1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method, and defines related terms, for calculating the recyclability rate and the recoverability rate of earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165, each expressed as a percentage by mass (mass fraction in percent) of the machine, which can potentially be
-
— recycled, reused or both (recyclability rate), or
-
— recovered, reused or both (recoverability rate).
NOTE Remanufacturing is included in re-use.
The calculation can be performed by the machine manufacturer from the time when a machine is initially put on the market.
