Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Scrap - Part 8: Scrap consisting of non-ferrous materials from shredding processes destined to aluminium separation processes

This part of this European Standard specifies requirements for aluminium-containing shredded material mixed with other metals and non-metallic components (rubber, plastic, glass etc) produced by shredding end-of-life vehicles, household appliances etc. It is applicable to material intended for further preparation/selection processes by the user to get the aluminium scrap separated from other foreign materials.

Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Schrott - Teil 8: Schrott aus Nichteisenmaterialien vom Schreddern für Aluminiumseparationsverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an geschreddertes aluminiumhaltiges Material, das mit anderen metallischen und nichtmetallischen Bestandteilen (Gummi, Kunststoff, Glas usw.) gemischt ist, fest. Es wird beim Schreddern von ausgedienten Fahrzeugen, Haushaltsgeräten usw. produziert. Es ist für Material geeignet, das für weitere Vorbereitungs- und Sortierverfahren beim Anwender bestimmt ist, um Aluminiumschrott durch das Trennen von anderen Fremdstoffen zu erhalten. Die separierte Aluminiumfraktion ist in prEN 13920-9 beschrieben

Aluminium et alliages d'aluminium - Scrap (matieres premieres pour recyclage) - Partie 8: Scrap composé de non-ferreux de broyage destiné aux procédés de récupération de l'aluminium

Cette partie de la présente norme européenne spécifie le scrap d'aluminium contenant des matériaux désintégrés mélangés à d'autres métaux et à des éléments non métalliques (caoutchouc, plastique, verre, etc.) provenant de la désintégration de véhicules, appareils domestiques, etc. en fin de vie. Elle s'applique aux matériaux destinés à des opérations de préparation/sélection ultérieurs par l'utilisateur en vue de séparer le scrap d'aluminium des autres matériaux étrangers.

Overview

SIST EN 13920-8:2004 is a European standard developed by CEN that defines the requirements for aluminium-containing shredded scrap mixed with non-ferrous metals and non-metallic materials such as rubber, plastic, and glass. This scrap is typically produced from shredding end-of-life vehicles, household appliances, and similar products. The standard specifically applies to shredded materials intended for subsequent separation processes to isolate aluminium scrap from other foreign components. It plays a critical role in ensuring consistent quality and facilitating efficient recycling processes in the aluminium industry.

Key Topics

  • Scope: Specifies requirements for aluminium scrap mixed with non-ferrous metals and non-metallic fragments from shredding processes.
  • Aluminium Content: Requires at least 20% aluminium by mass in the shredded material, with other metallic content of at least 15%. If other metals are below 15%, the total non-ferrous metals must be at least 35%.
  • Physical Characteristics: Aluminium scrap fraction pieces should range in size from 10 mm to 200 mm to ensure compatibility with sorting and melting processes.
  • Chemical Composition: Defines permissible chemical element limits in the aluminium scrap fraction after separation and melting (e.g., Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Ni, Zn, Ti, Pb, Sn), ensuring recycled aluminium meets quality and safety standards.
  • Metal Yield: Aluminium scrap recovered must achieve a metal yield of at least 90%, promoting material efficiency.
  • Classification and Compliance: Outlines classification, sampling, testing, and procedures for handling non-conformities in line with EN 13920-1 to guarantee reliable and standardized scrap assessment.

Applications

  • End-of-Life Vehicle Recycling: Facilitates processing of shredded vehicle scrap to recover high-quality aluminium for reuse.
  • Household Appliance Recycling: Provides methods to handle mixed scrap streams ensuring efficient aluminium separation.
  • Recycling Industry: Supports scrap dealers and recyclers in defining quality parameters for aluminium-containing scrap ensuring compliance with European regulations.
  • Metal Separation Facilities: Guides preparation and sorting processes for aluminium scrap prior to melting and refining.
  • Sustainable Materials Management: Promotes circular economy practices by standardizing aluminium scrap recycling quality, reducing waste, and conserving natural resources.

Related Standards

  • EN 13920-1: Covers general requirements, sampling, and testing methods for aluminium scrap.
  • EN 13920-9: Specifies requirements for scrap from aluminium separation processes of non-ferrous shredded materials.
  • prEN 12258-3:2000: Defines terms and definitions related to aluminium scrap.
  • Other parts of EN 13920 series: Address categories such as unalloyed scrap, wire and cable scrap, turnings, castings, and post-consumer scrap, supporting a comprehensive framework for aluminium scrap classification.

By adhering to the SIST EN 13920-8:2004 standard, businesses engaged in aluminium recycling improve recyclate quality, optimize separation processes, and comply with regulatory requirements, fostering efficient resource recovery and promoting sustainable metal recycling practices.
