EN 14182:2002 (E)4IntroductionThe preparation of a definitive terminology is difficult in any field of activity but for packaging the task has beenmade more complex by developments, in Europe, in the field of packaging and the environment. These have led toa European Community Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste (94/62/EC) which itself has introduced termsand definitions that are not always in line with those in common use. That directive covers all packaging placed onthe Market of the European Union, wherever it is produced or used and all packaging waste arising. In annex II itlists essential requirements relating to the manufacture and composition of packaging as well as those specific toits reuse and recovery (whether as materials, in the form of energy or through biodegradation includingcomposting). It defines twelve basic terms that are employed in the Directive.Therefore, in addition to establishing a list of basic terms and definitions that assists in applying a whole range ofpackaging standards, this European Standard seeks to identify any variation and clarify the twelve basic terms ofthe Directive.In any pan-European document language difference can, in extreme cases, impede conceptual understanding.This European Standard endeavours to take account of situations where direct, word for word, translation of a termoriginated in one of the three official CEN languages may not result in the conveying of a similar concept in one orboth of the others. The working language used in the development of this standard was English and the termsincluded were identified and defined in that language before being translated into French and German. To assistunderstanding, a section containing other language equivalents, for terms where such conceptual blurring isbelieved to be a significant possibility, is included as annex B.It is envisaged that, wherever practicable and appropriate, the terms incorporated in this European Standard will beemployed in the application of the CEN Packaging Standards. In the event that the precise usage in a particularstandard differs from that envisaged and defined in this standard, it is incumbent upon those drafting that otherstandard to identify and define their required usage. In default, the terms and definitions incorporated in thisEuropean Standard ought to apply.SIST EN 14182:2003
