BS EN 16935:2017EN 16935:2017 (E) 4 Introduction Bio-based products from forestry and agriculture have a long history of applicat

23、ion, such as paper, board and various chemicals and materials. The last decades have seen the emergence of new bio-based products in the market. Some of the reasons for the increased interest lie in the bio-based products benefits in relation to the depletion of fossil resources and climate change.

24、Bio-based products may also provide additional product functionalities. This has triggered a wave of innovation with the development of knowledge and technologies allowing new transformation processes and product development. Acknowledging the need for common standards for bio-based products, the Eu

25、ropean Commission issued mandate M/492, resulting in a series of standards developed by CEN/TC 411, with a focus on bio-based products other than food, feed and biomass for energy applications. The standards of CEN/TC 411 “Bio-based products” provide a common basis on the following aspects: common t

26、erminology; bio-based content determination; Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); sustainability aspects; declaration tools. It is important to understand what the term bio-based product covers and how it is being used. The term bio-based means derived from biomass. Bio-based products (bottles, insulation m

27、aterials, wood and wood products, paper, solvents, chemical intermediates, composite materials, etc.) are products which are wholly or partly derived from biomass. It is essential to characterize the amount of biomass contained in the product by for instance its bio-based content or bio-based carbon

28、 content. The bio-based content of a product does not provide information on its environmental impact or sustainability, which may be assessed through LCA and sustainability criteria. In addition, transparent and unambiguous communication within bio-based value chains is facilitated by a harmonized

29、framework for certification and declaration. The prefix “bio” frequently appears in everyday language in terms such as “bioproduct” (where “product” can be substituted by e.g. lubricant), mainly as marketing tools. Detergents and plastic products are other examples of the widespread use of the “bio”

30、 prefix. Without reference to clear and agreed definitions, there are many unsubstantiated claims, which can be deceptive. The term “biomass-based” or “bio-based” refers to the origin of the raw material. The prefix “bio” can refer to different functionalities (biodegradable, biocompatible, etc.) or

31、 processing (biological or biotechnological processes). The objective of this European Standard is to harmonize the use of claims which are relevant to describe the characteristics of bio-based products for business to consumer communication. This is done by defining criteria for credible, transpare

32、nt and non-misleading communication, based on the general principles outlined in ISO 14020. Thereby, ensuring that the information is easily available and understandable to the consumer. This standard applies to organisations that place bio-based products on the market and wish to inform the consume

33、rs about the specific characteristics of such bio-based products. BS EN 16935:2017EN 16935:2017 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for transparent and non-misleading business-to consumer communication of characteristics of bio-based products by means of labelling and claims.

34、 It does not specify requirements for bio-based products. This European Standard is intended to be used as a tool to generate and transfer information to the consumer and/or as an input for product-specific standards and certification schemes. Business to business communication is covered by EN 1684

35、8.1 NOTE This standard is applicable to all claims which are based on or make reference to bio-based content (e.g. vegetable-based, plant-based). 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application

It shall be clear whether the communication and/or claims concern the packaging, packaging components, or the product.

44、 A separate claim on a component of the product can only be made if this component can be separated and information is provided on how the component can be separated (if not self-evident). Wherever the claim bio-based is made in relation to a product, the following information shall be provided: min
