CMCS publishes the CMCS Position on Technical Requirements

Posted: 28 August, 2024. Written by Georgia

We have today published a new document for producers titled ‘CMCS Position on Technical Requirements’. This document accompanies the scheme rules, providing clarification on specific requirements in the underlying standards (BS EN 13432:2000, BS EN 14995:2006, AS 5810:2010, and NF T 51-800:2015-11). This version covers the following positions:

  • Biodegradation testing for natural materials (IC and HC)
  • Qualitative disintegration testing (HC)

New sections will be added when the need arises to provide clarity around the interpretation of requirements. All positions are discussed and agreed with the appointed certification bodies.
