This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the Europ
20、ean Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive), see informative Annex Z, which is an integral part of this standard. This standard forms one of a series of standards and reports prepared under Mandat
21、e M 200 rev.3 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 other mandated standards and reports is s
22、pecified in EN 13427. This standard contains Annexes A and E which are normative and Annexes 9, C, D and Z which are informative 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 March 2001, and con

STDWBSI BS EN L3432-ENGL 2000 ltb24669 0555048 T52 W Page 4 EN 13432:ZOOO Introduction The Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste (94/62/EC) defines requirements f
25、or packaging to be considered recoverable. This standard amplifies these requirements with respect to organic recovery. The European Standard EN 13427:2000 provides a framework within which this and four other standards may be used together to support a claim that a packaging is in compliance with t
26、he essential requirements for packaging to be placed on the market as required by the Directive. The purpose of packaging is the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of products. Organic recovery of used packaging is one of several recovery options within the overall life cyc
27、le of packaging. In order to save resources and minimise waste, the whole system in which the packaging takes part should be optimised. This includes prevention as well as reuse and recovery of packaging waste. This European Standard presents a framework for self-assessment to determine whether the
28、requirements of this standard have been met. Its approach is similar to that of systems standards such as the EN IS0 9000 and EN IS0 14000 series. Organic recovery of packaging and packaging materials, which includes aerobic composting and anaerobic biogasification of packaging in municipal or indus
29、trial biological waste treatment facilities is an option for reducing and recycling packaging waste. Using these biological technologies, the aims of the Directive 94/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on Packaging and Packaging Waste (Brussels 5 December 1994) in this respect can b
30、e met. STD.BSI BS EN 13432-ENGL 2000 1624669 0885044 999 Page 5 EN 13432:2000 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and procedures to determine the compostability and anaerobic treatability of packaging and packaging materials by addressing four characteristics : 1) biodegradability,
31、 2) disintegration during biological treatment, 3) effect on the biological treatment process and 4) effect on the quality of the resulting compost. In case of a packaging formed by different components, some of which are compostable and some other not, the packaging itself, as a whole is not compos
32、table. However, if the components can be easily separated by hand before disposal, the compostable components can be effectively considered and treated as such, once separated from the non compostable components. This European Standard covers the compostability of packaging itself but does not addre
33、ss regulations that may exist regarding the compostability of any residual contents. This European Standard makes provision for obtaining information on the processing of packaging in controlled waste treatment plants but does not take into account packaging waste which may end up in the environment
34、, through uncontrolled means, .e. as litter. The essential relationship between this European Standard and the four other (mandated) European Packaging Standards and one (mandated) CEN Report is specified in EN 13427:2000. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undate
35、d reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when in
36、corporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.
