This standard 23/30469871 DC BS EN 17188. Materials obtained from End-of-Life Tyres (ELT). Sampling method for granulates and powders stored in big-bags and small-bags is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.030.50 Recycling
• 83.160.01 Tyres in general

This document specifies methods for obtaining a sample of rubber granulates or powders derived from end-of-life tyres which have been stored in big-bags and small-bags. Several sample increments at different levels within the bag are obtained, which represent the average particle size distribution within the bag. From these sample increments, a representative sample is derived. The methods described in this standard may be used, for example, when the samples are to be tested for bulk density, durability, particle size distribution, moisture content, ash content, ash melting behaviour, calorific value, chemical composition, and impurities.
