EN 13427 ISO 18601
Standards mandated by EC and
harmonized with 94/62/EU

If you comply with
EN 13427 Packaging - Requirements for the use of European Standards in the
field of packaging and packaging waste
EN 13428 Packaging - Requirements specific to manufacturing and composition -
Prevention by source reduction

And at least one of:
EN 13429 Packaging - Reuse
EN 13430 Packaging - Requirements for packaging recoverable by material
recycling
EN 13431 Packaging - Requirements for packaging recoverable in the form of
energy recovery, including specification of minimum inferior calorific value
EN 13432 Packaging - Requirements for packaging recoverable through
composting and biodegradation - Test scheme and evaluation criteria for the
final acceptance of packaging

then you are also in compliance with 94/62/EG

ISO CEN
3.11
packaging waste
packaging that has been used by the final
consumer or end user and which is
discarded for final disposal and is not
intended for reuse or recovery

3.1 reuse
operation by which packaging is refilled or
used for the same purpose for which it was
conceived, with or without the support of
auxiliary products present on the market
enabling the packaging to be refilled

Note 1 to entry: Non reusable items that
support packaging reuse, such as labels or
closures, are considered to be part of that
packaging.


3.2.9 reuse
any operation by which packaging, which
has been conceived and designed to
accomplish within its life cycle a minimum
number of trips or rotations, is refilled or
used for the same purpose for which it was
conceived with or without the support of
auxiliary products present on the market
enabling the packaging to be refilled ; such
re-used packaging will become packaging
waste when no longer subject to reuse
[Directive 94/62/EC]

B.2.1 Waste
"Any substance or object in the categories
set out in annex I which the holder discards
or intends or is required to discard.
