Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16103 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging, Subcommittee SC 3, Performance
requirements and tests for means of packaging, packages and unit loads (as required by ISO/TC 122).
ISO 16103:2005(E)
Introduction
The aim of this International Standard is to specify sufficiently the necessary controls for the use of recycled
plastics materials as identified in the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods,
by selection into batches. Packagings produced from each batch of recycled plastics material undergo
mechanical testing as in design type testing.
These Recommendations are given legal entity by the provisions of a series of modal agreements for the
international transport of dangerous goods:
 the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)
(see [1] in the Bibliography);
 the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous
Goods by Air (see [2] in the Bibliography);
 the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (see [3] in the Bibliography);
 the Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID) (see [4] in the
Bibliography).
The application of this International Standard needs to take account of the requirements of these international
agreements and the relevant national regulations for domestic transport of dangerous goods.
