Plastics - Barrier films for agricultural and horticultural soil disinfection by fumigation - Part 1: Specifications for barrier films

This document specifies the requirements relating to the dimensional, mechanical and physical-chemical characteristics of thermoplastic barrier films designed for agricultural and horticultural soil disinfection by means of fumigation.
This document specifies also the test methods for verifying these requirements, except the method for determining film permeability using a static technique, which is specified in EN 17098 2.
This document defines the criteria for design for recycling of barrier films and refer to EN 18109 for the product lifecycle, including installation, use, removal and collection for end of life for management of the product after its usage.
This document is applicable to films used during soil disinfection by fumigation (class 1), and to films used during soil disinfection subsequently kept in situ as mulch films (class 2).
On the date of publication of this document, the barrier films are multi-layer films.

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die maßlichen, mechanischen und physikalisch-chemischen Eigenschaften von thermoplastischen Sperrschichtfolien fest, die für die Desinfektion von Böden in der Landwirtschaft und im Gartenbau durch Begasung bestimmt sind.
Darüber hinaus legt dieses Dokument die Prüfverfahren zur Überprüfung dieser Anforderungen fest, mit Ausnahme des Verfahrens zur Bestimmung der Foliendurchlässigkeit unter Verwendung einer statischen Technik, die in EN 17098 2 festgelegt ist.
Dieses Dokument definiert die Kriterien für das recyclinggerechte Design von Sperrschichtfolien und verweist auf EN 18109 für den Produktlebenszyklus, einschließlich Installation, Nutzung, Entsorgung und Sammlung am Ende des Lebenszyklus für das Management des Produkts nach seiner Nutzung.
Dieses Dokument ist für Folien, die im Rahmen der Bodendesinfektion durch Begasung (Klasse 1), und Folien, die während der Bodendesinfektion verwendet und anschließend vor Ort als Mulchfolie belassen werden (Klasse 2) anwendbar.
Zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung dieses Dokuments handelt es sich bei den Sperrschichtfolien um Mehrschichtfolien.

Plastiques - Films barrière pour la désinfection par fumigation des sols agricoles et horticoles - Partie 1: Spécifications des films barrière

Le présent document spécifie les exigences relatives aux caractéristiques dimensionnelles, mécaniques et physico-chimiques des films barrière en thermoplastiques destinés à la désinfection des sols agricoles et horticoles par la technique de fumigation.
Ce document spécifie également les méthodes d’essai permettant de vérifier ces exigences, excepté la méthode de détermination de la perméabilité d’un film utilisant une technique statique, qui est spécifiée dans l’EN 17098 2.
Le présent document définit les critères pour la conception en vue du recyclage des films barrière et fait référence à l’EN 18109 pour le cycle de vie du produit, incluant la mise en œuvre, l’utilisation, la dépose et la collecte pour la gestion en fin de vie du produit après usage.
Ce document est applicable aux films utilisés pendant la désinfection par fumigation des sols (classe 1) et aux films utilisés pendant la désinfection des sols et qui restent ensuite in situ pour servir de films de paillage (classe 2).
À la date de publication du présent document, les films barrière sont des films multicouches.
