TS EN 12258-4
Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Terms and definitions - Part 4: Residues of the aluminium industry
This European Standard contains definitions of terms which are helpful for the communication within the aluminium industry, authorities and subcontractors dealing with the shipment, recovery or disposal of residues. It only contains residues which are specific for the aluminium industry. Residues which generally occur with identical inherent properties in other industries and private households are defined in prEN 13965-1. This European Standard does not contain terms and definitions related to aluminium scrap; such terms and de-finitions can be found in prEN 12258-3. The inclusion of a material in this standard does not mean that the material is a waste. Definitions of general terms which are helpful for the communication within the aluminium industry are laid down in EN 12258-1. A glossary (clause 8) comprises all terms in alphabetical order which are defined in this standard.

About This Item
TS EN 12258-4 is a terminology standard for aluminium and aluminium alloys, focused on residues specific to the aluminium industry. It supports clear communication between industry actors, authorities and subcontractors involved in shipment, recovery or disposal activities.
Residues specific to aluminium production and processing
The standard covers only residues that are characteristic of the aluminium industry. Materials that occur with essentially the same inherent properties in other industries or in private households are handled elsewhere, in prEN 13965-1. It also excludes terms related to aluminium scrap, which are covered in prEN 12258-3. In this context, inclusion in the standard does not by itself mean that a material is waste; in practice, residues may also describe by-products or material streams intended for recovery.
How the terminology is organised
This part is used together with EN 12258-1, which lays down general terms helpful for communication within the aluminium industry. A glossary section gathers all defined terms in alphabetical order, making the vocabulary easier to consult and apply consistently across environmental handling, logistics and recovery operations. As a terminology standard, its value lies in aligning meanings, not in prescribing processing methods or technical limits.
