BS EN 17366:2020

What is BS EN 17366 about?  

BS EN 17366 discusses waste management. BS EN 17366 is used in the framework of the waste processing industry and defines the processing of relevant information for the deposit of garbage between access chips and the collection container systems.  

BS EN 17366 provides the technical specification and the restrictions that are defined on top of ISO/IEC 14443‑1, ISO/IEC 14443‑2 and ISO/IEC 14443‑3. 

Note: BS EN 17366 is not intended to be used for container identification. The container identification is covered by EN 14803. 

Who is BS EN 17366 for? 

BS EN 17366 on waste management is useful for: 

• Environment protection agencies 
• Waste management bodies  
• Waste container manufacturers 
• Health and safety personnel  
• Municipal authorities 

Why should you use BS EN 17366?  

BS EN 17366 discusses Unique Identifier (UID), length of unique number, requirement on unique number, information on access chip, requirement on access chip, information required to open the collection container, reading the unique number, writing to the access chip, and security.  

BS EN 17366 takes ISO/IEC 14443‑1, ISO/IEC 14443‑2 and ISO/IEC 14443‑3 as a basis. In the case that BS EN 17366 and ISO/IEC 14443‑1, ISO/IEC 14443‑2 and ISO/IEC 14443‑3 conflict, BS EN 17366 prevails. 

As BS EN 17366 takes ISO/IEC 14443‑1, ISO/IEC 14443‑2 and ISO/IEC 14443‑3 as a basis, it is necessary to conform to these three parts of ISO 14443 to be able to conform to the standard defined in BS EN 17366. 

BS EN 17366 presents the standard for the identification of access chips. The ISO 14443 series defines two types of access chips: type A and type B. BS EN 17366 restricts this choice and defines the type of access chip to be used types A.
