CEN/TC 261/SC 4/WG 4 - Energy recovery

The tasks of this working group are: - To define the requirements and standards connected with environmentally acceptable energy conversion of packaging, taking due note of the residues of material contents, specially - To define conditions for incineration taking due note of regulations existing in different countries, - To define the requirements for used packaging to be incinerated without contravening existing regulations, - To work out rules for calculating the energy recovered from different packaging; working in close contact with WG 1.

The scope of work includes: The tasks of this working group are: - To define the requirements and standards connected with environmentally acceptable energy conversion of packaging, taking due note of the residues of material contents, specially - To define conditions for incineration taking due note of regulations existing in different countries, - To define the requirements for used packaging to be incinerated without contravening existing regulations, - To work out rules for calculating the energy recovered from different packaging; working in close contact with WG 1. Currently, there are 4 published standards from this subcommittee.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.

EN 13431:2004(Main)
Packaging - Requirements for packaging recoverable in the form of energy recovery, including specification of minimum inferior calorific value
SIST EN 13431:2004

This European Standard specifies the requirements for a packaging to be classified as recoverable in the form of energy and sets out procedures for assessment of conformity with those requirements. The scope is limited to factors under the control of the supplier.
This standard cannot by itself provide presumption of conformity. The procedure for applying this standard is contained in EN 13427.

EN 13431:2000(Main)
Packaging - Requirements for packaging recoverable in the form of energy recovery, including specification of minimum inferior calorific value
SIST EN 13431:2001

The scope of this European Standard is to specify the requirements for a packaging to be energy recoverable and to identify the necessary procedures for a supplier placing packaging on the market to claim conformity with these requirements. This European Standard specifies the requirements for a packaging to be classified as recoverable in the form of energy and sets out procedures for assessment of conformity with those requirements. The scope is limited to what is under control of the supplier. The procedure for applying this standard is contained in prEN 13427:2000.
