NOTE
A quality management system certified to EN ISO 9001 may be a suitable guarantee of consistent recyclate quality but not the recycled content. The specification and the standard deviation or range of values within and between batches of material shall be agreed between the supplier and the purchaser. Where a statement of recycled content, or the previous history of the material, is requested, documentary evidence shall be provided. These records should be available to the purchaser on request. Where a recyclate has been produced via a melt process, the supplier may choose to state the level of filtration applied during that process. This will determine the maximum size of any non-melting contaminants present in the recyclate. The statement of filtration level shall include details of the filter. Recyclates that have not passed through a melt process cannot be quantified in the same way, and the supplier may state this. SIST EN 15348:2015

Determination of size and distribution of PET-R flakes by sieving A.1 General This procedure specifies a method for determining the dimensional distribution (size) of PET-R flakes by measuring the quantities retained in a range of sieves having meshes of various sizes. The results are expressed in terms of quantity retained on the various sieves or as the mean particulate dimension for the whole sample tested (That which has the greatest frequency). A.2 Principles A determined sample is filtered through a single
