About This Item
TS EN 12258-3 is a terminology standard for the scrap-related part of aluminium and aluminium alloys. It organises the concepts used to describe scrap so that industry users and authorities can communicate with the same technical meaning.
Why scrap terminology is treated separately
Aluminium scrap is a key input in recycling and remelting. Material may come from production offcuts, manufacturing residues, or end-of-life products, and these streams can differ in origin, cleanliness, alloy content, and degree of mixing. Distinguishing those terms matters because the same physical material may be handled differently depending on processing route and quality requirements.
The scope of this standard is the definition of terms related to scrap; it is therefore a communication tool rather than a test method document. In recycling practice, well-defined terminology supports identification, classification, purchasing descriptions, and documentation across the supply chain.
General technical context
- Aluminium scrap is metallic material that can be recovered and remelted for reuse.
- Scrap terminology typically distinguishes by source, alloy content, contamination level, and physical form.
- Terminology standards help manufacturers, recyclers, users, and public authorities speak a common technical language.
- These documents usually clarify concepts rather than prescribe measurement procedures or numerical limits.
