Overview

This International Standard specifies a system of uniform marking of products that have been fabricated from plastics materials. Provision for the process or processes to be used for marking is outside the scope of this International Standard. The marking system is intended to help identify plastics products for subsequent decisions concerning handling, waste recovery or disposal. Generic identification of the plastics is provided by the symbols and abbreviated terms given in ISO 1043-1, ISO 1043-2, ISO 1043-3 and ISO 1043-4. This International Standard is not intended to supplant, replace or in any way interfere with the requirements for labelling specified in product standards or legislation. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 054-01-01 AA "Terminologie" ("Terminology") at DIN Standards Committee Plastics (FNK).
