European foreword
This document (EN 17988-2:2024) 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.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2025, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by May 2025.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European

EN 17899-2:2024 (E)
Introduction
As part of the European Green Deal, launched in 2019, the European Commission introduced measures
to move to a climate neutral and circular economy, together with a digital transition. One of the targets
in the transition to a circular economy was to reduce the amount of waste released into the environment
by decreasing the amount of waste generated, increasing the amount of waste collected and re-
introducing the materials regenerated from waste into the production of new products.
Specifically, the accumulation of plastics in marine and other aquatic environments were addressed in
two directives:
— The revised Port Reception Facilities (PRF) Directive [1] encourages fishers and aquaculturists to
bring not only their own end-of-use gear but also bring ashore abandoned, lost or otherwise
discarded (ALD) fishing gear and aquaculture equipment, thus encouraging waste to be carried back
to port.
— The Single Use Plastics (SUP) Directive [2], which lays down rules concerning different plastic
products, including fishing gear and aquaculture equipment containing plastics, and sets
requirements to the Member States to establish Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes.
Concerning fishing gear, it also contains rules on minimum national annual collection rates, together
with reporting on fishing gear placed on the market and waste fishing gear collected in ports.
In 2021, the standardization request M/574 on the circular design of fishing gear [3] was passed by the
European Commission and the parliament and accepted by CEN, which forms the basis for this series of
documents (EN 17988 series). While the term ‘fishing gear’ is used predominantly in the SUP Directive
and M/574, both documents encompass aquaculture equipment.
The purpose of this series of documents is to provide stakeholders with requirements, recommendations
and guidelines to address the different aspects of circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture
equipment containing plastics, encourage preparing for reuse and facilitate recyclability at end-of-use.
These requirements are intended to be applied from the design phase across the entire life cycle of the
fishing gear and aquaculture equipment. This includes but is not limited to: manufacturing, use,
maintenance, repair, collection, sorting, preparation for recycling, reuse, remanufacture, disposal, uptake
of recycled content and recycling.
Although this standard is written for fishing gear and aquaculture equipment containing plastics, the
requirements, recommendations and guidelines are also applicable to other materials.
This series of documents does not address other important design criteria such as fishing or farming
efficiency. When implementing the requirements, recommendations and guidelines provided in these
documents, balanced trade-offs between all relevant criteria need to be taken into account.
This series of documents aims to contribute to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
[4]:
— 9 Industry, innovation, and infrastructure,
— 12 Responsible consumption and production,
— 14 Life below water, in particular target 14.1: ‘By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine
pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient
pollution.’
For a full outline of the parts of the standard, and how the parts relate to each other, see part 1.
Part 2 specifies the requirements, recommendations and guidelines for user manuals and labelling (and
other information) that accompanies circular designed fishing gear and aquaculture equipment. This will
enable traceability and proper management during the lifetime of fishing gear and aquaculture
equipment.
The aim of part 2 is to provide requirements, recommendations and guidelines for producers
(manufacturers and importers) of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment, netting and raw materials. In
addition, this part can also be relevant for other stakeholders, such as those involved in the end-of-use of
fishing gear and aquaculture equipment. Stakeholders that will need to be provided with user manuals
include fishers, aquaculture companies, collectors (of wasted gear), sorters, those who are doing
maintenance (including washing and cleaning), and distributors. Information that needs to be provided
to authorities can also be covered by user manuals or labelling.
