    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Provides the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing PE recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-finished/finished products.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard defines a method of specifying delivery conditions for polyethylene (PE) recyclates. It gives the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing PE recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-finished/finished products. It is intended to support parties involved in the use of recycled PE to agree on specifications for specific and generic applications. This standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation. This standard does not cover the characterisation of plastics wastes. See EN 15347.
