Plastics - Recycled plastics - Sample preparation

Document Number: NL CEN TS 16011 : 2019
Sector: Rubber and plastic industries
TC: NL TC 61
ICS: 13.030.50 - 83.080.01
This Technical Specification specifies the preparation of samples of recycled plastics prior to testing and takes account of the specifics of the material. Sample preparation should avoid any process that causes 'de-mixing' of the sample. Following preparation, the sample should remain representative. The behaviour of contaminants should be carefully analysed and observed to ensure this is homogeneous. This Technical Specification does not address any legal or product safety issues.
