EN 15347:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Recycling of plastics waste is a one type of material recovery process intended to save resources (virgin raw materials, water, and energy), while minimising harmful emissions into air, water and soil as well as a
18、ny impacts on human health. The environmental impact of recycling has to be assessed over the whole life cycle of the recycling system (from the waste generation point to the disposal of final residues). To ensure that recycling constitutes the best environmental option for treating the available wa
19、ste, some prerequisites should preferably be met: recycling scheme being contemplated should generate lower environmental impacts than alternative recovery options; existing or potential market outlets should be identified that will secure a sustainable industrial recycling operation; collection and
20、 sorting schemes should be properly designed to deliver recyclable plastics waste fractions fitting reasonably well with the available recycling technologies and with the (changing) needs of the identified market outlets, preferably at minimum costs to society. This standard has been produced in acc
21、ordance with the guidance produced by CEN on Environmental Aspects and in accordance with CEN/TR 15353, Plastics - Recycled plastics - Guidelines for the development of standards for recycled plastics. NOTE CEN/TR 15353 considers the general environmental aspects which are specific to the recycling
22、process. It is often impossible to trace back each individual product at the end user stage and to check whether the product has been used correctly through its life. Consequently products are out of industrial control for a period of time. It is possible that during this period contamination with o
23、ther materials may occur that could affect the products suitability for recycling into the intended application. EN 15347:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides a scheme for the characterisation of plastics wastes, laying out those properties for which the supplier of the waste shall mak
24、e information available to the purchaser, and identifying test methods where applicable. The scheme provides for a division of information between “Required Data“, where a statement is required, even if it is “unclassified“, and additional “Optional Data“ which the supplier may choose to provide if
25、it adds value to the waste. This standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation. NOTE This standard does not cover the characterisation of plastics recyclates. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For

32、 the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 472:2001 and CEN/TR 15353:2007 apply. The abbreviated terms related to recyclates are given in EN ISO 1043-1:2001. 4 Requirements 4.1 General The characteristics of a batch of plastics waste that should be provided to
33、 the purchaser by the supplier are given in Table 1 and Table 2, and are divided into two types: Required characteristics, needed to characterise wastes in general, and required for all batches of waste. Optional characteristics, information on which may add value to the batch of waste. NOTE Waste p
34、lastics arise in many different forms and may be a single polymer type or a mixture, depending on how the waste has been collected. A batch of waste material can, therefore, include wastes from a single source, such as factory scrap, or window frames from building demolition, or a mixture of types a
35、s in unsorted domestic waste. The forms in which the waste is collected can be equally varied. A batch of waste material offered for sale can be a quantity as collected, or may have been sorted by the collector to add value to it. The wide range of possible forms and compositions of waste plastics o
36、ffered for sale makes it important for there to be a standardised means of characterising them so that there is a transparent transaction between seller and purchaser. 4.2 Classification scheme The supplier of a batch of plastics waste shall provide to the purchaser a statement of the characteristic
37、s of the waste under the headings in Table 1 and Table 2. If the supplier is unable to classify the batch of waste under any of the headings, he shall state that, for that heading it is “Unclassified“, or that he has “No Information“. Where the plastics waste originates from a single source and is c
38、omprised of a single polymer type, then the properties of that original material can be reported, provided it is clearly stated that they are the properties of the virgin material rather than that of the waste. Where properties have been measured on representative samples from the batch of waste, th
39、is shall be stated. Other tests may be carried out by agreement between the purchaser and supplier and the results shall be reported. The supplier may provide, or the purchaser request information on substances which may present impediments to recycling and their concentrations in the waste, with de
40、tails of the way the information was obtained via traceability or by analysis, quoting any analytical methods used. The purchaser may indicate those substances for which he/she requires information. To secure the legal use of the recyclate, the supplier has to provide the necessary information conce
41、rning the material composition of the waste, as specified by the purchaser.

EN 15347:2007 (E) 8 5 Quality Assurance In order that the purchaser of the recyclate may have confidence in the quality of the product, the supplier shall maintain records of the quality control carried out, including incoming materials, processes and finished products. NOTE 1 A quality managemen
48、t system certified to EN ISO 9001 may be a suitable guarantee of consistent recyclate quality. The specification and the standard deviation or range of values within and between batches of material shall be agreed between the supplier and the purchaser. Where a statement of recycled content, or the
49、previous history of the material, is requested, documentary evidence shall be provided, where there is no analytical method available to supply such information. These records should be available to the purchaser on request. Where a recyclate has been produced via a melt process, the supplier may choose to state the level of filtration applied during that process. This will determine the maximum size of any non-melting contaminants present in the recyclate. The statement of fi
