This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard
23、, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2005. This document supersedes EN 13428:2000. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Com
24、mission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This standard forms one of a series of standards and reports prepared under Mandate M
25、200 rev.3 and the Second Standardisation Mandate M317 given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association to support the European Council and Parliament Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste 94/62/EC. The procedure for applying this standard in conjunction with the o
26、ther mandated standards and reports is specified in EN 13427. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard : Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France
27、, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 13428:2004 (E) 5 Introduction The Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste (94/62/EC) defines requ
28、irements for the manufacturing and composition of packaging. This document amplifies these requirements with respect to reduction of packaging at source and the minimisation of dangerous substances or preparations as they may arise from waste management operations. The European Standard EN 13427 pro
29、vides a framework within which this and four other standards may be used together to support a claim that a packaging is in compliance with the essential requirements for packaging to be placed on the market as required by the Directive. NOTE The Directive 94/62/EC is amended by European Parliament
30、and Council Directive 2004/12/EC of 11 February 2004. The purpose of packaging is the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of products. A major role is prevention of product damage and/or product waste. Reduction of packaging at source is one of several options for reducing t
31、he amount of used packaging for final disposal. In order to save resources and minimise waste, the whole system in which the packaging takes part should be optimised. This document presents a framework for self-assessment to determine whether the requirements of this standard have been met. Its appr
32、oach is similar to that of systems standards such as the EN ISO 9000 series or an environmental management system such as EN ISO 14001. EN 13428:2004 (E) 6 1 Scope This document specifies a procedure for assessment of packaging to ensure that the weight and/or volume of its material content is at th
33、e minimum commensurate with the maintenance of : functionality throughout the supply and user chain ; safety and hygiene for both product and user/consumer ; acceptability of the packed product to the user/consumer. This document also specifies the methodology and procedure for determining the prese
34、nce of the four heavy metals named in article 11 of the packaging and packaging waste Directive 94/62/EC and for determining the presence and minimisation of any dangerous substances or preparations if they are present in packaging and are likely to be released into the environment as a result of wa
35、ste management operations. The procedures are referenced in CR 13695-1 and CEN/TR 13695-2. NOTE The substitution of one packaging material by another is not a basis for source reduction. This document cannot by itself provide presumption of conformity. The procedure for applying this document is con
36、tained in EN 13427. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
