CWA 17433:2019

This document provides the mapping of the immediate standardisation needs in the European paper and board value chain and the identification of gaps in the existing standards.
Based on the experience of the Paper and Board Industry, this document describes the needs loosely as contained in the voluntary Industry Guideline [17].
This CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) will serve later as a critical signpost for working towards a (set of) future harmonised standard(s).
The final CWA will be promoted among stakeholders within the relevant paper and board industries and national authorities as well as towards the European institutions.
The scope of this document covers materials and articles constituted mainly of paper and board 1 which may comprise one or more layers of fibre and in their finished state are:
— intended to be brought into contact with food or
— can reasonably be expected to be brought into contact with food or
— to transfer their constituents to food under normal or foreseeable conditions of use.
