The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical commit
11、tees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the In

In particular the different approval criteria needed for the d
13、ifferent types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see http:/www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

18、thetic polymers, natural polymers and additives that can include biobased materials.“Biobased plastics” refers to plastics that contain materials wholly or partly of biogenic origin.In the ISO 16620 series, the “biobased content” of biobased plastics refers to the amount of the biobased carbon conte
19、nt, the amount of the biobased synthetic polymer content or the amount of the biobased mass content only.

27、 follows:a) Principle 1: labels and declarations shall be accurate, verifiable, relevant and not misleading.b) Principle 2: procedures and requirements for labels and declarations shall not be prepared, adopted, or applied with a view to, or with the effect of, creating unnecessary obstacles to inte
28、rnational trade.c) Principle 3: labels and declarations shall be based on scientific methodology that is sufficiently thorough and comprehensive to support the claim and that produces results that are accurate and reproducible.d) Principle 4: information concerning the procedure, methodology, and an
29、y criteria used to support labels and declarations shall be available and provided upon request to all interested parties.e) Principle 5: the development of labels and declarations shall take into consideration all relevant aspects of the claim they are intended for.f) Principle 6: labels and declar
30、ations shall not inhibit innovation which maintains or has the potential to improve environmental performance and sustainability.g) Principle 7: any administrative requirements or information demands related to labels and declarations shall be limited to those necessary to establish conformance with
31、 applicable criteria and standards of the labels and declarations.h) Principle 8: the process of developing labels and declarations should include an open, participatory consultation with interested parties. Reasonable efforts should be made to achieve a consensus throughout the process.i) Principle
32、 9: information on the aspects of products and services relevant to a label or declaration shall be available to purchasers and potential purchasers from the party making the label or declaration.The requirements for self-declared environmental claims, including statements, symbols and graphics, reg
33、arding products, specified in ISO 14021 shall be satisfied.Examples of labelling systems are given in Annex A.2 ISO 2017 All rights reservedBS ISO 16620-5:2017ISO 16620-5:2017(E)6 Declarations of the biobased content6.1 PrincipleThe declaration of the biobased content according to this document is a
34、pplicable to plastic products and plastic materials, polymer resins, monomers or additives which are made from biobased and/or fossil-based constituents.The biobased carbon content, the biobased synthetic polymer content or the biobased mass content determined by applying ISO 16620-2, ISO 16620-3 or
35、 ISO 16620-4, respectively, shall be declared only by using the format described in 6.2, 6.3, or 6.4, respectively.The responsible party for placing biobased plastic products on the market should verify if the presence of the label could be erroneously considered as a proof of suitability to organic
36、 recovery (i.e. composting and anaerobic digestion according to ISO 18606 or equivalent specifications) by the consumers and, therefore, bring to unaware wrong waste separation behaviour. If there is a risk of misinterpretation, for example, for disposable single-use products placed on those markets
37、 where organic waste collection has been already implemented, then the responsible party should adopt further forms of communication to the consumers to make them aware of the recovery characteristics of the biobased product and, therefore, reduce the risks of waste misplacement caused by misinterpr
38、etation of the label and term “biobased”.6.2 Declaration of the biobased carbon contentThe declaration of the biobased carbon content, expressed as a percentage of the total organic carbon, xBTOC, shall consist of a statement, where xBTOCis the value determined according to ISO 16620-2, rounded to t
39、he nearest integer.The declaration of the biobased carbon content, expressed as a percentage of the total carbon, xBTC, shall consist of a statement, where xBTCis the value determined according to ISO 16620-2, rounded to the nearest integer.Information shall be provided as follows:a) product identif
40、ication;b) biobased carbon content according to ISO 16620-2;1) expressed as a percentage of TOC: X %and2) expressed as a percentage of TC: X %c) “this declaration is in agreement with ISO 16620-5”.6.3 Declaration of the biobased synthetic polymer contentThe declaration of the biobased synthetic poly
41、mer content, expressed as a percentage of mass, mBSP, shall consist of a statement, where mBSPis the value determined according to ISO 16620-3, rounded to the nearest integer.Information shall be provided as follows:a) product identification;b) biobased synthetic polymer content according to ISO 166

Congress reauthorized and strengthened the program in the 2008 Farm Bill to further promote the sale of biobased products. With the launch of thi
48、s new biobased product label, USDAs BioPreferred program is now comprised of two parts: a biobased product procurement preference program for federal agencies and a voluntary labelling initiative for the broad-scale marketing of biobased products.A.3 JBPAs BiomassPla Identification and Labelling sys

The system is based on the following:a) The Positive List System for all biobased synthetic polymers and its compounds, films, etc.b) The minimum value of the biobased synthetic polymer content is 25 % (by weight) of products measured by 14C measurement based on ISO 16620-2 and calculated based on ISO 16620-3.c) All com
