CEN/TC 132/WG 18 - Terminology

This European Standard contains definitions of terms which are helpful for the communication within the aluminium industry, authorities and subcontractors dealing with the shipment, recovery or disposal of residues. It only contains residues which are specific for the aluminium industry. Residues which generally occur with identical inherent properties in other industries and private households are defined in prEN 13965-1.
This European Standard does not contain terms and definitions related to aluminium scrap; such terms and de-finitions can be found in prEN 12258-3.
