16、g”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by January 2005. Th
17、is document supersedes EN 13427:2000. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission 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
18、integral part of this document. This standard provides the procedure for applying a series of standards and reports prepared under Mandate M 200 rev.3 and the second standardisation Mandate M 317, given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association to support the European
19、 Parliament and Council Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste 94/62/EC. 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,
20、Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 13427:2004 (E) 4 Introduction Packaging is required to conform to a significant range
21、 of functional and legal demands. This standard addresses compliance with requirements of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC). This Directive states in the preamble : “whereas in order to minimise the impact of packaging and packaging waste on the environment and to avoid barriers
22、 to trade and distortion of competition, it is also necessary to define the essential requirements governing the composition and the reusable and recoverable (including recyclable) nature of packaging“. NOTE The directive 94/62/EC is amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/12/EC of
23、 11 February 2004. The essential requirements as defined in article 9 and annex II of the Directive, together with the specific restrictions relating to heavy metals contained in article 11, are focused on the environmental impact of packaging after use. This standard and the other five mandated sta
24、ndards and one mandated CEN Report (in two parts) which have been developed to assist the presumption of compliance with the essential requirements are consequently designed to meet this specific aspect. Compliance with the essential requirements through the use of European Standards, will involve t
25、he supplier, in cooperation with all other entities in the packaging chain, in the consideration of this standard in addition to those referred to in the previous paragraph. Although the essential requirements of the directive are focused on the effects of packaging after use, it is necessary that t
26、hese individual but associated Reports or Standards be addressed prior to placing the packaging and packed products on the market. Account should be taken of the potential change in releases to the environment that will result from introducing the used packaging and packaging waste to the recovery p
27、rocesses. A CEN Report relates to the presence and concentration of dangerous substances and preparations including the four specified heavy metals, whilst five mandated standards address concepts of source reduction, reuse and recovery. Their application is capable of reducing the impact of packagi
28、ng disposed of as waste but they are not necessarily simultaneously applicable to the same unit of packaging. These standardized procedures, which are listed in clause 5 of this standard, can be mutually exclusive in some combinations and circumstances and it is therefore essential that in developin
29、g a strategy for the application of any one of these processes its relationship with the others be taken into account. For this reason, although dedicated standards have been developed for five of these concepts and a CEN Report prepared to assist the assessment of heavy metals, this sixth standard
30、has been introduced to govern the relationship between these assessments. Its purpose is to establish the overall methodology for a set of measures that will enable those responsible for the placing of packaging or packed products on the European market to do so with a presumption of compliance with
31、 the essential requirements of the Directive. It is recommended that the procedures and record keeping specified in this standard be applied as part of a formal quality management system such as those specified in the EN ISO 9000 series or an environmental management system such as EN ISO 14001.

38、 apply. 3.1 supplier entity responsible for placing packaging or packed product on the market NOTE The term “supplier“ in normal usage can relate to various points in a supply chain. For the purpose of this standard it relates to any point in the supply chain where a transaction relating to packagin
39、g or packed product takes place. 3.2 packaging component part of packaging that can be separated by hand or by using simple physical means EN 13427:2004 (E) 6 4 Rationale and methodology 4.1 General approach The relationship between the essential requirements contained in the EC Packaging Directive
40、and the standards or reports containing the criteria for assessment is shown in annex A, and particularly in Table A.1. The reference numbers in section 3 of Table A.1 refer to the numbers in Table 1 that show the relationship between the standards and reports. Each of the standards and the report o
41、n heavy metals and other dangerous substances identified in Table 1 has been elaborated to enable the supplier to assess, through the use of a check list, conformance with the requirements relevant to its own particular procedure. Information annexes amplify the nature of the requirements and provid
42、e guidance on the methodology of assessment. The supplier is required to select, from these, the appropriate assessment procedures for any particular packaging taking account of design requirements such as the functional requirements of that packaging, including safety, hygiene and consumer acceptan
43、ce of the packed product. The selection will include identification of whether the packaging is intended to be reused and consideration of interactions with other standardized requirements. Consideration of such interaction may highlight the fact that optimization of the effect of one procedure may
44、require moderation in the application of others. A significant element of selecting and applying the separate standards will be to determine the most appropriate balance between them for any particular application. It is recommended that the supplier should apply these principles as an integral part
45、 of his/her formal management system, e.g. by incorporation of the procedures into an existing EN ISO 9001 or EN ISO 14001, in order to improve the environmental performance of the operation and to provide the opportunity for continuous improvement of the performance of the packaging placed on the m
46、arket.

48、ubstances in packaging The assessment of environmental impact from the four heavy metals in packaging after incineration or landfilling is addressed in CR 13695-1. Particular attention should be paid to the concept of the component in the application of the recommendations of this report. Dangerous substances and preparations are defined in a number of European Directives. Their presence in emissions, ash and leachate from the waste management operations of incineration and land filling is also covered by legislation. Given this, the app
