BS ISO 16714:2008

Earth-moving machinery. Recyclability and recoverability. Terminology and calculation method. | Status: Current, Confirmed

1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method, and defines related terms, for calculating the recyclability rate and the recoverability rate of earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165, each expressed as a percentage by mass (mass fraction in percent) of the machine, which can potentially be

• — recycled, reused or both (recyclability rate), or
• — recovered, reused or both (recoverability rate).

NOTE Remanufacturing is included in re-use.

The calculation can be performed by the machine manufacturer from the time when a machine is initially put on the market.
