Overview
EN 13920-8:2003 is a European Standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for scrap consisting of non-ferrous materials from shredding processes, particularly destined for aluminium separation processes. This standard applies to aluminium-containing shredded materials mixed with other metals and non-metallic components such as rubber, plastic, and glass, originating from the processing of end-of-life vehicles, household appliances, and similar sources.
The standard ensures that stakeholders, including scrap processors, recyclers, and manufacturers, maintain consistency and quality when handling and preparing aluminium scrap for further separation and recycling processes. Adhering to EN 13920-8:2003 supports sustainable aluminium recycling and high-quality output for the aluminium industry across Europe.
Key Topics
Scope & Applicability
EN 13920-8:2003 applies to mixed shredded scrap containing aluminium, other non-ferrous metals, and non-metallics produced from shredding durable goods. It is intended for materials that will undergo additional preparation and separation to isolate the aluminium component.Material Requirements
- The aluminium content must not be less than 20% by mass.
- The content of other non-ferrous metals must be at least 15% by mass, or the total non-ferrous metal content must be a minimum of 35% by mass if the other metals are under 15%.
- Scrap particle sizes must generally range between 10 mm and 200 mm.
Chemical Composition
After sorting and melting, the chemical composition of the recovered aluminium must meet specified thresholds, supporting consistent material quality for downstream aluminium applications.Metal Yield & Quality Assurance
The standard mandates a minimum metal yield from the sorted aluminium scrap fraction of at least 90%, as detailed in EN 13920-1. Quality assurance procedures include rigorous classification, sampling, and handling of non-conformities.Ordering and Documentation
Specific information must be provided when placing orders, including the reference to EN 13920-8, the type of scrap, gross mass, delivery periods, and any deviations or special requirements concerning size or material characteristics.
Applications
EN 13920-8:2003 is vital for organizations involved in the recycling and preparation of aluminium scrap derived from complex, mixed-material sources. Its practical applications include:
- Recycling Facilities: Ensures proper classification and preparation of shredded scrap, enhancing the efficiency of aluminium separation processes.
- Manufacturers and Foundries: Assures a reliable input stream for secondary aluminium production, reducing impurities and improving product quality.
- Automotive and Appliance Dismantlers: Supports compliance with European recycling initiatives and facilitates easier downstream processing of shredded materials.
- Sustainability and Circular Economy: Promotes higher recycling rates and resource recovery from end-of-life vehicles and appliances, contributing to environmental goals and reducing waste.
Related Standards
EN 13920-8:2003 is part of the broader EN 13920 series, which addresses various aluminium and aluminium alloy scrap types and recycling requirements. Related documents include:
- EN 13920-1:2003 – General requirements, sampling, and tests for aluminium scrap
- EN 13920-9 – Scrap from aluminium separation processes of non-ferrous shredded materials
- prEN 12258-3:2000 – Terms and definitions applicable to aluminium and aluminium alloys scrap
For comprehensive scrap management and aluminium recycling operations, organizations should consider the requirements in all applicable parts of the EN 13920 standard series.
