Foreword

GB/T 16716 "Packaging and the environment" is divided into 6 parts:

- Part 1: General rules;

- Part 2: Optimization of the packaging system;

- Part 3: Reuse;

- Part 4: Material recycling;

- Part 5: Energy recovery;

- Part 6: Organic recycling.

This Part is Part 3 of GB/T 16716.

This Part is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This Part replaces GB/T 16716.4-2010 "Packaging and packaging waste - Part 4:

adjusted to Clause 6 and Clause 4 of this Part.

Compared with GB/T 16716.4-2010, the main technical changes in this Part are as

follows:

- Change the standard name to "Packaging and the environment - Part 3: Reuse";

- Add notes to the terms and definitions of "Trip" and "Rotation" (see 3.3 and 3.4);

- Editorially change the term and definition of "Hybrid system"; add "Note 1" and

"Packaging no longer to be reused and therefore removed from the system shall be

recoverable in meeting the requirements of the standards" AND "Relevant parties

should record the minimum number of rotations (or reuse rate) of reusable

packaging in its life cycle". Adjust the requirements on "assessment statement" to

the assessment method (see Clause 5, 6.2.1, and Annex D.1; Clause 5 of GB/T

16716.4-2010);

- In order to adapt to the development of packaging industry, add the technical

requirement that "encourage the establishment and operation of identifiable

Compared with ISO 18603:2013, there are structural changes in this Part. Annex C of

ISO 18603:2013 is adjusted to Annex D of this Part. Delete Table C.1 "Example of

statement of meeting the requirements" of ISO 18603:2013. Add Annex C "Packaging

reuse mark". Clauses 4 and 6 of ISO 18603:2013 are adjusted to Clauses 6 and 4 of this

Part. 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.3 of Clause 3 of ISO 18603:2013 are adjusted to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 of

this Part. The subsequent serial numbers have been adjusted in turn.

The technical differences between this Part and ISO 18603:2013 and their reasons are

as follows:

- As for the normative references, this Part has made adjustments with technical

differences, to adapt to the technical conditions of China. The adjustments are

mainly reflected in Clause 2 "Normative references". The specific adjustments are

as follows:

identifiable systems" [see 4.2i), 4.3i), 4.4g)];

- Editorially change and adjust the content of Clause 5 of ISO 18603:2013. Add the

technical requirement that "Relevant parties should record the minimum number
