About This Item
TS EN 12258-3 is a terminology standard that defines terms related to scrap in aluminium and aluminium alloys. Its focus is the technical vocabulary used to describe scrap materials consistently, so communication within the aluminium sector and with authorities can be clearer and less ambiguous.
Why scrap terminology matters
In aluminium practice, scrap can range from production offcuts and process returns to end-of-life material. A terminology standard helps align the meaning of concepts such as origin, condition, separation, recyclability and material distinctions so that the same terms are used consistently across technical, commercial and administrative contexts. That shared language supports traceability and reduces misunderstandings in recycling and supply-chain communication.
What this part addresses
- Definitions of terms relating to scrap of aluminium and aluminium alloys
- Technical vocabulary intended for use within the aluminium industry and in communication with authorities
- A common language for describing and classifying aluminium scrap
In general technical terms, scrap is metal that can be recovered for remelting, but its composition, contamination level, pre-processing state and physical form can all affect how it is handled in recycling. This standard organises the names and definitions for that subject area; it should be read as a vocabulary document rather than a specification that sets process requirements or performance limits.
