This European Standard specifies general requirements, test methods for sacks, bags and bins made of plastic films used for the collection of household waste or the collection of household selective waste, including the collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting). and covers the requirements.
For the purpose of this European Standard, biodegradable and compostable sacks, including ties, if any, comply with EN 13432.
This European standard applies only to sacks, bags and bins whose primary use is for the collection of household waste or for the collection of household waste.
This standard gives requirements for sacks for the collection of household waste, excluding separate collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting) and associated testing methods.
It covers requirements for sacks for the separate collection of biodegradable waste for organic recycling (biodegradation and composting), in order to take into account the characteristics of biodegradable waste and organic recycling.
The purpose of the test is to verify the strength of the closure system when the sack filled to the specified test load is lifted. Sacks loaded with test loads determined according to the size of the sacks are subjected to a serious suspension process.
The durability of biodegradable and compostable sacks depends on the frequency of collection, environmental conditions and the nature of the organic waste. This European Standard provides minimum requirements for resistance to leakage. Other special test methods can be applied if necessary, according to the agreement between the supplier and the customer.
