EN 17228 Standard Test for Plastics, Bio-Based Polymers, Plastics and Plastic Products, Terminology, Properties and Communication

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 17228 standard. This standard specifies the vocabulary, characterization methods and templates for reporting on bio-based polymers, plastics and plastic products (including semi-finished plastic products and composites).

EN 17228 Standard Test for Plastics, Bio-Based Polymers, Plastics and Plastic Products, Terminology, Properties and Communication

Specifically, this standard covers: terminology, bio-based content, bio-based carbon content, Life Cycle Assessment, sustainability aspects and disclosure tools.

Biocompatible polymers and plastics covered by special provisions for medical applications are outside the scope of this standard.

The terms "biopolymers" and "bioplastics" are commonly used to describe polymers and plastics that are bio-based, biodegradable, or both. While these definitions are quite common and used by industry, they are considered to be open to misunderstanding and therefore not suitable for standardization purposes.
