Bio-based products. Guide to standards and claims
This PAS provides a signpost to key standards, codes of practice and guidance that can be adopted in the production, use and disposal phases of bio-based products.
Guidance is also provided on the communication of the benefits of bio-based products in a way that is accurate, verifiable, relevant and not misleading.
It covers:
standards that are relevant to the life cycle of a product;
labelling;
future areas for standards development;
existing and potential future regulatory impacts.
Standards coverage is limited to the UK and EN/ISO standards, where adopted by the UK.
Other highly relevant international standards are also included.
Bio-based products described in this PAS refer to non-food products derived from biomass (plants, algae, crops, trees, marine organisms, wool, silk, and biological waste from households and food production).
For the purposes of this PAS, biomass as an energy source, such as biofuel, traditional bio-based products (such as wood, paper and pulp) and pharmaceuticals are excluded.
The PAS is principally, but not exclusively, aimed at the SME base in the UK that either holds significant IP in this technology or is considering adopting it, and SMEs manufacturing bio-based products on contract.
