European foreword
This document (prEN 17189:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 366 “Materials
obtained from End-of-Life Tyres (ELT)”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede CEN/TS 17189:2018.
prEN 17189:2023 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
CEN/TS 17189:2018:
— addition of a sampling method for powders in the Title and Scope;
— revision of the used terminology to integrate powders;
— review of the general structure of the document.

Introduction
True density is a key measurement for product characterization of size-reduced materials such as
granulates and powders. This document defines a specific method for granulates and powders
considering that, to obtain an accurate value of true density, a representative sample of the material to
be tested has to be taken according to the principle that every particle of the sample that represents the
lot will have an equal probability of being included in the sample.
Sampling criteria to assess characteristics of granulates and powders at various stages of a production
process by size reduction of end-of-life tyres are given in EN 14243-2:2019, Clause 5.
Measurement of true density could be useful to identify the nature of particles of different origin, for
example, when a customer needs to check if he received granular material derived from End-of-
Life Tyres (ELTs) or from products based on EPDM polymers. True density is different between these
two products and could be reliable element to discriminate.
Typical values are:
— ELT granulates: 1,12 – 1,22;
— EPDM granulates: 1,4 – 1,6.
