European foreword
This document has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 “Plastics”, the secretariat of
which is held by SIS.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 17098-1:2018.
EN 17098:2018:
— Clause 8 on the design-for-recycling of end of life of barrier films has been added;
— Clause 10 on removal and collection instructions of used barrier films has been modified, referring
to prEN 18109 for additional information;
— in Clause 11 on removal and collection instructions of used barrier films, the reference to Annex C

has been deleted, referring to prEN 18109 for additional
information;
— Annex C on guidance for conditions for installation, use and removal of barrier films, has been
deleted
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
EN 17098, Plastics — Barrier films for agricultural and horticultural soil disinfection by fumigation,
consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Specifications for barrier films
— Part 2: Method for determining film permeability using a static technique

Under preparation
Introduction
Use of barrier films designed for agricultural and horticultural soil disinfection by means of fumigation
has the main objectives of protecting operators and personnel during and after the fumigation
operation, limiting the consumption of harmful substances and safeguarding the environment.
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements relating to the dimensional, mechanical and physical-
chemical characteristics of thermoplastic barrier films designed for agricultural and horticultural soil
disinfection by means of fumigation.
This document specifies also the test methods for verifying these requirements, except the method for
determining film permeability using a static technique, which is specified in EN 17098-2.
This document defines the criteria for design for recycling of barrier films and refer to prEN 18109 for
the product lifecycle, including installation, use, removal and collection for end of life for management
of the product after its usage.
This document is applicable to films used during soil disinfection by fumigation (class 1), and to films
used during soil disinfection subsequently kept in situ as mulch films (class 2).
On the date of publication of this document, the barrier films are multi-layer films.
