Plastics - Recycled Plastics - Characterisation of plastics wastes

This European Standard provides a scheme for the characterisation of plastics wastes, laying out those properties for which the supplier of the waste shall make information available to the purchaser, and identifying test methods where applicable. The scheme provides for a division of information between "Required Data", where a statement is required, even if it is "unclassified", and additional "Optional Data" which the supplier may choose to provide if it adds value to the waste.
This standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.
NOTE   This standard does not cover the characterisation of plastics recyclates.

Kunststoffe - Kunststoff-Rezyklate - Charakterisierung von Kunststoffabfällen

Diese Europäische Norm liefert ein Schema für die Charakterisierung von Kunststoffabfällen, wonach jene Eigenschaften umrissen werden, für die der Lieferant des Abfalls dem Käufer Informationen zugänglich machen und, falls anwendbar, Prüfverfahren für deren Identifizierung angeben muss. Das Schema sorgt für eine Unter¬scheidung der Informationen zwischen „Geforderten Daten“, für die eine Angabe gefordert wird, auch wenn sie „nicht klassifiziert“ lautet, und zusätzlichen „Freiwilligen Daten“, die der Lieferant wahlweise bereitstellen kann, wenn das den Wert des Abfalls erhöht.
Diese Norm beeinträchtigt bei ihrer Anwendung keinerlei geltende Vorschriften.
ANMERKUNG      Die vorliegende Norm befasst sich nicht mit der Charakterisierung von Kunststoff-Rezyklaten.

Plastiques - Plastiques recyclés - Caractérisation des déchets de plastiques

La présente Norme européenne donne un cadre relatif la caractérisation des déchets de plastiques,
présentant des propriétés pour lesquelles le fournisseur de ces déchets doit mettre des informations a la
disposition de l'acheteur, et le cas échéant, identifier des méthodes d'essai. Le cadre scinde les informations
en « Données requises », pour lesquelles un état est demandé, meme s'il est « non classé », et en
« Données optionnelles » supplémentaires, que le fournisseur peut choisir de fournir, s'il elles valorisent les
déchets.
La présente norme est applicable sans préjudice de toute réglementation existante.
NOTE La présente norme ne couvre pas la caractérisation des recyclats de plastiques.

EN 15347:2007 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 15347:2007) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 “Plastics”, the secretariat of which is held by NBN. 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 June 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2008. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This standard is one part of a series of CEN publications on Plastics Recycling which is structured as follows:

EN 15347:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Recycling of plastics waste is a one type of material recovery process intended to save resources (virgin raw materials, water, and energy), while minimising harmful emissions into air, water and soil as well as any impacts on human health. The environmental impact of recycling has to 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 standard 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.
