This document (EN 14541-1:2022) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 155 “Plastics
piping systems and ducting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
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 November 2022, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by November 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

This document, together with Part 2 of the EN 14541 series, supersedes CEN/TS 14541:2013.
This document is part of the new EN 14541 series, which will consist of the following parts under the
general title Plastics pipes and fittings - Utilisation of thermoplastics recyclates:
a) Part 1: Vocabulary (this document);
b) Part 2: Recommendations for relevant characteristics.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,

Introduction
The EN 14541 series is intended to give recommendations to the value chain of thermoplastics piping
systems to stimulate the use of thermoplastics recyclates (e.g. PVC-U, PVC-C, PE, PP, and ABS) as defined
in the European circular economy policy.
This part of the EN 14541 series defines the relevant terms and definitions related to the use of
thermoplastics recyclates in thermoplastics pipes and fittings. The commonly used terms and definitions
are reviewed, and as much as possible aligned with the practises within the thermoplastics pipes and
fittings value chain and the vocabulary used in European policy documents (e.g. circular economy,
sustainability) and existing international standards.
Part 2 is a CEN/TS document in which recommendations are given about the relevant characteristics for
defining (e.g. fingerprinting) commonly used thermoplastics recyclates intended to be used in
thermoplastics pipes and fittings.
NOTE These characteristics are intended for use within an agreed specification.
CEN/TC 249 “Plastics” developed a series of CEN publications on “Plastics Recycling” which consists of:
EN 15343 [1], EN 15344 [2], EN 15345 [3], EN 15346 [4], CEN/TS 16010 [5] and CEN/TS 16011 [6].
Other documents that discuss recycling are e.g. ISO 15270 [7] and Waste Framework Directive [8].
1 Scope
This document specifies the general terms and definitions relevant for the utilization of thermoplastics
recyclates in thermoplastics pipes, fittings and ancillaries for both pressure and non-pressure piping
systems.
This document is intended to be used by specification writers in conjunction
