This document specifies a general method for assessing the proportion of recycled material in an energy-related product. This document is applicable as the framework to be used for defining the assessment of recycled materials content in specific product groups.<\/p>\n
It is not intended to generate publicly available product information and compare products in the absence of a product standard based on this document.<\/p>\n
This document does not cover aspects such as quality and physical properties of recycled materials.<\/p>\n
This document does not apply to the assessment of reused components.<\/p>\n
EN 45556:2019 provides a general method for assessing the proportion of reused components in ErPs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
