Materials obtained from end of life tyres - Quality criteria for the selection of whole tyres, for recovery and recycling processes

This Technical Specification provides criteria for the selection of Whole End-of-Life Tyres (WELTs) under different classes based on their size. It also provides criteria for determination of their suitability to be used in recycling and material recovery processes.  
The processes described in this document include sorting of WELTs in order to determine their acceptance in recovery and recycling processes.
Criteria regarding the reuse of tyres to be mounted again in a vehicle are not addressed in this document.
This Technical Specification does not cover the operational performance of the applications or the requirements of the materials for certain applications, which are usually agreed between the manufacturer and the customer.
Solid tyres are excluded from the scope of this document.

Materialien aus Altreifen - Qualitätskriterien für die Auswahl von ganzen Reifen für Verwertung und Recycling-Prozesse

Diese Europäische Norm enthält Kriterien für die Auswahl von ganzen Altreifen (WELT) verschiedener Klassen anhand ihrer Größe. Darüber hinaus enthält es Kriterien zur Bestimmung der Eignung für Recycling und werkstoffbezogene Verwertungsprozesse.
Die in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Verfahren schließen die Sortierung der WELT ein, um deren Akzeptanz für Verwertungs- und Recycling-Prozesse festzustellen.
Kriterien für die Wiederverwendung von Reifen zur erneuten Montage an ein Fahrzeug sind nicht Bestandteil dieses Dokuments.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für die operative Leistung der Anwendungen oder die Anforderungen an die Werkstoffe für bestimmte Anwendungen, welche in der Regel zwischen dem Hersteller und dem Kunden vereinbart werden.
Vollgummireifen sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokuments ausgenommen.

Snovi iz izrabljenih avtomobilskih gum - Merila kakovosti za izbiro celih pnevmatik, za postopke predelave in recikliranja

Ta tehnična specifikacija podaja merila za izbiro celih izrabljenih pnevmatik (WELT) v različnih razredih glede na njihovo velikost. Podaja tudi merila za določanje njihove primernosti za uporabo v postopkih recikliranja in predelave materiala.   Postopki, opisani v tem dokumentu, vključujejo razvrščanje pnevmatik WELT za določanje njihove sprejemljivosti za postopke predelave in recikliranja. Merila glede ponovne uporabe pnevmatik na vozilih niso obravnavana v tem dokumentu. Ta tehnična specifikacija ne zajema operativnega delovanje uporabe ali zahtev materialov za nekatere načine uporabe, o katerih se običajno dogovorita proizvajalec in kupec. Trdne pnevmatike so izključene iz področja uporabe tega dokumenta.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to establish general and specific criteria for the use of whole tyres in
recycling processes and in material recovery into different applications, mainly in the field of civil
engineering.
This document does not provide any criteria to select whole tyres to be reused in their original
application, i.e. to be mounted on a vehicle. See Figure 1 for an overview of the whole process.

Figure 1 — General scheme of the process to generate end of life tyres and their final processing
The criteria established in this document focus on determining the conditions under which a whole end
of life tyre (WELT) can be used for materials recovery.
From a legal point of view, in Europe, end of life tyres are considered as waste, listed in the European
Waste Catalogue with code 16.01.03, tyres removed from vehicles.
The criteria for establishing when ELT cease to be waste are ultimately drafted in the EU legislation, by
the relevant Directives and their further adoption into national regulations.
The purpose of this document is to facilitate those who make the decision to establish the end of the
waste status. This document also aims to overcome the limitations to the use of WELT in certain

applications and to clarify the conditions under which they can be used for recycling or recovery
process in compliance with all conditions ensuring no negative impact to health and environment.
The document aims to increase consumer confidence in the applications of used tyres and facilitate the
development of the market by the introduction of a specific set of parameters to ensure the quality and
consistency of whole tyres to be used for both in recycling and recovery applications.
Compliance with the criteria set in this standard, results in the protection to the human health and the
environment.
WARNING — This document does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
