This Technical Specification is intended for companies, associations, social institutions, and organizations in both the private and public sectors. It is directed in particular, though not exclusively, at regulators, standards organizations, designers, product developers, procurers, and product managers. The targeted application of this Technical Specification is intended to contribute to sustainability, climate protection, and the conservation of resources. The aim is to ensure the longest possible reuse of resources without harmful consequences by improving the functional durability of all product components.
