DIN EN 13592:2017-05 EN 13592:2017 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the general characteristics, test methods and requirements for sacks, bags and bin liners, made from plastic films, used for household waste collection, or household selective waste collection including
21、the collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting). For the purpose of this European Standard biodegradable and compostable sacks, including ties if any, are those which comply with EN 13432. This European Standard applies only to sacks, bags and bin liners f
22、or which the first use is for household waste collection or household selective waste collection. This European Standard does not apply to sacks used to protect bins and that are not lifted at the emptying operation and thus do not require the same mechanical characteristics. NOTE For editorial reas
23、ons, in this document the terms “sack” and “bag” are synonymous. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

EXAMPLES OF DESIGNATION EXAMPLE 1 Household waste collection sack, 700 mm x 1 100 mm, standard, in polyethylene, white, 40 m thick: “Household waste collection sack EN 13592 700/1100 - Standard - PE - White 40 m” EXAMPLE 2 Household selective waste
40、collection drawtight sack, 600 mm x 800 mm, in polyethylene, neutral, 30 m thick for specific load of 4 kg both for drop test and closing device test: “Household selective waste collection sack for 4 kg EN 13592 600/800 - Drawtight - PE - Neutral 30 m “ EXAMPLE 3 Organic waste collection with biodeg

T
42、he dimensions of sacks are given by two separate numbers, the first number giving the useful width, P, in millimetres, (see 3.12) and the second number the useful length, L, in millimetres (see 3.11). EXAMPLE Reference 500x700 (500/700) for a sack with P = 500 mm and L = 700 mm. 6 General Clause 7 g
43、ives the requirements for sacks for the collection of household waste except for the separate collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting) and the corresponding test methods. In order to take into account the specificities of biodegradable waste and organic
44、 recycling, Clause 8 gives the requirements for sacks for the separate collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting). The corresponding test methods are given either in 7.2 when they are identical to those for sacks covered in Clause 7 or in 8.2 for the spec
45、ific test methods or any deviation from the test methods given in 7.2. Sampling shall be performed according to Annex B.
