Overview

This document provides guidelines for one aspect of circular economy framework; disassembly and reassembly capability. This document establishes a set of criteria on which to base an assessment of the ability to access and remove/replace/reassemble priority parts of products. The criteria provided are intended to be used when designing a product and are applicable to different designs, materials, or construction methods. This document does not include requirements. The document does not apply to disassembly operation for the sole purpose of separating the individual materials. This document does not provide a method to evaluate the overall degree of circularity of furniture products. For this, additional complementary evaluation methods for other aspects are necessary. This document has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 207 "Furniture", the secretariat of which is held by UNI (Italy). The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 042-05-20 AA "Zirkularität von Möbeln" ("Furniture circularity") at DIN Standards Committee Timber and Furniture (NHM).
