Annotation of standard text ČSN EN 17988-4 (751000):

This document specifies the environmental and circularity requirements for the components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment which contain plastics. It establishes sustainability principles that minimize the negative impact of the plastic components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment on the environment, taking into account the impact on its performance (e.g. catchability or lifespan). The circular and environmental design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment focuses on:
- the selection and sourcing of materials and components;
- manufacture and assembly;
- placement, installation, and deployment of the fishing gear and aquaculture equipment;
- use and maintenance repair; and
- the end-of-use stage.
Transport, storage and distribution are taken into account at the different stages, where applicable.
This document excludes design aspects related to fishing or aquaculture techniques or management
