scope:

This European Standard, EN 13965-2, Characterization of waste ― Terminology ― Part 2: Management related terms and defintions, gives a compilation of selected and updated terms and definitions, for use by for example producers, waste industry and legislators in the waste management field. It is harmonized with the current language used in management as well as in regulation. It includes, with references (see Annex C), national terms and definitions where such needs have been expressed. It does not include terms related to detailed activities.

The scope of CEN/TC 292 excludes radioactive wastes. Therefore, such concepts are not included in this standard.

Definitions in other standards with a scope different from the scope of this European Standard can be different from the definitions in this standard.
