ISO 12086 Plastic Waste Sorting and Identification Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

As the world grapples with the challenges of plastic waste management, laboratory testing plays a crucial role in ensuring that plastics are sorted and identified correctly. Eurolabs ISO 12086 Plastic Waste Sorting and Identification laboratory testing service is designed to provide accurate and reliable results, enabling businesses and organizations to make informed decisions about their plastic waste management strategies.

Standard-Related Information

ISO 12086 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for plastic waste sorting and identification. This standard is part of a larger suite of standards that focus on sustainable development and environmental protection. The relevant standards include:

  • ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems

  • ISO 45001: Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems

  • EN 15726: Sorting systems for household waste, including materials with hazardous properties

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) EN 14396: Sorting systems for household waste

    • These standards are developed by international organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE). The development of these standards is a collaborative effort between governments, industry stakeholders, and regulatory bodies.

    Standard Requirements and Needs
