CEN/TC 172/WG 2 - Standard grades of recovered paper
The continuing objective of the working group is to review, on an ongoing basis, the nomenclature for the European Standard describing standard grades of 'Paper for Recycling (PfR)' be defining their composition and exclusions, with a view to this being updated at the next periodic review. It is not the purpose of this kind of European standard to specify all the grades of recovered paper that exist in the different markets but rather to define those grades commonly traded in the markets of the European Union (EU). A new objective of the working group is to establish the basic sampling strategies and testing methodologies (in both laboratory and practical situations) to measure moisture content, inclusion levels of non-fibrous materials (predominantly plastics and glass) and inclusion levels of inappropriate fibrous material in the commonly traded grades of 'Paper for Recycling (PfR)', as defined in current revision of EN 643. As secondary objective, ahead of the next systematic review, the working group will also: - identify errors, omissions and issues arising from the current revision of the standard - identify potential future requirements of the standard.

General Information
This document provides guidance on the interpretation of Clause 2.2 “prohibited materials” of EN 643:2014 and provides definitions and examples to help the users to meet EN 643 requirements. It does not add to, subtract from, or in any way modify the requirements of the EN 643 standard. This document does not prescribe mandatory approaches to implementation.
This document does not modify Clause 5.2 of EN 643.

This document describes a procedure to gravimetrically determine the physical composition of paper and board for recycling by manually separating/sorting the individual components (including any unwanted materials) and determining the relative masses.
- Standard11 pagesEnglish languagesale 10% offe-Library read for1 day
This document specifies a method of obtaining representative samples from a lot of paper and board for recycling for testing to determine whether or not its composition and quality complies with the requirements of EN 643 and/or other specifications.
This document also specifies the positioning of probes, when in situ measurements are performed.
It defines the sampling procedures which apply when sampling is carried out to resolve compliance issues and commercial disputes between buyer and seller relating to a lot of paper and board for recycling, at any point in the value chain, where those procedures are not defined in the contract between buyer and seller.
This document is not specifically intended for routine monitoring of processes or quality, but the procedures described may be used to form the basis of an agreement between supplier and buyer.
This document is not applicable if the material is not intended for recycling.
The method is not intended for determining the variability within a lot, however the general sampling principles can be applied.

This European Standard defines grades of paper and board for recycling used as raw material for recycling in the manufacture of paper and board products in the paper industry.
This European Standard also specifies tolerances for unwanted materials as well as the composition of paper and board for recycling. Unusable materials (prohibited and unwanted materials) are clearly defined for all people involved in the management of paper and board for recycling.
