BS EN 13592:2017EN 13592:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the general characteristics, test methods and requirements for sacks, bags and bin liners, made from plastic films, used for household waste collection, or household selective waste collection including the collection

18、 of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting). For the purpose of this European Standard biodegradable and compostable sacks, including ties if any, are those which comply with EN 13432. This European Standard applies only to sacks, bags and bin liners for which the f

19、irst use is for household waste collection or household selective waste collection. This European Standard does not apply to sacks used to protect bins and that are not lifted at the emptying operation and thus do not require the same mechanical characteristics. NOTE For editorial reasons, in this d

20、ocument the terms “sack” and “bag” are synonymous. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

31、ongitudinal direction MD direction parallel to the extrusion machine direction of the film 3.15 transverse direction TD direction perpendicular to the extrusion machine direction of the film 4 Designation Sacks are designated using the following information: a) use, i.e. household waste collection s

32、acks, household waste selective collection sacks, specific test loads (if any) and, any other information if there is an agreement between the supplier and customer; b) the dimensions, in millimetres (mm) (see Clause 5); c) the type: 1) standard sacks; 2) drawtight sacks; 3) T-shirt sacks; 4) strap

33、sacks; 5) four flap sacks; 6) star sealed sacks. NOTE The above list of types of sacks is neither restrictive nor exhaustive. BS EN 13592:2017EN 13592:2017 (E) 7 d) the abbreviated term of the plastic material from which the sack is made of, in accordance with EN ISO 1043-1, and the colour of the sa

34、ck; Colour is a basic information for the designation of a sack, e.g. black, blue, green, white. When no pigment, filler or coloured master batch is incorporated in the resin, it is designated as “neutral”. When a more accurate definition of colour is needed, it should be specified in the contract w

35、ith a reference to the relevant specification or standard. e) the nominal thickness of the film, Nt, in micrometres (m); f) a reference to this European Standard, i.e. EN 13592; g) a reference to EN 13432, for sacks for the separate collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegrada

36、tion and composting). EXAMPLES OF DESIGNATION EXAMPLE 1 Household waste collection sack, 700 mm x 1 100 mm, standard, in polyethylene, white, 40 m thick: “Household waste collection sack EN 13592 700/1100 - Standard - PE - White 40 m” EXAMPLE 2 Household selective waste collection drawtight sack, 60

37、0 mm x 800 mm, in polyethylene, neutral, 30 m thick for specific load of 4 kg both for drop test and closing device test: “Household selective waste collection sack for 4 kg EN 13592 600/800 - Drawtight - PE - Neutral 30 m “ EXAMPLE 3 Organic waste collection with biodegradable and compostable sacks

38、, 500 x 600 mm, standard, neutral 20 m: “Biodegradable and compostable sack EN 13592 EN 13432 500/600 - Standard - Neutral 20 m” 5 Dimensions The dimensions of the sacks shall be agreed between the supplier and the customer, unless otherwise specified in this standard. The dimensions of sacks are gi

39、ven by two separate numbers, the first number giving the useful width, P, in millimetres, (see 3.12) and the second number the useful length, L, in millimetres (see 3.11). EXAMPLE Reference 500x700 (500/700) for a sack with P = 500 mm and L = 700 mm. 6 General Clause 7 gives the requirements for sac

40、ks for the collection of household waste except for the separate collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting) and the corresponding test methods. In order to take into account the specificities of biodegradable waste and organic recycling, Clause 8 gives th

41、e requirements for sacks for the separate collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting). The corresponding test methods are given either in 7.2 when they are identical to those for sacks covered in Clause 7 or in 8.2 for the specific test methods or any devi

42、ation from the test methods given in 7.2. Sampling shall be performed according to Annex B.
