This part of the European Standard EN 13965,
Characterization of waste ¿ Terminology ¿ Part 1:
Material related terms and definitions, concerns
concepts which are related to different types of
waste. It gives a compilation of selected and
updated terms and definitions for use by for
example producers, waste industry and legislators
in the waste management field. It is harmonized
with the current language used in management as
well as in regulation. It includes, with references,
national terms and definitions where such needs
have been expressed. It does not include terms
related to specialized activities.
The scope of TC 292 excludes radio active
wastes. Therefore such concepts are not included
in this standard.
Definitions in other standards with a scope
different from the scope of this European Standard
can be different from the definitions in this
standard.
NOTE In the context of European waste
legislation an object can change from being a waste to
being a non-waste during its life cycle. Typical examples
are concepts making reference to e.g. a residue that may
well be either a waste or a non-waste. The intention of
this European Standard is not to distinguish between the
two states but applies only to objects which have already
been classified as waste on the basis of current
regulations.
