Hi Lyle, As an EU accession state I expect that 477/2001 is the Czech transposition of the EU directive on packaging and packaging waste (94/62/EC). The only harmonised standards listed under 94/62 are EN's 13428 and 13432. Regards,
Dave Graham. ----- Original Message ----- From: Luttrell, Lyle <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2002 8:22 PM Subject: Packaging for Czech Republic - Ecological Law 477/2001 > > Hello group, > I just received an inquiry regarding compliance with a new ecological law # > 477/2001 in the Czech Republic concerning packaging of goods. > Apparently the law sets requirements on design and marking of packaging and > preparation of a declaration and other reporting requirements. > The standards are listed below; they are not ones that I am familiar with. > The products we are selling are ITE (tape automation systems). > > Does anyone have experience with this yet?
