Rare Earth
The committee NA 066-03-11 AA “Rare Earths” addresses specific topics such as recycling and testing methods for rare earth metals. It serves as the German mirror committee for ISO/TC 298 “Rare Earth” and CEN/TC 472 Rare Earths. Its task is to support the work of these committees at the national level, to represent the German position within them, and to actively contribute to their development. Its scope of work includes the development of standards across the entire value chain, encompassing the extraction of rare earths as well as their concentration, extraction, separation, and conversion into high-quality rare earth compounds/products, and can generally be divided into the following seven thematic areas: 1. basic standards 2. testing and analysis methods 3. mining and processing 4. reuse and recycling 5. product standards 6. sustainability 7. origin and traceability
