BS PD CEN/TS 17045:2017 provides criteria for the selection of whole end-of-life tyres (WELT) under different classes based on their size. It also provides criteria for determination of their suitability to be used in recycling and material recovery processes.

The processes described in this document include sorting of WELT in order to determine their acceptance in recovery and recycling processes.

Criteria regarding the reuse of tyres to be mounted again in a vehicle are not addressed in this document.

This document does not cover the operational performance of the applications or the requirements of the materials for certain applications, which are usually agreed between the manufacturer and the customer.

Solid tyres are excluded from the scope of this document.
