About This Item
TS EN 13965-1 is a terminology standard for waste characterization that gathers material-related terms and definitions. It is intended to support a common and consistent understanding of concepts used when describing different kinds of waste, so discussions about composition, physical form, behaviour, and assessment are based on the same technical language.
What material-related waste terminology is for
In waste management, material-related terms describe what a waste is like rather than only what it is called. Concepts such as mass, particle structure, moisture content, homogeneity, physical state, or tendency to break down are important when considering collection, pre-treatment, recovery, and disposal routes. This standard provides the terminology framework for those kinds of concepts used in describing waste.
In general technical practice, waste characterization underpins analysis, classification, and process selection. Clear terminology reduces ambiguity in laboratory reports, technical specifications, site records, and administrative documentation. As a result, a terminology standard acts less as a test method and more as a shared reference that helps different parties use the same concepts in the same way.
- The subject of the standard is concepts related to different types of waste.
- Its focus is material-related terms and definitions.
- It supports consistent terminology in waste characterization.
- The terms help interpret composition, physical condition, and similar material properties.
