This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 4 December 2006 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 14541:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 155 "Plastics piping
systems and ducting systems", the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Recycling and processing technology has developed in such a way that utilisation of non-virgin plastic materials is
now possible under certain conditions, in spite of the lack of experience in the field of recycling plastics into life-long
products.
Environmental considerations by users, manufacturers and others have stimulated manufacturers to start collecting
experience in this area.
This document is based on the experience obtained at this time.
CEN/TC 155 decided to prepare this Technical Specification in order to have all relevant definitions and general
rules regarding utilisation of PVC-U, PP and PE non-virgin materials in one standard, which may serve as a
reference document and reduce unnecessary repetition in the product standards concerned.
For PVC-U this Technical Specification is based on the work undertaken in ISO TC 138 “Plastic pipes, fittings and
valves for the transport of fluids”.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this CEN Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.
