DIN CLC/TS 50741:2026-03

This document provides design-for-recycling guidelines for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cable management products and recommends design options to ensure the product is recyclable. This document is limited to the recycling of PVC cable management products. The following PVC containing products are considered as examples: - Conduits and fittings; - Liquid tight sheathing and fittings; - Cable trunking and cable ducting lengths and other system components; - Cable tray and cable ladder lengths and other system components; - Cable cleats; - Cable glands; - Cable ties; - Cover plates and cover tapes; - Articulated and flexible system components. Products associated with or incorporated in a PVC cable management system component but which are not system components (for example, enclosures, connecting boxes) are not within the scope of this document. Packaging of cable management products is not covered by this document. Insofar as cable management systems covered by standardization mandate M/584 are made of PVC, the manufacturer of such products should take their "recyclability" into consideration from the outset. The aim of this approach is to ensure that products are designed and used in a manner that conserves resources.
