Consequently products are out of industrial control for a period of time.
It is possible that during this period contamination with other materials may occur that could affect the product's suitability for recycling into the intended application.

1 Scope This European Standard defines a method of specifying delivery condition characteristics for polystyrene (PS) recyclates. It gives the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing a single batch of PS recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-finished/finished products. It is intended to support parties involved in the use of recycled PS to agree on specifications for specific and general applications. This standard does not cover the characterisation of plastics wastes. See EN 15347. This standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
