Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 13695-2:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 261
“Packaging”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document supersedes CR 13695-2:2002.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directives, see informative Annex B, which is an integral part of this document.
This Technical Report forms one of a series of standards and reports prepared under Mandate M/200 rev.3
and the Second Standardisation Mandate M/317 given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association to support the European Parliament and Council Directive on Packaging
and Packaging Waste [94/62/EC]. The procedure for applying this Technical Report in conjunction with the
other mandated standards and reports is specified in EN 13427.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Report: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the
United Kingdom.
Introduction
The European Commission gave a mandate to CEN for promoting the preparation of European Standards and
CEN Reports in order to support the application of the Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994, on
Packaging and Packaging Waste, in particular to elaborate a CEN Report ‘Requirements for measuring and
verifying heavy metals and other dangerous substances present in packaging, and their release into the
environment’.
NOTE The Directive 94/62/EC is amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/12/EC of
11 February 2004
Part 1 of the CEN Report ‘Requirements for measuring and verifying the four heavy metals present in
packaging, and their release into the environment’ has been previously released, (CR 13695-1) due to the
priority given in Article 11(1) of the Directive to the four heavy metals explicitly mentioned: Lead, Cadmium,
Mercury and Chromium VI.
This document is Part 2 to the CEN Report CR 13695 related to other dangerous substances. It refers to the
end-of-life treatment of packaging by incineration or landfilling.
The task of the working group WG 8 ‘Heavy metals and other dangerous substances’ had been attributed by a
resolution of CEN TC 261/SC 4.
Have been considered for the development of this work:
 the existing European or national regulations (Directives);
 the CEN standardisation on waste TC 292;
 the OECD environment monograph series.
A detailed information on the regulatory context is given in Annex B; however this work is expected to be
compatible with any further evolution of the related regulation, as it is independent of any specific case.
With regard to the number and diversity of substances, which may be considered as dangerous to the
environment, there are no currently available general standardised methods for the systematic measurements
of their presence in emissions, ash or leachate, when packaging or residues from management operations or
packaging waste are incinerated or landfilled. The task of elaborating specific standardised methods for each
substance and applicable in each practical case would be extremely complex and time consuming. This is the
reason why a methodology to estimate or calculate these substances based on the use of Safety Data Sheets
(according to Directive 91/155/EEC) has been developed.
A simple and efficient assessment method suitable for small and medium sized suppliers of packaging is
proposed, based preferentially on an upstream approach (CR 13695-1, 8.1).
Guidelines are provided to identify and minimise dangerous substances and a methodology is proposed to
assess the compliance with the requirements of the Directive.
1 Scope
This document specifies the methodology and procedure for determining the presence and minimisation of
other dangerous substances in relation with Annex II Para 1 Indent 3 of Directive 94/62/EC. This document is
intended to be of practical use, and to enable efficient application of the Directive 94/62/EC, even for small
and medium sized companies in the packaging industry, providing them with a methodology for assessing
compliance with the Directive.
This document cannot by itself provide presumption of conformity. The procedure for applying this document
is contained in EN 13427.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 13193:2000 and Article 3 of Directive
94/62/EC and the following apply.
3.1
substances
chemical elements and their compounds in the natural state or obtained by any production process, including
any additive necessary to preserve the stability of the product, and any impurity deriving from the production
process used, but excluding any solvent which may be separated without affecting the stability of the
substance or changing its composition
NOTE A substance may be chemically very well defined (e.g. acetone) or a complex mixture of constituents of
variable composition (e.g. aromatic distillates). For certain complex substances, some individual constituents have been
identified
[Directive 67/548/EEC as amended by 2001/59/EC Annex VI, paragraph 1.7.1]
3.2
preparations
mixtures or solutions composed of two or more substances
[Directive 67/548/EEC]
3.3
safety data sheet
documentation provided by any person established within the community who is responsible for placing a
dangerous substance or preparation on the market, whether the manufacturer, importer or distributor
NOTE The Directive requires that documentation to be provided to any recipient who is an industrial user of the
substance or preparation and to contain the information required of the dangerous substance or preparation
