European foreword
This document (prEN 18064-4:2024) 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 is part of the prEN 18064-series, currently consisting of all parts as listed below. This
series of standards consist of a general part 1, and material specific parts for different types of plastics.
This particular part covers typical values (ranges, or min/max values) for Polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) general purpose plastics, that can be composed of 100 % recyclates (mechanical and/or
chemical), or a combination of recyclates and virgin plastic.
This part is supported by other standards on test methods to which references are made throughout
this document.
EN 18064, Plastics — Quality recommendations and basis for specifications for application of plastic
recyclates in products, is currently composed with the following parts:
— Part 1: General aspects
— Part 2: Polyethylene (PE)
— Part 3: Polypropylene (PP)
— Part 4: Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)
— Part 5: Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)
— Part 6: Polystyrene (PS)
— Part 7: Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)
NOTE Part 6 for PS also includes EPS and XPS.
Introduction
See prEN 18064-1.
1 Scope
This document provides relevant characteristics and typical values for PET recyclates intended for
groups of defined applications (the product families).
The relevant characteristics and typical values for the different product families are derived from the
performance requirements of the products belonging to that family, including requirements for product
manufacturing processes where applicable.
This document applies to plastic recyclates intended to be used for the manufacturing of (intermediate)
products.
This document is intended to be used in conjunction with part 1 of this standard series, which describes
the designation system for plastic recyclates. The designation system allows comparison between
recycled and virgin material at the level of the polymer's defined designatory properties.
NOTE 1 Examples of designations of plastic recyclates are given in the Annex A.
NOTE 2 The selection of relevant properties for a product family is based on EN ISO 10350-1, extended with
specific properties related to plastic recyclates.
