Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Schrott - Teil 15: Von Beschichtung befreiter Aluminiumschrott aus gebrauchten Aluminiumverpackungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Eigenschaften, die chemische Zusammensetzung und die Metallausbeute von Aluminiumschrott fest, der nach dem Entfernen der Beschichtungen von gemischten gebrauchten Aluminiumverpackungen durch verschiedene Verfahren, z. B. Pyrolyse, mechanisches Entfernen, chemisches Entfernen oder einer Kombination dieser erhalten wird. Sie gilt auch für Aluminiumschrott, der aus der Asche von Müllverbrennungsanlagen gewonnen wird.
BEISPIEL Eine Mischung von Schrott aus gebrauchten Aluminiumverpackungen verschiedener Legierungen, deren Beschichtung entfernt wurde, um sie einzuschmelzen oder in anderer Art zu verwerten.

Overview
EN 13920-15:2003 is the CEN European Standard that specifies the characteristics, chemical composition and metal yield for decoated aluminium scrap from post-consumer aluminium packagings. The standard applies to material produced by decoating processes such as pyrolysis, mechanical delamination, chemical delamination or combinations of these, and it also covers aluminium recovered from incinerator bottom ashes.
This part of EN 13920 is intended to ensure consistent feedstock quality for melting and other metal recycling operations.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Decoated scrap from mixed used aluminium packaging; includes material separated from bottom ashes of incinerators.
- Decoating processes referenced: Pyrolysis, mechanical delamination, chemical delamination or combinations.
- Ordering information: Orders should reference EN 13920-15, scrap category, gross mass, delivery period, and any deviating characteristics (e.g. piece size or foreign material). Origin and piece size/surface condition are recommended when meaningful.
- Quality requirements:
- The scrap shall not contain free iron.
- The scrap shall not be heavily oxidized as a result of the decoating process.
- The scrap shall not contain fines < 1 mm and must be free from non-metallic foreign materials.
- If material does not meet requirements, the supplier must notify the purchaser and obtain agreement before shipment.
- Chemical composition (after magnetic removal of free iron and appropriate melting):
- Si: max 1.0 %
- Fe: max 1.0 %
- Cu: max 2.5 %
- Mn: max 0.4 %
- Mg: max 2.0 %
- Zn: max 0.8 %
- Pb + Sn: max 0.2 %
- Others (each): max 0.1 %
- Aluminium content: remainder (calculated from 100 % minus sum of other elements, rounded as specified in the standard).
- Metal yield: The metal yield, determined per EN 13920-1 and related to as-delivered mass, shall be ≥ 80 %.
Applications
- Provides a standardized specification for recyclers, smelters and material traders handling decoated aluminium packaging scrap.
- Ensures predictable feedstock quality for melting and secondary aluminium production, improving process planning and metal recovery.
- Supports procurement and quality control by defining ordering information, acceptance criteria and notification procedures for non-conforming consignments.
Related Standards
- EN 13920-1:2003 - General requirements, sampling and tests (classification procedure, sampling, treatment of non-conformities and arbitration are handled in accordance with this part).
- prEN 12258-3:2000 - Terms and definitions for aluminium scrap (used for terminology in this standard).
Practical value: EN 13920-15:2003 gives buyers and suppliers a clear framework to trade decoated post-consumer aluminium packaging scrap with defined chemical limits and a required minimum metal yield, supporting efficient, consistent recycling operations.
