Foreword
This document (CR 13695-2:2002) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN /TC 261, "Packaging", the
secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative annex A, which is an integral part of this document.

Introduction
The European Commission gave a mandate to CEN for promoting the preparation of European Standards and
CEN reports in order to support the application of the Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994, on Packaging and
Packaging Waste, in particular to elaborate a CEN Report ‘Requirements for measuring and verifying heavy metals
and other dangerous substances present in packaging, and their release into the environment’.
Part 1 of the CEN-Report ‘Requirements for measuring and verifying the four heavy metals present in packaging,
and their release into the environment’ has been previously released, (CR 13695-1) due to the priority given in
Article 11(1) of the Directive to the four heavy metals explicitly mentioned: Lead, Cadmium, Chromium VI, Mercury.
This document is Part 2 to the CEN Report CR 13695-1 related to other dangerous substances. It refers to the end-
of-life treatment of packaging by incineration or landfilling. Only dangerous substances which are intentionally
added for functional use are considered.
The task of the Ad Hoc working group ‘Heavy metals and other dangerous substances’ had been attributed by a
resolution of CEN TC 261 SC 4.
Have been considered for the development of this work :
the existing European or national regulations (Directives) ;
the CEN standardisation on waste TC 292 ;
the OECD environment monograph series.
A detailed information on the regulative context is given in Annex A ; however this work is expected to be
compatible with any further evolution of the related regulation, as it is independent of any specific case.
With regard to the number and diversity of substances, which may be considered as dangerous to the environment,
there is no currently available general standardised methods for the systematic measurements of their presence in
ashes, emissions or leachates, when packaging or residues from management operations or packaging waste are
incinerated or landfilled. The task of elaborating specific standardised methods for each substance and applicable
in each practical case would be extremely complex and time consuming .
A simple and efficient assessment method suitable for small and medium sized suppliers of packaging is proposed,
based preferentially on an upstream approach (CR 13695/1, sub-clause 8.1).
Guidelines are provided to identify and minimise dangerous substances and a methodology is proposed to assess
the compliance with the requirements of the Directive.
Work has been initiated on an inventory for the purpose of simplification of the assessment procedure, particularly
for small and medium sized companies.

1 Scope
This document is intended to be of practical use, and to enable efficient application of the Directive 94/62/EC, even

compliance with the Directive.

3 Terms and definitions
The definitions set out in Article 3 of Directive 94/62/EC shall apply.
For the purposes of this CEN Report, the following terms and definitions apply :
3.1
incidental presence
result of a non intentional introduction of a substance in a packaging or packaging component
3.2
intentional introduction
act of deliberately utilising a substance in the formulation of a packaging or a packaging component where its
continued presence is desired in the final packaging or packaging component to provide a specific characteristic,
appearance, or quality.
Note: The incidental presence of impurities in recycled materials used for the manufacture of new packaging
materials is not considered intentional introduction.
3.3
packaging component
any part of packaging that can be separated by hand or by using simple physical means [EN 13193:2000]

4 The packaging and packaging waste Directive 94/62/EC requirements
st
4.1 The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive 94/62/EC explains in the 21 recital of the preamble that :
"the presence of noxious metals and other substances in packaging should be limited in view of their environmental
impact (in particular in the light of their likely presence in emissions or ash when packaging is incinerated or in
leachate when packaging is landfilled)."
4.2 Article 1 of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive 94/62/EC requires the responsible body to :
"prevent any impact on the environment (…) or to reduce such impact, thus providing a high level of environmental
protection."
4.3 Article 10 refers to Standardisation
"in particular relating to (…), the methods for measuring and verifying the presence of heavy metals and other
dangerous substances in the packaging and their release into the environment from packaging and packaging
waste."
4.4 Annex II, paragraph 1, requires that :
"packaging shall be designed, produced and commercialised in such a way as to permit its reuse or recovery,
including recycling, and to minimise its impact on the environment when packaging waste or residues from
packaging management operations are disposed of."
4.5 In addition Annex II, paragraph 1, requires that :
"packaging shall be so manufactured, that the presence of noxious metals and other hazardous substances and
materials as constituents of the packaging material or of any of the packaging components is minimised with regard
to their presence in emissions, ash or leachate when packaging or residues from management operations or
packaging waste are incinerated or landfilled."
5 New elements to be taken in account
5.1 The Amsterdan Treaty
Since the adoption of the Directive 94/62 of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste, the
environmental aspects have been clearly emphasised in European Union policy. The Amsterdam treaty of 1997
states that environmental aspects have to be taken in account in all other domains, as transport industry,
employment or energy.
5.2 The Directive on the landfill of waste
More generally, Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste was adopted on
