffabfällen. Dieses Dokument deckt die Beschreibung der Qualitätsstufen nach Polymer(en) und Strom sowie der Prüfverfahren, die für jeden Kunststoffabfallstrom spezifisch sind, nicht ab; diese Aspekte werden in den anderen Teilen von EN 15347 behandelt.
Plastiques - Déchets de plastiques triés - Partie 1: Caractérisation générale
Le présent document donne un cadre relatif à la caractérisation des déchets de plastiques triés, présentant les propriétés pour lesquelles la partie émettrice de ces déchets met des informations à la disposition de la partie réceptrice. Le présent document fait une distinction entre les « Données requises », pour lesquelles une déclaration est demandée, et les « Données optionnelles » supplémentaires qui sont fournies selon l’accord entre la partie émettrice et la partie réceptrice.
Le présent document constitue la partie générale d’une série sur les déchets de plastiques triés. Le présent document ne traite pas de la description des grades de qualité par polymère(s) et flux ni des méthodes d’essai spécifiques pour chaque flux de déchet de plastique, ces aspects étant traités dans les autres parties de l’EN 15347.

Introduction
Recycling of plastics waste is one type of material recovery process intended to save resources (virgin
materials, water and energy), while minimizing harmful emissions into air, water and soil as well as any
impacts on human health. In order to be meaningful, the environmental impact of recycling should be
assessed over the whole life cycle of the recycling system (from the waste generation point to the disposal
of final residues). To ensure that recycling constitutes the best environmental option for treating the
available waste, some prerequisites should preferably be met:
— recycling scheme being contemplated should generate lower environmental impacts than alternative
recovery options;
— existing or potential market outlets should be identified that will secure a sustainable industrial
recycling operation;
— collection and sorting schemes should be properly designed to deliver recyclable plastics waste
fractions fitting reasonably well with the available recycling technologies and with the (changing)
needs of the identified market outlets, preferably at minimum costs to society.
This document has been produced in accordance with the guidance produced by CEN on Environmental
Aspects and in accordance with CEN/TR 15353, Plastics — Recycled plastics — Guidelines for the
development of standards for recycled plastics.
NOTE CEN/TR 15353 considers the general environmental aspects which are specific to the recycling process.
It is often impossible to trace back each individual product at the end user stage and to check whether
the product has been used correctly through its life. Consequently products are out of industrial control
for a period of time. It is possible that during this period contamination with other materials may occur
that could affect the product's suitability for recycling into the intended application.

1 Scope
This document provides a scheme for the characterization of sorted plastics wastes, laying out those
properties for which the supplier of the waste shall make information available to the purchaser, and
appropriate test methods where applicable. The scheme provides for a division of information between
“Required characteristics”, where a statement is required and additional “Optional characteristics”
which the supplier should provide based on the contractual agreements.
This document is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.
NOTE This document does not cover the characterization of plastics recyclates.
