1 Scope
This Technical Specification provides definitions for the categories of materials
produced from end-of-life tyres based on their dimension(s) or impurities. It also
provides test methods for the determination of the dimension(s) of the materials produced
from all categories of end-of-life tyres at all steps of the treatment process as
well as for the determination of impurities.
The test methods described in this Technical Specification include sample collection and the preparation of a representative sample based on a sampling plan for the purpose of determining dimensions and impurities.
This Technical Specification does not cover the operational performance or fitness
for use of the materials which are deemed to be a function of agreement between the
producer and the customer.
NOTE This Technical Specification does not cover downstream products prepared from the
materials, including reclaimed or devulcanized rubber, surface-modified powders and pyrolytic output.
This Technical Specification does not purport to address safety concerns associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this Technical Specification
to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability
of regulatory limitations prior to use.
