European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 13695-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 261
“Packaging”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TR 13695-2:2004.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
For information on current regulation, see informative Annex B.
This document forms one of a series of standards and reports prepared under Mandate M/200 rev.3 and
the Second Standardization 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 document in conjunction with the
other mandated standards and reports is specified in EN 13427.
Introduction
The European Commission gave a mandate to CEN for promoting the preparation of European Standards
and CEN Technical Reports in order to support the application of Directive 94/62/EC of
20 December 1994, on Packaging and Packaging Waste, in particular to elaborate a CEN Technical Report
‘Requirements for measuring and verifying heavy metals and other dangerous substances present in
packaging, and their release into the environment’.
NOTE 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/TR / CR 13695 series 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.
The following elements were considered for the development of this work:
— the existing European or national regulations (Directives);
— the CEN standardization on waste (CEN/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 standardized 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
standardized 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 13695-1:2000, 8.1).
Guidelines are provided to identify and minimize dangerous substances and a methodology is proposed
to assess the compliance with the requirements of the Directive.
Since the publication of the previous edition of this document in 2004 a new chemicals regulation has
been introduced within the community (REACH, Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 concerning the
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals). Also, an adaptation to the Global
Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals has been made (CLP,
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures)
repealing Directive 67/548/EEC (Dangerous Substances) and Directive 1999/45/EC (Dangerous
Preparations). The REACH and CLP legislations now in force use different terminology and description of
hazard statements compared to what is used in this document and in the connected standard EN 13428.
Due to the lack of mandate for a complete and joint update of the two documents reflecting the changed
legislation, instead this document has been amended with minimum necessary explanatory text to be
able to follow the assessment method. The amended document provides a “translation key” allowing for
continued understanding and use of both CEN/TR 13695-2 and EN 13428.
Key differences relevant for the understanding and use of this document and EN 13428 are summarized
in the table below. Throughout the report text ‘Notes’ are used to highlight differences in terminology,
hazard descriptions and labelling criteria in the legislation now in force compared to what is used in
CEN/TR 13695-2 and EN 13428.
