This European Standard defines a method of specifying delivery conditions for Polypropylene (PP) recyclates.
It gives the most important characteristics and associated test methods for assessing a single batch of PP
recyclates intended for use in the production of semi-finished/finished products.
It is intended to support parties involved in the use of recycled PP to agree on specifications for specific and
general applications.
This standard does not cover the characterisation of plastics wastes. See EN 15347.
This standard is applicable without prejudice to any existing legislation.
