PAS 107: Specification for the manufacture and storage of size reduced tyre materials
WRAP commissioned the British Standards Institution (BSI) to prepare this Publicly Available Specification, PAS 107, in collaboration with the tyres reprocessing industry. It provides a specification for producing grades of size-reduced tyre rubber of consistent and verifiable quality.
The use of recycled tyre materials in a wide range of civil engineering and industrial materials and applications is well established and has grown considerably in the last decade. This specification sets out a formal material specification system and defines minimum requirements for the initial storage, production and final storage of size-reduced, tyre derived rubber materials intended for a range of applications in existing and emerging secondary end markets.
The overall aim of the PAS is to provide a specification that can be adopted by suppliers for producing grades of size-reduced tyre rubber such that potential customers will be assured that they are procuring a material of consistent and verifiable quality.
The introduction of PAS 107 harmonizes the various independent specifications across the industry in the UK.
