BS EN 643:2014EN 643:2014 (E) 4 Introduction This document, the European list of standard grades of paper and board for recycling, is intended to be used by industry p
19、rofessionals, organisations and individuals with an interest in the paper-recycling sector. It is intended to assist them in the buying and selling of these raw materials, which are intended for recycling by the paper and board industry without the need of additional sorting prior to use at a paper
20、mill. The definition for prohibited materials and the limits for non-paper components provide guidance and support for Customs and Excise Officers who are required to differentiate these raw materials from waste in the context of supranational legislation on the control of waste shipments. Furthermo
21、re, it is recommended that this document is used at all national levels in all official reports and in the day-to-day operation of companies. It secures the quality of the supply of paper and board for recycling to the paper mills through responsible sourcing of the paper industrys raw materials. Th
22、e major criterion is the use of the product for paper recycling. To take account of this criterion, the English terminology of EN 643 has been amended by substituting the term “Recovered paper and board” by “Paper and board for recycling” in the title and throughout the document. The revision of EN
23、643 coincides with a fundamental change in waste legislation. The Waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EC 5) introduces a procedure for defining End-of-Waste (EoW) criteria, which a given waste stream need to fulfil in order to cease to be waste. The End-of-Waste criteria require compliance
24、with EN 643, the provision of information on material that has ceased to be waste and the implementation of a quality management system. It should be pointed out that the code numbers used to denote specific grades are not consecutive, as some grades have lost their importance in recent years. This
25、affects grades 1.08, 1.10, 2.09 and 3.07. Wherever possible, the classification of grades was not changed compared to the previous version of this standard. Finally, a limit for non-paper components is set for every grade, typically below 1,5 %, weight by weight. Much effort was given to the definit
26、ion of tolerance levels for non-paper components and unwanted materials. The definition of tolerance levels reduces the need for individual agreements between buyer and supplier. However, specific agreements between individual buyers and suppliers may be used. Higher tolerances lead to non-standard
27、grades. This document has been prepared and supported by the following European organisations: CEPI Confederation of European Paper Industries; ERPA European Recovered Paper Association; FEAD European Federation of Waste Management and Environmental Service. BS EN 643:2014EN 643:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope T
28、his 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 rec
29、ycling. Unusable materials (prohibited and unwanted materials) are clearly defined for all people involved in the management of paper and board for recycling. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 paper and board for recycling natur
30、al fibre based paper and board suitable for recycling and consisting of paper and board in any shape, products made predominately from paper and board, which may include other constituents that cannot be removed by dry sorting, such as coatings and laminates, spiral bindings, etc. 2.2 prohibited mat
31、erials any materials which represent a hazard for health, safety and environment, such as medical waste, contaminated products of personal hygiene, hazardous waste, organic waste including foodstuffs, bitumen, toxic powders and similar 2.3 non-paper components any foreign matter in paper and board f
32、or recycling, which is not a constituent part of the product and can be separated by dry sorting, such as: metal; plastic; glass; textiles; wood; sand and building materials; synthetic materials Note 1 to entry: Non paper components are part of the total amount of unwanted materials (see.2.7). 2.4 p
33、aper and board detrimental to production those papers and boards which have been recovered or treated in such a way that they are, for a basic or standard level of equipment, unsuitable as raw material for the manufacture of new paper and board products, or are actually damaging, or whose presence m
34、akes the whole consignment of paper unusable Note 1 to entry: For grades intended for deinking, all paper containing brown, unbleached fibres are considered detrimental to production. BS EN 643:2014EN 643:2014 (E) 6 Note 2 to entry: Some mills have developed their technology to handle grades, which
35、are detrimental to production in standard processes; therefore, the range of paper and board capable of being recycled is increasing. 2.5 paper and board not according to grade definition paper and board or products thereof which are not included in the description of the specific grade of paper and
36、 board for recycling Note 1 to entry: This could lead to regrading. 2.6 paper products suitable for deinking suitability for deinking is a characteristic of a printed-paper product Note 1 to entry: For details on how to make this evaluation, see “Assessment of Print Product Recyclability Deinkabilit
37、y Score” 3. 2.7 unwanted material outthrows material not suitable for the production of paper and board Note 1 to entry: The unwanted material may comprise: non-paper components; paper and board detrimental to production; paper and board not according to grade definition; paper products not suitable
38、 for deinking (if applicable). 3 Group classification Paper and board for recycling is classified as follows: Group 1: Ordinary grades; Group 2: Medium grades; Group 3: High grades; Group 4: Kraft grades; Group 5: Special grades. 4 Grade identification Grades of paper and board for recycling have be
39、en systematically numbered according to a numerical code system as follows: BS EN 643:2014EN 643:2014 (E) 7 In case of the main grades, replace the code of the subgrade by “00”. 5 General requirements 5.1 Source of the paper and board for recycling Paper and board mills may ask for a declaration fro
40、m the supplier about the origin of the material, in relation to national regulations or standard requirements relating to paper and board for recycling. The use of the “European Recovered Paper Identification System” (2008) is recommended. Paper and board for recycling originating from multi-materia
41、l collection systems, containing only material of a valuable, recyclable nature, shall be specifically marked. It is not permissible to mix it unmarked with other paper and board for recycling. Paper sorted from refuse collections is not suitable for use in the paper industry. 5.2 Prohibited materia
42、ls Prohibited materials, as defined in 2.2 are not permitted at all. 5.3 Unwanted materials In principle, paper and board for recycling should be supplied free of unwanted materials. The list of grades, however, specifies levels of tolerance for non-paper components and the total unwanted materials
43、(outthrows). The total value of unwanted materials is the combined percentage of all unwanted materials defined in 2.7. 5.4 Moisture content in paper and board for recycling In principle, paper and board for recycling will be supplied with moisture of not more than the naturally occurring level. Whe
44、re the moisture content is higher than 10 % (of air-dried weight), the additional weight in excess of 10 % may be claimed back with the method of testing and sampling to be agreed between buyer and seller. 5.5 Form of delivery Shredding of paper and board for recycling should be avoided and thus be
45、limited to reasons where confidentiality is required. If shredding cannot be avoided, the pieces should be left as large as possible. BS EN 643:2014EN 643:2014 (E) 8 5.6 Additional requirements for grades intended for deinking 5.6.1 Introduction The following requirements apply only to paper and boa
46、rd intended for deinking, and do not apply if paper and board for recycling is used in other paper recycling processes. 5.6.2 Age of newspapers If paper and board for recycling is intended to be used in a deinking process, the average age of the newspapers shall not exceed six months from the date o
47、f issue. This refers to the grades 1.09.00, 1.11.00, 2.01.00 and 2.02.01. 5.6.3 Paper products suitable for deinking Grades intended for deinking should consist of paper products suitable for deinking. Paper products not suitable for deinking belong to unwanted material. At the current state of know
48、ledge, this refers to most flexographic printing, inkjet, liquid toners and to some UV cured prints. NOTE If paper and board for recycling is not suitable for deinking it is usable in other paper recycling processes. Grades usually intended for deinking are: 1.06.00, 1.06.01, 1.06.02, 1.07.00, 1.09.
49、00, 1.11.00, 2.01.00, 2.02.01, 2.03.00, 2.03.01, 2.04.00, 2.04.01, 2.05.00, 2.05.01, 2.06.00, 2.06.01, 2.07.00, 2.07.01, 2.08.00, 2.12.00, 2.13.00, 3.01.00, 3.02.00, 3.03.00, 3.03.01, 3.04.00, 3.05.00, 3.06.00, 3.08.00, 3.09.00, 3.10.00, 3.10.01, 3.11.00, 3.11.01, 3.12.00, 5.05.00, 5.05.01, 5.09.00, 5.10.00 and 5.10.01. 6 Classifications The 5 groups of standard grades for paper and board for recycling are detailed in the following 5 tables. 6.1 Group 1, ordinary grades Table 1 Group 1, ordinary grades Code Name Description
